Freelance writer, editor, producer and on-camera correspondent Brande Victorian opens up about the peaks and valleys of her career as a journalist and what has kept her going through it all.

So honored to have Brande Victorian as a guest on the podcast this week. Brande was one of the first editors who believed in my written abilities back in the day when I wrote for MadameNoire after college. I've been following her career since and have been inspired by her moves from iOne to Essence…and now The Hollywood Reporter. Listen in as she gets real about the personal and professional breakthroughs she's had to have in order to continue to drive her dreams forward.

Some of the things we discuss in this episode include:

• The important of having confidence in herself
• What it was like being a leader within the black media space
• The Power of Being Enough
• Why Brande chose to leave her "Dream Job"
• Why Being Yourself will always be crucial
• The power of moving...and more
