Today's podcast episode is such an important one… and I'm so thrilled to have listeners who actually want to dig deep into how to be a better person. Up this week, we're tackling the tricky waters of white privilege. The last month has been riddled with riots, protests, and really hard conversations about systemic racism in the US. Woah - that got heavy for a second… and to be fair - IT'S A HEAVY TOPIC. But a meaningful one, that I hope in my heart of hearts to become more educated on…. hence, our incredible guest, Ahyiana Angel's, breaking it down for us today.

I adore Ahyiana. She is the founder of Mayzie Media, and her mission is to be a chief encourager to the millennial woman. We've had her on before to talk business… now we're talking more about life. Before I go into anything else… WARNING: It's gonna be messy… but it's also going to be real.
