In this week’s episode of Power & Poised, we’re talking all things fashion, function, and finding your flair. I’m breaking down how to identify your personal style, build a timeless capsule wardrobe, and shop smarter—not harder. Whether you’re revamping your closet or stepping into a new season of life, this episode is packed with fashion tips, styling tricks, and go-to sites to help you look (and feel) your absolute best.

Because when you dress the part—you become the part.

Tune in & step into your power, one outfit at a time.

In this episode, I’m joined by the amazing Monte' — a content creator and activist — for a real and eye-opening conversation inspired by Stamped from the Beginning. We touch on some powerful moments from the film like Bacon’s Rebellion, the story of Phillis Wheatley, and the idea of race being a social construct.

We unpack how these moments connect to the world we live in today and talk about the ways these old narratives still show up in our lives. Toward the end, we dive into what it looks like to reclaim our voice, empower our community, and actively break the cycle.

This one’s all about truth, reflection, and stepping into our power — you don’t want to miss it!

In this episode of Barbie Talks, we sit down with Samantha Minontt, founder wellness evolving a Christian-based health and wellness service that takes a holistic approach to healing. Together, we unpack the realities of survival mode for Black women, the historical desensitization of Black women’s pain, and why the Standard American Diet (SAD) is the real pandemic. We also dive deep into gut health—breaking down the basics, the hidden dangers in everyday foods (yes, even eggs!), and how true healing starts from within. Plus, we get real about what it feels like to share messages you’ve been divinely given. This conversation is raw, insightful, and a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim their health and well-being.

We’re breaking down the impact of AI-driven "medical" ads, uncovering the dark history of gynecology, and discussing why your period might be making you feel worse than it should.

Every year on February 28 and March 1, the dates that bridge Black History Month and Women’s History Month, ACOG formally acknowledges Betsey, Lucy, and Anarcha, the three enslaved Black women whose exploitation led to foundational advances in the field of obstetrics and gynecology that benefit millions of patients today: https://www.acog.org/about/diversity-equity-and-inclusive-excellence/betsey-lucy-and-anarcha-days-of-recognition

In this deeply personal and reflective episode, I open up about a life-altering near-death experience that shook me to my core and realigned me with my purpose. Join me as I share the struggles I’ve faced, the lessons I’ve learned, and the powerful realization that our gifts and talents are not just meant to sit idle—they’re waiting to be shared with the world.

This isn’t just my story; it’s a message for you. We all have unique abilities and passions that the world needs to see. Sometimes, it takes a wake-up call to remind us to stop hesitating and start pursuing what’s already been given to us.

If you’ve ever doubted your potential or felt like life’s challenges were holding you back, this episode is a reminder that your purpose is greater than your obstacles. Let’s reflect, reconnect, and step boldly into the future you’re meant to create.

Your gift is ready—are you?
