    [Part 2] The Courage to Create

    In this highly actionable episode, I continue my conversation with the revolutionary Ngozi Cadmus (TEDx Speaker and CEO of Happiworkers) as she shifts the focus from healing to hustle and strategy. Ngozi argues that AI is the great leveler and a powerful tool for achieving "ease of living" and financial control. We dive deep into: The AI Imperative: Why mastering AI is crucial for future-proofing your career and business. The person who masters AI will replace the person who doesn't. Time Optimization: Practical ways to use simple AI tools (like Copilot and generative AI) to save hours on administrative tasks, effectively ending your workday earlier. Digital Storytelling for Wealth: Ngozi shares how Black and Brown entrepreneurs can use AI to create viral-quality video ads and films for less than a traditional budget, turning lived experience into income and visibility. New Digital Ventures: Ngozi gives a sneak peek into her work creating autonomous AI agents, non-biased image generation platforms for the global majority (True Tones), and courses that democratize app creation and advanced AI skills. This episode is a powerful call to action, offering a clear blueprint for taking control of your destiny and leveraging technology to create wealth, visibility, and legacy.   Join our free community! The AMA Collective Ready to take control of your career and earn what you're truly worth? This episode is sponsored by the Salary Bump Accelerator.

    [Part 1] - The Courage to Create with Ngozi Cadmus

    In this episode, I sit down with the revolutionary Ngozi Cadmus, TEDx Speaker, Psychotherapist, and CEO of the UK's leading anti-racist mental health platform. Ngozi brings her unique global majority (BIPOC) lens to a raw conversation about the "why" behind the struggles of Black and Brown women in the workplace.   We dive deep into:   The Unseen Trauma: Ngozi shares her personal journey, revealing how issues like colorism, functional depression, and the mammy/strong Black woman trope create a deep, internal barrier to professional success.   The Threat Dynamic: We explore the reality of how Black women often transition from being the "pet" to the "threat" simply by standing in their confidence and truth.   The Diversity of Disparity: Ngozi powerfully validates that the barriers are not a monolith—whether you face racism, bias, or microaggressions from within your community or externally, all experiences are valid and must be addressed.   The Collective Solution: We emphasize that moving forward requires us all to appreciate our different roles—the fighters, the solution creators, and the advocates—to drive equity.   This first part lays the crucial foundation of awareness and validation, setting the stage for Part 2, where Ngozi will reveal the actionable tools, including why AI is the great leveler for achieving cash flow and future-proofing your career.   Join our free community! The AMA Collective Ready to take control of your career and earn what you're truly worth? This episode is sponsored by the Salary Bump Accelerator.

    [Part 1] - Get Me Together with Chenae Erkerd

    In this raw and courageous episode of Being Brown at Work Live, I sit down with the phenomenal Chenae Erkerd, also known as the Recruiter Cousin. We kick off a crucial two-part conversation focused on "Get Me Together!," a candid look at workplace trauma and its profound impact on our lives. Chenae bravely shares her personal journey through a toxic work environment, revealing the immense stress, burnout, and emotional toll that led her to a mental health leave of absence. We discuss the pervasive expectation for Black and Brown women to be "strong," even in the face of adversity, and the heartbreaking reality that this often leads to their pain being overlooked or misinterpreted as poor performance. This is a powerful, vulnerable conversation about: The reality of workplace trauma: How it can bleed into our personal lives and affect our mental health. The expectation of strength: Why the "strong Black woman" trope can be a heavy burden. The importance of feeling: We give you permission to feel your emotions, whether it's anger, frustration, or sadness, because your feelings are valid. The danger of losing your voice: How toxic environments can lead us to silence ourselves, and why reclaiming our voice is a powerful act of defiance. The "rite of passage" myth: We challenge the notion that enduring workplace trauma is a necessary part of the journey for Black women. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt alone or misunderstood in a toxic workplace. It's an honest, unfiltered conversation that validates your feelings and sets the stage for actionable strategies in Part 2.   Join our free community! The AMA Collective   Ready to take control of your career and earn what you're truly worth? This episode is sponsored by the Salary Bump Accelerator.

    [Part 1] - Keys to Successful Wealth Building with Brandon W Jones

    In this impactful episode of Being Brown at Work Live, I sit down with the incredible Brandon William Jones, Founder & CEO of Gravy, to kick off a crucial conversation about something many of us are taught to shy away from: money and wealth. Brandon, with his stellar background in tech leadership and finance, challenges our traditional understanding of wealth, expanding it beyond just dollars to include health, a fulfilling life, and true freedom. He introduces the game-changing concept of detaching your time from your money, a powerful shift from the "good job" mentality of past generations to building sustainable assets for the future. We dive deep into: Redefining Wealth: It's more than just a savings account or 401k; it's about freedom and control. The Evolving Job Market: Why AI, layoffs, and a less secure job landscape make building wealth now more critical than ever. The Power of Ownership: Understanding how ownership of assets is at the core of true wealth building and tackling disparities. Beyond Salary: Brandon shares his invaluable personal experience with equity (RSUs) at top tech companies and how it can be a significant game-changer for high earners. This episode is just the beginning of unlocking a new playbook for financial empowerment. Brandon and I are sharing the insights we wish we'd known earlier. You won't want to miss Part 2, where Brandon will reveal the "how-to" of building wealth through ownership. Join our free community!
