In todays time with so many things changing, updating, & redefining, can we still call a gentleman a "gentleman".  Have the essence of the gentleman nature changed, has he evolved his thinking to match what society calls a "modern day lady".
Jean-Wesley Michel, know by Wes, joins me to discuss this topic and breaks down the definition he has of what a "gentleman" is, and how he moves in todays world.
Jean-Wesley, from Brooklyn is widely known for his knowledge & love for wines. He has made a name for himself in the wine industry & on social media. He comes across as the true "gentleman" in my opinion which is why I asked him to help me out with this topic.

Sip it up with me and my amazing friend Devin as we discuss a book that has changed both our thinking and how we view EGO. 
The book "Ego is the Enemy", written by Ryan Holiday, is a great read. Devin purchased this book and had it mailed to me, that's just the kind of guy he is, when he finds something that he feels elevates his mind or spirit he wants to share the knowledge.
We really get into the details of the book and discuss our versions of Ego and where it has shown true in our own lives.

Kim Razil has experienced her fair share of walking away and recently with a business relationship. She is open, genuine, & insightful... giving you more than enough to feel strong enough to take the first step.
I speak on my own recent relationship ending and looking forward to new beginnings.

Damn! Forty Years on this earth makes you want to reflect and think what have I done, what am I doing, & what more is there to do.
I love my life! I can honestly say I love my life. I love the people I have encountered, I love the lessons I have learned, I love the path I have chosen. I wanted to reflect on what I have overcame, but I also wanted to get a broader prospective of what the important people in my life see in me today as well.
Take a listed to some phone conversations as these loved ones in my life reflect on my journey to 40 with me.

In a global pandemic, we are still dealing with the "racism pandemic". We are still watching black people die senselessly at the hands of the law. We are still fighting for basic respect, basic rights, basic opportunity. We are still fighting to be seen, heard, & valued. Although, you may not agree with the methods, you have to acknowledge the reasons.
In this episode I allow mothers to speak about what their take on our current conditions are, and/or how we should be responding.
Please enjoy the clips that I pulled from Kimberly Latrice Jones, Angela Davis, & James Baldwin. If you don't know what to do, or what to say, you should first start with educating yourself on the issues.
