In this episode of Queens Behind the Scenes, Charise Beckett calls out the lie that opportunity means obligation. From executive boardrooms to brand partnerships, women — especially Black women in leadership — are constantly expected to say yes for visibility, validation, or value.

But as Charise says, “You don’t have to go every time you’re called.”

Through the lens of her P.O.I.S.E.™ framework, she unpacks how discernment, alignment, and boundaries protect not only your peace — but your reputation, energy, and personal brand.
