    BUILDING BLACK WRITERS WEEKEND w/ CEO Tamika Jamison Interview

    I’m super excited about this next interview. I had a chance to sit with Black Writers Weekend, CEO, Tamika Jamison, and chat about how she built this community of writers and became the blueprint of the unseen. We dug deep and talk about: Tamika, when people hear your name today, they hear author, entrepreneur, visionary, founder, but who is Tamika Newhouse at the core when the titles are stripped away? You’ve built spaces for so many others to shine. What life experiences first taught you that creating platforms can be just as powerful as standing on them? BEGINNINGS & PURPOSE Do you remember the exact moment you realized storytelling would become your life’s work? What happened in that moment? Before the awards and recognition, what were the private battles you had to overcome to believe your voice mattered? BUILDING BLACK WRITERS WEEKEND Black Writers Weekend has become movement energy. What void did you see in the culture that made you say, “This has to exist”? When you first launched it, did you know it would become nationally respected, or were you simply answering a calling?

    I’ve Cried The Blues Play | Dennis Williams, Candiace Dillard Bassett, Darrel Walls, Karen Linette

    I’ve Cried the Blues Cast & Creative Team Guests: Dennis Williams, Candiace Dillard Bassett, Darrel Walls, Karen Linette Welcome to the show. This production carries history, music, pain, and triumph. For each of you—what was the first feeling you had when you became part of I’ve Cried the Blues? This story is set in 1945 Little Rock, but the themes still feel current. Why does this story matter in 2026? The cast talked about some aspects of the play that audiences would love to hear more about!: Dennis Williams: Dennis, what truth were you trying to tell when you first created this story? Mattie is fighting for freedom in every sense. Was she inspired by women you’ve known or women history often overlooks? Darrel Walls: Darrel, you’ve moved audiences through music for years. How different is it when music must now advance a character’s pain, love, and survival on stage? Candiace Dillard Bassett: Candiace, people know you from television and music, but theater asks for a different kind of vulnerability. What has this experience unlocked in you? Karen Linette: Karen, with your incredible range and experience, how do you use your voice not just to sing—but to tell truth? This phenomenal play leaves us with questions to take back with us: One word that describes this production? One lesson this story teaches? One reason everyone needs to experience this live? What are you most proud of in this moment? Instagram: @denniscre8ts @musiqcity @therealcandiace @reanlinetteofficial @jamir_smith JamirSmith.com YouTube: Jamir_smith

    Becca Oystila Interview | Rewriting the Beauty Economy

    Today’s conversation is about power, who has it, who doesn’t, and what happens when that balance begins to shift with Becca Öystilä founder and CEO of Booka. Because the beauty and wellness industry… from hair to skin, nails to lashes, fitness to bodywork… runs on the talent of independent professionals. But the system? It hasn’t always worked in their favor. And that’s exactly what today’s guest is here to change. Becca Öystilä founder and CEO of Booka, a platform designed to give beauty and wellness professionals more freedom, more ownership, and more control over their careers. We discussed topics like: -Personal Journey + Industry Insight -The Broken System -Enter Booka | A New Model -Tools, Freedom & Flexibility -Traction, Growth & Market Shift What I love about this conversation is that it’s not just about beauty, it’s about ownership, independence, and finally valuing the people behind the work. Because when you change the system… you change lives. Becca, thank you for building something that puts the power back where it belongs. Instagram: @beccaoystila @jamir_smith JamirSmith.com
