    Episode 33: A Seat at the Table with Andrea

    Episode 33: A Seat at the Table with Andrea

    I'm joined by Andrea Hall - friend, consultant, entrepreneur, educator, leader, mother, and warrior - on this week's episode to identify, implement, and inspire as we share our story, our lived experience as black women. We discuss three important lessons we have learned, two things we are still working on individually and as a society, and one challenge for listeners. When we give others a voice, listen to their story, and create a seat at the table, we realize few things: there is enough room for everyone, we all can learn from each other, and we may have some things in common. After all, "It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences." -Audre Lorde

    Episode 32: Celebrating Black History

    Episode 32: Celebrating Black History

    On this week's stop on #theroadtoequity, I chat with special guest and Barrier Breaker - Aya Eneli. We discuss celebrating Black history and the 2021 theme of the Black family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity. I'm always left inspired after talking with Aya and I know you will be too after listening to this episode. Stay tuned until the end to listen to rapid fire questions with this phenomenal woman! As Dr. Carter G. Woodson stated, "Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from teaching of biography and history." In the meantime, collect your personal history and write your story on #theroadtoequity!

    Episode 31: Friendship

    Friends, how many of us have them? I'm joined by two dear friends - Toya and Gam! Friendships are complex but valuable to life in ways we chat about on the episode. We discuss friendship - the ups and downs, highs and lows. My goal with each podcast is always to identify, implement, and inspire ourselves, others, organizations, and society to be our better each day. We identify the importance of friendship and meeting people from backgrounds different from our own. We discuss strategies to break down barriers and challenge the status quo in the friendship field. Lastly, we hope to inspire you to learn from others and broaden your network. Tune in to this lively conversation on #theroadtoequity.
