Not Goodbye, but See you Later

Hello, my friends. Well, we have been together for a while now, but there comes a time when you just need a break, and that time has come for me. I am mentally exhausted, my friends. I have so many things going on, and I have chosen to take a step back from everything for a moment just to regroup. Now, this does not mean that I am letting go. This does not mean that I am quitting; what it means is that I have reached a point where I don't feel I am giving it my all, and I don't want to just put anything out there for you guys. I want it to be enjoyable and something you can talk with your family about. I have been going on 1000 for almost nine months with no break and hardly any rest, and I am about to break, so I'm going to step away before I reach that point. I didn't just want to vanish and not give you guys some reason because I feel like we are friends, and you all should know. So as the title says, it's not Goodbye; just see you later for now. Right now, I plan to return in July, provided all goes well and I am back to myself. If not July, I will post the updated anticipated return date on my socials, so make sure you all are following so you don't miss that update. Life is unpredictable sometimes, and some things we just can't control. We have to be in-tune enough to know what those are and strong enough to bow down and accept our rest. So just know, I'm taking rest for me to be better for you and THE BEST I CAN for everything! See you all soon :-)

Regrets

Happy Saturday, beautiful people; we are almost in a new month, and we are finishing up season 15! Can yall believe it's Gonna Be May... of 2022 already? I swear it seems like just yesterday amazon was out f essentials because of Covid! Man, time moves fast! We begin today's show with the conclusion of our biggest regrets. As you will hear in the beginning, my one regret still bothers me, and it rears its head every now and then. I want to let you all know that whatever that thing is that keeps nagging at you, do it! Don't let people talk you out of your passions. If your heart is set for it, go after it; sometimes, we value the opinions of those we love so much and many times over our own that we regret the one thing we allowed them to talk us out of. From there, we go into the best trip of your life and what it was? Let us know in the comments. What has been the best trip of your life up to this point? And if you haven't had one, where do you dream of going? During our discussion, you will hear my excitement over Lady Dee's answer and why. Also, you will hear Pbid's story and how we will top his! We then talk about the lack of common sense in society.

What makes us d the things we do? Knowing they can possibly harm us? Is it the adrenaline, or is it the social media clout? And then we discuss why society is so judgemental? Is it the projecting of our thoughts and insecurities onto others? What do you all think? Let us know! Is it true that regardless of what happens or what we do, there will always be a level of judgment from others? Why? /we end it with Lady Dee's question of the day! Let's get it on, Neva Scared, Knuck If You Buck! And we will catch yall next Saturday.

Inspiration

What's up, friends? Welcome back! Diving right into the continuation of our question of who inspired us the most growing up. As you all will hear, no particular person inspired me; more events inspired me. Lady and PBid Dee will share who inspired them and how. Inspiration is funny; we can be inspired by something, people, or circumstances. As we grow and learn, we can take instances in our lives and latch on to them like a leech and use what they taught us to make better decisions and maybe help the next person. PBid wants to inspire himself, and he will share with you how he does so. We then move on to our biggest regrets! What about you all? What has been your biggest regret, and what have you learned from it? Regrets, like inspiration, can be learning experiences. Regrets can also be the inspiration; they can inspire us not to make those mistakes again and motivate us to push harder! This gets a bit deep for us. Lady Dee shares her story and why she regrets the decision she made.

PBid shares why he wishes he hadn't poured so much into hopeless situations. As you will hear on today's show, we all believe that our path is what our path is, and the only person that truly knows is GOD. We can sometimes pour so much into someone until we have nothing left. Be sure that you preserve your peace and protect your mental health because you only have one body. I share with you all my van-life desire and its outcome. I also want you all to know not to let people tell you how to live your life. You only have one life to live, and I don't know about you all, but I don't want to live with regrets.

Would You Do It Again?

We are back at it, wrapping up For The Culture on giving Gap; if you are wondering who Giving Gap is, check out last week's episode. You will hear our vastly different responses and why we feel that way during the show. Rounding off our discussion with Giving Gap, we dive into the workforce. Would you guys take a job for less pay if you knew you could earn more? What about you guys? Let us know in the comments below! I am not sure if I would or wouldn't listen to find out my reasoning. Knowledge is power, and let nothing stand in your way of obtaining such. In that same breath, while I believe we should learn as much as possible in whatever position we are currently placed in, I am at a crossroads as to whether or not that includes me being paid less. During this discussion, we uncover that your decision is up to you.

