Confessions Of A Melanated Queen

It’s really a fact that Carrie Jemii has served as a critical and pivotal stakeholder in the Confessions Of A Melanated Queen brand.  

When it came time to reach out to graphic designers my book cover, I knew who to call—Carrie. 

Aside from that, Carri Jemii is passionate helping young women control their own narratives by promoting self-awareness and love. On today’s show, Carries shares how her nonprofit, I’m Pretty too! was started and the inspiration behind her work with women.  

Zachary Coleman shares his journey through living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and how his up and coming media platform will inform, empower, and educate the community on the challenges and life opportunities that exist for people who LIVE with MS.  

On this Season 2 premier, Dr. Lauren Meeks shares some updates on Confessions of A Melanated Queen and Melanated Queen Productions LLC. 

She also shared her thoughts on VICTIMHOOD, where she identified 5 different examples of victim behavioral traits. 

1) The Servant who wants to be served. 

2) The Lover of ISM's

3) The Girl Who Cried Wolf

4) The Keyboard Guru 

5) Sir No Opportunity 

Are you one of these victims?
