    Audacity in the Age of the Machine

    On this episode I sit down with Jacqueline Twillie, founder of BNEDai, Harvard-trained negotiator, and author of three books on leadership and negotiation, to talk about what it takes to meet the AI moment with audacity. Amid a tightening job market, shifting policies, and a wave of technology reshaping work, they discuss where Black women stand in the AI conversation, how to use AI agents to grow businesses and advance careers, and what you need to know now to stay ahead. Tune in to learn how to turn a technology that feels like a threat into a tool for claiming your seat at the table.

    Trusting the Process: Stepping Out on Faith (Bonus Episode)

    In this episode, I’m joined by Tunisia Wilson for a powerful conversation about what it really means to step out on faith even when the path isn’t fully clear. We talk about trusting the process, honoring where you are, and how God meets you in the midst of uncertainty, not just at the destination. This is a reminder that faith isn’t about having all the answers - it’s about moving anyway.

From creating “a force” of collective power to fostering spaces where women can recharge and rise, this conversation is a reminder that community isn’t a luxury - it’s essential.

    Black Girlhood

    In this episode, Dr. Tia Dolet joins the conversation to explore how Black girlhood shapes the ways we navigate identity, work, and transition. We unpack how this current moment of Black women’s unemployment is not random, but deeply connected to the conditioning, expectations, and shifts we’ve carried since childhood. Together, we reframe this period as an opportunity to unlearn, reclaim, and redefine what’s next.