To connect the two, we ask, if you had to do it all over, would you choose the same career path? You will hear questions such as, Do I enjoy what I am doing? Will I have been further along? For me, talk about my journey to reach my current goals. This brings us down a rabbit hole of college fall-throughs. Here you will learn about my many mistakes and what I have learned from making these mistakes. Lady Dee, as always, drops her knowledge gems again; just wait! We close this episode out with, growing up, who inspired you the most? Be sure to drop it in the comments so we can see where you got your inspiration!

The Giving Gap

THEY ARE BACK, GUYSSS!!! Lady Dee and Pid have rejoined us for this

 season. So we began with catching you all up on our week. As you will hear, Lady Dee now does three jobs, and Pid Bid got an award! We can't believe it either, guys! We all know that PBid is a fantastic teacher, and it is well deserved. We will kick off each season with our For The Culture segment from now on. This season, we have Giving Gap, a non-profit organization supporting other non-profits. Giving gap gives support to non-profits who need it the most. Giving Gap boasts a strong foundation of 5 moral principles that drive its organization. 

We use our platform and resources to amplify the critical work our fellow Black-led organizations are doing. By elevating visionary organizations, we connect them to key people opening doors for opportunities, funding, and partnership.

We work to build collective power through the community as a bottom-up organization. We listen, seek input, are accountable, and use data to understand more deeply. As an intersectional group representing a vast array of causes, we work to find common ground that serves as a foundation for all to build off of. We empower each other to do better, work smarter, connect with more people, and raise more money.

We are proudly Black-led and exist to support Black leadership and help Black leaders shine. We are intersectional and inclusive and honor the diversity within the Black community — working to uplift individuals along with our collective. We believe in building allyship across lines of difference to celebrate and lift Black brilliance in rooms and spaces where it has been absent. We celebrate the genius of our community, operate from a place of abundance, and believe in radical joy.

We help people put their money where their morals are. We work to create cultural and mindset change for those interested in advancing racial equity, facilitating behavior change in how people are giving, who they're giving to, and the causes they're supporting.

We aim to encourage and enable people to take action for Black lives. By facilitating tangible ways for people to donate, volunteer, and partner with Black-led organizations, we work to close the racial giving gap.

In my opinion, it is very humbling and heart-warming to have such a robust organization. Being a new non-profit and trying to navigate the nuances of the world of entrepreneurship, I am grateful for organizations like Giving Gap that gives me a voice and a platform to stand on. In today's time, as a black woman seeing the slowly closing gap of racial inequality in specific sectors makes me so happy. in the same breath, it reminds me that we still have work to do, but our progress is not in vain.

The Creator of Your Circumstance

As we conclude this series, we round off our discussion of if we are entitled to live a prosperous life? We begin with asking ourselves, are we placing ourselves in an optimal position for success? If your circumstances are not going as well as you would like, are you making an effort to adjust your approach to achieve that ideal lifestyle? On the other sides, if your circumstances are going phenomenally, what are you doing to ensure they only get better from their current point? As we all know, sometimes challenging situations can hit us like no other, and we sometimes find ourselves in a metaphorical space of defeat. Let's not stay there; let's acknowledge the emotions and move on. If we allow the unfortunate temporary instance to dictate our performance, we will neglect our true calling and prolong our destiny. We are building the life for our legacy; what does yours look like? I want you all not to seek out happiness; I want you all to seek out joy! Find something that not only brings you happiness but makes you joyful, as joy is something that belongs to you and can not be taken away. In our joy, let's not pour toxic positivity into our lives. Know that things happen but don't downplay the realness of hardships. In our ups and downs of life, we are strong enough to overcome anything. Your dreams matter. You matter, and someone needs what you offer!

What's YOUR Dream?

