Season Closer

by Sophia Lenore

Everything has its season – with opportunities to transcend or descend

Although every season has it’s beginning and end - by His Grace, each season provides another chance to reascend

As we reflect on this past season filled with thoughtful conversations, new collaborations and 2-year milestone celebrations.  We continue to embrace, uplift & amplify each other’s voices while pushing the culture forward

We do this to inspire & enlighten. To help educate the unaware & ill informed lost at sea due to systematic circumstance – a beacon leading you safely shoreward

Thus everything has its season – with opportunities to transcend or descend

And every season has its beginning and end

Although sadden by its end - I rejoice because by His Grace, next season provides another chance to reascend - so until then

Welcome to our final episode of season 4! We are so thankful to all of our guests this incredible season for their time, knowledge and wisdom. In this week’s episode, we chat with our recurring co-host, Sophie Lenore about the highlights and our takeaways from our guests. Thank y'all for your continuous support and love this season! We can’t wait to show you what we are bringing in you in season 5! 

In this episode we chat about:

1. Summaries of our previous guests and what to expect when listening to their episode.

2. The episodes that left us in deep thought and had Yana almost shed a tear. 

3. Why we have this platform that uplifts our women and all the great things they do.

Pushing The Culture & People Forward

by, Sophia Lenore

What is Blackness?

Is it a state of mind - or, a state of being?

Do you love your Blackness?

Or, is it just a fleeting feeling?

Do you stand proudly in your Blackness?

Or, are you quietly Black – not trying to intimidate, or shine too bright

Self imposed flatness

What is Black culture? Can you identify?

Or, have you recused yourself? If so, why?

Can you appreciate the beauty & uniqueness of Black culture?

Or, do you disassociate, denounce and deny?

 Do you refrain from the culture because of public opinion? Or, due to self imposed cultural discrimination? A process of elimination

The whole world covets & appropriates Black culture – cause our swag is undeniable

Simply said – we are not perfect but “We Are The Shit” – Our people are so Godly & Spiritually lit

Instead of practicing indifference – make a difference!

Push the culture forward - Instead of peddling conformed deference.

Are you in this to Win this with Us?

Then claim it! Take accountability – push the culture forward!

Are you setting a good example?

Are you doing the work within & without? Or, just focusing on yourself while pushing northward?

When you disassociate by turning a blind eye to the degradation of your own culture you leave yourself & your people open for total disintegration

And without the people can We, You & Me really move forward?

Do you really want to take that chance?

Do you really want to avoid taking a stance?

What does that future look like?

At first glance – inaction may seem harmless

Your just distancing from the group

But when you just focus on yourself – instead of pushing the culture forward by exuding Black pride and personifying Black excellence you may find success, but like Kanye said then you’re always just be a Nigger in a coupe

No social advance – is this how low your willing to stoop?

Ep. 75: Pushing Our Culture and People Forward

In this week’s episode, we are amplifying the voice of our beloved recurring guest, Ms. Sophia. Now, this conversation may trigger some people but this episode is filled with THE REAL: real deep, real heavy, real hard! In order for true change to happen, this is a must. Let's dive in and begin the discussion about moving forward as a collective.

In this episode we chat about:

1. Living your life outside of stereotypes

2. Educating yourselves on the importance of black history and our culture

3. The idea of having a leader and what that looks like for our people.

DO IT AFRAID!

by, Sophia Lenore

Where do you find the courage to lead?

Is it hidden in the place where you store your passion to succeed?

How do you push past fear?

Do you simply keep the faith and hope to preserver?

Why not stand in that fear – embrace it

Turn it into motivation – Face it!

We need leaders & politicians who are willing to take the leap – “To Do It While Afraid”.

There is no time to waste – our communities are dying.

A choice needs to be made.

Are we just gonna keep waiting for someone else to some save us?

Who would be more qualified to lead us then one of us?

Who would have more empathy and concern for us than one of us?

We need to put fear & self doubt to the side and just step up!

Who said that our leaders & politicians can’t descend from our neighborhoods – step up!

Who said for the people by the people is dead – step up!

To hell with qualifications

To hell with past infractions – step up!

Nowadays everyone is a hustler of some sort with a air-tight plan to succeed, but no courage to lead – step up!

Where do you find the courage to lead?

How do you push past fear? Stand in it – embrace it

Turn it into motivation – Face it!

Believe me, the best part of waking up isn’t Folgers in your cup!

It’s realizing that you have the power to save yourself and your community.

All you need to do is realize it - and just step up!

Oral Manifestations

by, Sophia Lenore

To my melanated family

My Black and Brown people – My minorities

Why are we so misguided and ignorant to what’s really important?

Where are our priorities?

We must take responsibility for our own health and well being – while simultaneously dismantling the institutional racism within the healthcare system – we must make a fuss!

Because ‘the powers that be’ are on a covert mission to kill you, me & us!

Dental health disparities continue to have detrimental effects on the Black and Brown communities – causing sever health problems and even death.

Your mouth is apart of your body - So oral hygiene is a vial part of your overall health.

Bacteria, infections and disease can build up and invade your bloodstream through your mouth with every breath.

So we must remain vigilant while taking accountability and responsibility for our health & oral hygiene – which is tremendously more important than our hair

Our skin

Our nails

Our eyebrows

And our fashion obsessions

We must reprioritize our lives to focus on what’s most important – this includes placing your health before vanity and material possessions.

