Surprise Episode: Reflecting on Year 1

This episode? A total surprise — for you and for me. I woke up with zero plans to record anything today. But as I sat down to journal and celebrate Her Newfangled turning one (!!!), I felt this urge to grab my mic and hit record. So here we are without a script or an outline, just me reflecting out loud on the 12 lessons this first year has taught me. It's part rambling, part prophetic (lol). Take what you need and leave the rest. And cheers to one year of Her Newfangled.

The Choice To Self Actualize

Self-actualization is the process of fully realizing your potential and embracing the unique path that leads you there. It's about growth, resilience, and stepping into your authentic self, even in the face of uncertainty. In this episode, we explore what self-actualization looks like through the lens of visionary leader, education advocate, social impact champion, and newfangled woman—Duanecia Clark. Born and raised in Harlem, Duanecia has dedicated her career to creating opportunities for underrepresented communities and ensuring every child has access to a quality education, all while navigating her own journey as a mother, wife, and woman committed to personal and collective growth. Duanecia shares her story of finding her way through the "wilderness" of life—an uncharted path filled with challenges, opportunities, and profound growth. We discuss how the wilderness became a space of surrender, transformation, and creativity for Duanecia, and how tending to her "garden"—of motherhood, partnership, and womanness—has reshaped her perspective on growth and self-discovery.
