Inimitable Black Woman

It’s been a minute! Life has been lifing but I did two interviews that speak to the process of being a black female creative. In the first interview, we will hear a conversation with Kara Stevens about finances which speaks directly to us.

Her relatable financial advice has been featured on Forbes, CNN, Business Insider, Huffington Post, Yahoo Finance, ESSENCE, Women’s Day Magazine, The Washington Post, and other nationally recognized media outlets.

She is also the author of heal your relationship with money, The Happy Finances Challenge, and Unmasking the Strong Black Woman.

In the business of storytelling, Rita carries the torch of making people feel seen and heard through her work. This interview really affirms that your path is yours and yes tinder can work past the year 2016 but maybe only in North Carolina.

I love this episode so much. After watching Diamonde’s documentary Best Friends Not Forever I knew I had to talk to her about her process as a creative and the complexities of friendship among black women. It was an insightful and nurturing conversation.

Welcome to a 🚨NEW SEASON 🚨 of ✨INIMITABLE BLACK WOMAN✨

In my first interview back, we talked to Maureen 2 years after our last interview during the pandemic. Life has changed, and in this talk, we focused on her work as a creative, model, and influencer.

In this new season of IBW, I have decided to focus on 'Telling the Stories of the Storytellers.' I want to explore what it is like for different black female creatives and how they've carved out their career paths while also continuing to share their life stories.