Welcome back, beautiful people; on today's show, we will conclude our discussion around what freedom looks like for you all. I will correlate this with Dr. Martin Luther King I have a dream speech. As we all want to be free and experience the unshackled reality of true freedom, what do you all think Dr. King's idea of freedom was? We then move on to the feeling of freedom. In the previous question, we defined what freedom meant to us; now, we talk about if our definition of what it means to be free aligns with our current life experiences. I share with you all what my definition of freedom is, and then I let you know if I feel my purpose aligns with my life. As I navigate through life's intricacies and try and figure out my place in the vast world, I realize that time is the only thing that will allow me to see the fruits of my faithful labor. I know that currently, my definition of freedom and my life don't align, but I live for the day that they will, that I can devote myself fully to running and growing my non-profit and shaping it into the powerhouse for change that it is meant to be. We then cap it off with whether or not you believe we are entitled to live a prosperous life. Our life is what we make it. Although the road isn't always paved with roses, we can still emerge victoriously

Welcome back, beautify people, it's just us again! As we continue our discussion on innocence vs. ignorance, this leads us into ignorance is bliss. What do you guys think? Do you believe it's best to be happy and not know anything or be cautious and have the knowledge? Let me know in the comments. We then move into whether or not people consciously choose to do wrong, but then I have a revelation, people DO decide to do wrong. We then move on to fear; remember when Paid and lady dee said, the world hasn't gotten more dangerous people have gotten less fearful. this leads me into discussing what fears I have; I believe that fear gives us a level of perception. What about you all? What fears do you have? Don't have the proper tools to execute effectively, or do you not believe you have the strength to overcome your fear at all? For me, I think I am strong enough; I am just not sure if I have the proper technique to overcome them. For me, failure is a thing I can learn from. I know that I have a purpose, so I have to constantly tell myself that I can conquer this. I then move on to the truths about myself. What I mean by that is even in my fear of failing, not being good enough, etc. I know that without a doubt, God gave me this vision, and it is up to me to do the work to make it real. Even when I doubt myself in the direction and the choices, God will be with me. What about you all? There are so many times that people will try and knock you down, but it matters not what they say. It matters what you believe. We then move on to what the term freedom means; for me, it means to think, be, exist and live on your terms. What about you guys? As always, I am interested to know what you think!

The Fountain City Difference Project? What is that?

Great day people, Today it's just you and me, and we will be talking about The Fountain City Difference Project. What is that, you ask? Well, that is a great question; stick around and find out. We will discuss our upcoming event, Splash Jam, and its community benefits. You may have heard us talk about this organization before. The Fountain City Difference Project is my non-profit. We are committed to bridging the divide that cripples our youth and their future by equipping them with the power of choice. Our organization believes that we will one day live in a world where no child's life is lost at the end of a gun, at the hands of an aggressor, or because no one listened. We feel it is vital to allow children to ask why because it gives them preception—having the ability to ask why lets them think. Children are the most inquisitive beings, so why stifle that creativity with a muting" because I said so." That is what we are here for, to give them a safe outlet to ask why to understand why certain behaviors are dangerous. We want to do our part in providing them with a future they can see and a legacy they can be proud of. Our new For the Culture segment will continue to highlight black-owned non-profit businesses so that we can stand together and support each other. We will further talk about the concept of innocence vs. ignorance. In my opinion, as stated on the show, innocence is unknowingly doing the incorrect thing while ignorance is knowingly doing the wrong thing. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments.

Live YOUR Truth

And just like that, we have completed Black History Month, and we are now celebrating Women's History Month! What women in your life or otherwise would you like to celebrate this month? I'll go; first, it will ALWAYS AND FOREVER be my mommy! She was the greatest ever! Let me know in the comments what woman or women you are celebrating this month!

Alrighty, on today's show, we round off our discussion of what it's like to live your truth, and LadyDee hits us with the cliche of being true to yourself! But, is that so wrong? my question to this is how do you live your truth? What do you guys think? I thought I knew, but lately, I think I've been a bit confused. As LadyDee said, to live your truth, you have to know who you are as a person, what you want in your life, and where do you see yourself going. She says peace is her truth. We then move on to introducing our new segment, For the Culture. As you will hear, this will be a moment for us to highlight Black-owned non-profits and for-profits to bring their excellent work to the forefront and share their missions with the community. We support everything black as long as it's positive, and we have seen there are so many non=profits run by black people that we had never heard of before, and chances are if we hadn't, then someone else hasn't either, so this will be the time to learn about them. We then end the day's show with if you were invisible, where would you go? Let us know in the comments!
