On today's episode I wanted to take a moment to discuss what it looks like to hold yourself accountable while helping others. Many times we can get overwhelmed or just so focused on making sure others are taken care of that you look up and realize you've forgotten about yourself and your own goals. 

One person I wanted to sit down and talk with is Lindsey Anderson. Lindsey holds many titles including Executive Director of Vision Driven 757 - a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization who aims to support the youth in the Hampton Roads area;  Lindsey A of VA - Business Strategist that is helping aspiring entrepreneurs launch their businesses; Reading Interventionalist that is helping Kindergarten - 3rd grade students improve their reading levels; and mother of one. Lindsey is known to take action in the community and help whenever she can so she is the perfect person to share tips on how she is able to hold herself accountable while still managing to serve her community.

On this episode, I sit down with Antione Hines, Serial Entrepreneur, and Tyra Anderson, Kindergarten Teacher, who were very intentional when moving into this chapter of their lives. The Pandemic has changed the game when it comes to dating and statistics are showing that many online daters are transitioning to being more intentional when it comes to dating instead of a simple swipe. In this episode of Melanated Spark, we discuss what intentional dating looks like, the importance of being whole before deciding to date, and we go through some of the conversations you should be having with potential partners to see if that relationship is worth exploring exclusively. Enjoy and share your thoughts with us online!