This includes remaining educated and well versed

This includes putting your life & health first …

 Ep. 72: A Mouthful of Wisdom with Sheriese Ferguson 

In this week’s episode, we amplify the voice of Sheriese Ferguson, RDH!  Sheriese Ferguson knows oral health is overall health.  From a young age, her parents taking her to the dentist regularly made a lasting impression.  She knew then she wanted to work in dental health.  When she found herself working in finance for twelve years, she began getting burnt out and decided it was time to do what she always wanted to do: work in the dental field. 

In this episode, we conversate about: 

1. The percentage of dentists that are minorities 

2. The correlation of oral and heart health

3. How your medical history presents itself in your mouth

Descendants Of Freedom's Journal

by, Sophia Lenore

Where are our Black voices?

Voices of intellectual, financial, and spiritual freedom – for which we bled & fought?

Did they just disappear with united Black consciousness and progressive Black thought?

Who is writing for us?

Where are our Black journalists?

Our Black media armies – and brave woke writers that swing their pens like a mighty sword?

Where are the descendants of “Freedom's Journal”? 

The first Black newspaper launched in the 1820’s – when our voices roared!

Who’s ensuring that we’re protected & well represented?

Who will personify my voice?

Your voice

Our voice?

While writing stories about Black joy, Black camaraderie and how we uniquely congregate to rejoice!

We need and depend on Black writers

Black researchers 

And Black commentators to fight the multitude of covert wars waged against us. 

Our stories & experiences are beautiful and vast – collectively we’ve healed from trauma –and have evolved our past. 

So, calling all young Black voices equipped with ready pens – to write stories that highlight Black excellence, perseverance & health awareness en masse - Because we’ve progressed past stories of “The Back of The Bus”.

And now we need Black voices that represent Me as We - They as Us.

- Pan Africa

In this week’s episode, we amplify the voice of Quiana Darden!  Quiana Darden is an elementary school teacher turned full time copywriter. She had established her authority in content marketing by helping multi-million dollar corporations and industry experts with their business content.  She now helps solopreneurs confidently create content with connects and coverts.  

In this episode, we conversate about: 

1. Quiana’s journey from side hustle to full time copywriter

2. What does she do if she hits the dreaded “writer’s block”

3. Why it’s important to develop your marketing and strategy systems to run your business

Between Us

By Sophia Lenore

If I fall - she catches me.

When I stumble - she grabs my hand.

She’s my confidant

My safety net

My right-hand woman

My number one fan

When I don’t know the way - she does the research to guide me.

Through triumphs and failures

During moments of embarrassment or disgrace - she’s right there beside me.

When the pain and self doubt becomes too great - she knows just what to say

More importantly, she knows just what to do to ward negativity away.

She’s my support system

My Angel

My Sister from another Mother

My other significant other

My kindred spirit

My Sister Circle - to whom I owe much merit

Friends & Friendships, by Sophia Lenore

What is a friend?Someone to laugh and converse with?A drinking partner?A self-prescribed therapist to fill the void?An incognizant martyr?What is a friend in its truest form?Someone who will encourage your dreams and share in your experiences?A loyal companion - who helps weather the storm.

Truly ask yourself

Do you have friends?Or well - acquainted fans?

Confidants?Or gossip circles, that console you with pity parties involving tequila shots & beer cans/Or do you have healing circles? Equipped with prayer warriors and the laying of hands?True friendships are supposed to add value to your life.

A true friend will remain loyal, reliable and respectful - while providing wisdom, encouragement, and a sense of refuge.

So, if your friendships aren’t lifting you up - they could be tearing you down.

You must be wise

Assess your circle

Restructure your relationships and REVER your crown

In this week’s episode, we amplify the voice of Hannah McCall.  Hannah stumbled into clean beauty when she was introduced to Beautycounter. It exposed her to a world of information about the beauty industry & the lack of regulation surrounding our personal care products.  Especially as black women.  She created Clean Beauty for Black Girls because more than 75% of the products marketed to black women contain ingredients known to be harmful or potentially dangerous.  Hannah McCall has built her brand on the following belief: “We deserve the truth because our health matters”!

What you’ll learn:

• How Hannah becoming a wine ambassador led her to create sustainable change in the beauty industry
• What transitioned this former tomboy to speak to Congress about beauty products
• The exposure to black women in the beauty industry

Opening poem written & recited by Sophia Lenore of Prestige Artists & The Prestige Magazine

Toxic Beauty, By Sophia Lenore

Do you know what’s in it? Do you even care? Hence – do you love yourself? Value your health – nurture & protect every melanated cell? Or is it just hair?

Failure to educate yourself about products you put on, or in your body will leave you with burdens to bear.  Like early on-set puberty, fibroids, cysts, and more aggressive cancers – in our community none of this is rare.

Poor choice of food & beauty products can be our deadliest culprits – or did you think Black specific malignancies & diseases just came from the air?

 We must remain vigilant as Black consumers in a White centered beauty industry.  An industry that has yet to uphold a standard of care that is inclusive to the benefit & health of Black women.

So, shouldn’t you know what’s in it? Your life could depend on it.

The truth is whatever you place on your skin, or in your body ends up in your bloodstream.  So, making the connection between healthcare and beauty care is about protecting your self – nothing extreme.

So, let’s educate ourselves, choose better products, demand regulations and make vigilant brand awareness the new mainstream.
