    Episode 6: Still Becoming the PODCAST - Featuring Dr. Shanieka Staley

    In this episode of Still Becoming, I’m joined by someone whose story is a testament to resilience, perseverance, and the power of believing in yourself—Dr. Shanieka Staley. Born and raised in Dixianna, South Carolina, Dr. Staley's journey to becoming a scientist wasn't a straight path. After earning her bachelor's degree in Biology from Winthrop University, she faced academic setbacks, stepped away from school to become a mother, and built a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry before finding her way back to academia. Today, she is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of South Carolina, where her research in cell and molecular biology and genetics is helping advance the future of science and medicine. In this inspiring conversation, we explore Dr. Staley's journey through academic challenges, motherhood, career transitions, and the determination it took to earn her Ph.D. We talk about overcoming self-doubt, trusting your own timeline, embracing life's unexpected detours, and finding the courage to keep moving forward even when the destination seems uncertain. Dr. Staley also shares valuable insights on representation in STEM, the importance of resilience, and how every setback can become a stepping stone toward something greater. Her story is a powerful reminder that success isn't defined by how quickly you reach your goals, but by your willingness to keep going. Whether you're pursuing a dream, returning to something you once put on hold, balancing multiple roles, or simply learning to trust the process, this conversation will leave you feeling encouraged, motivated, and reminded that your journey is unfolding exactly as it should. So grab your headphones, settle in, and join us for a conversation about resilience, purpose, and what it truly means to be still becoming. 💛

    Episode 4: Still Becoming the PODCAST - Featuring My Momma “Ms.Christal Flagler”

    In this special Mother’s Day episode of Still Becoming, I’m joined by someone incredibly close to my heart—my mother, Christal Flagler. Unlike my other guests, I had the honor of writing this introduction myself, because no one can tell her story quite like someone who’s lived it firsthand. My mom is one of the most selfless, strong, and faith-filled women I know. A woman who has always led with love, resilience, and determination. After becoming a mother in 2000 and welcoming my younger brother in 2005, she took a leap of faith and turned her dream into reality by opening her own daycare, Sadie’s Angels—becoming her own boss and building a legacy rooted in care, service, and purpose. In this deeply personal conversation, we talk about motherhood, sacrifice, entrepreneurship, faith, and what it means to keep becoming through every season of life. From the joys and challenges of raising a family to the strength it takes to pursue your dreams while pouring into others, this episode is a tribute to mothers everywhere. To all the moms listening—Happy Mother’s Day. This one is for you. 💛
