Happy Monday fam! We are starting off this week with a new episode featuring someone who inspires me daily-- @reesekate !! Katie is a dancer, actress, model, and all around go-getter who never ceases to amaze me. We talk about her journey in the entertainment world, how she continues to push herself, and the true value of hard work. Katie also opens up about her relationship with Alopecia and how she continues to own that part of her identity and how it helped her grow into the woman she is today!

Back at it with another GGR conversation with Sydney Allen of Shawty Reads & Shawty Writes.  Sydney is forging a path to bring awareness to the lack of diversity within the literary world by sharing her passion for reading and poetry.

We chat about:

What is was like growing up in a biracial family

Why she started Shawty Reads & Shawty Writes 

How to find inclusive books and develop better reading habits 

How we can support POC in our every day lives

Hey GGR fam!  

In today's episode I open up and get VERY honest and real about my relationships--past & present.  I discuss the many lessons I've in love/partnerships that I've learned along the way--from the good, the bad, and the ugly.  In sharing this, I hope that you can relate and also know that you aren't alone in what you're going through.  Love can be hard and a vulnerable thing to talk about, but here at GGR we just go for it, flaws and all!

Today I am so happy to have my beautiful friend Christina Barras on the pod!  She is a professional dancer and makeup artist who is the QUEEN of feeling the pulse of her industry and pivoting with it.

We talk about:

Christina's journey into the dance industry

How she builds trust and within herself & stays motivated 

How she pivoted into the makeup industry and built her business 

Christina's advice on how to gain confidence & believe in your ability to make your dreams a reality!
