By now, you already know that Joy Reid, one of the dopest journalists on MSNBC, recently got axed. I was so shaken by this it brought me out of hiatus! But this episode isn't just about Joy. Its about what every Black woman leader and entrepreneur should be doing in the cultural and political climate that we currently live in. You should be amplifying your voice, owning your platform and creating your own economy.

If you don't own the platform, they can silence you at any time. But in this episode, I share how you can shift your mindset and take action now, to prevent that from happening.

I also get personal and reflect on a pivotal moment in my career when I learned this lesson the hard way. If you're still waiting for permission to be great, let this be your wake-up call.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• Why Joy Reid's firing is a wake-up call for Black women leaders, entrepreneurs, and creators
• The real lesson I learned when I was let go from my media job—before I could even sit down
• Why owning your platform is the key to long-term impact
• How to shift from being a consumer to a creator and start monetizing your expertise
• How to stay focused in uncertain times and block out distractions
• Why creating your own economy is no longer optional—it's a necessity
