Janai Imani: Hello, good morning and welcome to black girl Bible. So this is my first episode of my podcast. And in this episode, I will really just be introducing what is black girl Bible, who I am and what you will be gaining from listening to this podcast. let's talk , little bit about who I am. So my name is Janae Imani. I am 19 years old at the moment, and I'm an entrepreneur and influencer and a college students. Let's start with entrepreneur one. We have this podcast here. I also have my own cosmetic line Janine Mani, which will be launching September 7th this year, which is my 20th birthday. I have lashes and lip gloss and plan to expand in that regard. But also I am an influencer. I have a YouTube channel, Jenny Imani as well, and I do lifestyle beauty, fashion, hair makeup, the whole nine. I'm also a college students. I will be going into my senior year this year I am a psychology major, French minor. And yeah, it's just a little bit about me. I've grown up in the church and I am a praised dancer. I am involved in several other ministries. I sing, I dance. that's just a little bit of a backstory on who I am. And so now I would like to talk a little bit more about the purpose and the mission and the goal of black girl Bible. So, what is black girl Bible? black girl Bible is something that got inspired me with, that I really wanted to do as I was growing in my own journey growing my faith and learning more about. Being a faithful Christian. And I really wanted to relate to an experience of not only being a black girl, but being a Christian Black girl. And so at the time that I, was given this idea, I was really looking for this idea of myself. I wanted something. That was black women speaking on the black experience as a woman, but relating it to the Bible and giving me that Bible advice on how to go about being a black woman in today's world. And I was unable to really find what I was looking for. And so in turn, I just decided that I would be that for other people. And so with that being said, I don't have all of the answers, but I would just be speaking on some. Experiences that I've had giving advice, but , giving godly advice is the important part. this podcast is really erected towards young women. I'd say college age and younger, just because I, myself am a college student . So I feel that I can't really speak on anything past the college level experience since I have yet to live there. So as I stated before, I'll be giving advice and speaking on my experiences for black girls who want. Christian advice and godly advice on how to navigate their way through the world. that is really my purpose. That is my mission is to be that support system that people can turn to for advice and know that it's coming from God and know that it's got God's word standing behind it. These podcasts are going to be every Monday. I'll put them up in the morning and you guys can listen. They're going to be designed to be pretty short around 10 minutes each, I would say perfect for a young adult college student on the run, whether you're listening to it on your way to class or something of that nature, they're designed to just be short, little snippets that you can get on Mondays to start your week off strong and know that no matter what you're going through, God has your back and he is there to help you through any and every situation. So I want to speak on a little bit about how I see this podcast going in the future. this episode, since it is the first episode and more of an introduction episode is a little bit different, but I do plan to have more of a structured approach to these. my idea is, I'd like to start off with a song, just whatever I think is going with that message for that day. And then we'd lead into prayer. And then I'd also give you all some scriptures and just talk about whatever my message for you all is that day. Also every week will just be a different topic.
