To kickstart Season 05, we hosted Devona Stimpson. It's hard to describe everything she does, but in the first couple minutes of her elevator pitch she talks about being an artist, muralist, entrepreneur, business owner, podcaster, and the list goes on and on.   We originally met through ClubHouse app, and I immediately reached out trying to get her to share her story with everyone. And it was AWESOME.   Let us know your thoughts! and follow her journey :  https://www.instagram.com/devonastimpson/?hl=en http://devonastimpson.com/ --- Beat Provided By https://freebeats.io​Produced By White Hot

In the season 4 finale, we host the incredible creative brain of Ryan Cardona.

Inue and the book will launch in May 2021.   Follow his journey here :  https://www.instagram.com/nitoinue/--- Beat Provided By https://freebeats.io​Produced By White Hot

In this weeks episode - we feature the absolutely lovely Jennessa Burks... and I can officially say i've cried for the first time on my own show.  Jennessa speaks an immaculate truth throughout our entire conversation - one that was pure, authentic, bubbly, honest, and proud. Dont read about her here, listen/watch the episode to understand her impact.

On this weeks episode, we host Martin Sallieres - a young up and coming designer that everyone should keep an eye on!  Martin takes us through his step by step journey of how he arrived to becoming a senior designer for Filling Pieces within just 3 short years. One key take away for me was TRUST. Martin trusting himself and his skillset, and also Filling Pieces trusting and believing in him.
