Raise It Up, Wy! 🚀 ep. 58

Wyann Vaughn gets visited by her cousin, MC—Master of Curl—and The Doux's creator, Maya Smith. Disclaimer: Wyann admittedly speeds through the episode to spend time with her family seeing that she hasn't connected with them, Maya and her husband Brian, since 2016!

Maya shares about the importance of Hip Hop culture after sponsoring a special event honoring Dr. Dre (Break It Down). The West Coast girls talk branding and identity during Get Raised, and Wyann sings a Maya written song for The Doux's namesake segment, Douxadiddy.

Wyann sets the tone for this year's episodes:  In 2023, we celebrate Hip Hop's 50th year.  #HiWy covers how new artists can more effectively market their music.  In a heartfelt exchange for the Get Raised! segment, Wyann discusses LA street life and its current position in hip hop culture amongst young artists.  With the help of The Yarders (@boomerdidit, @l7haze, and @casaid95) throughout this episode, we begin the year with a conversation that easily leaves a meaningful impact in hip hop culture.

Balance and Options, episode 17, spoke about time management and prioritization.  Question:  What happens when EVERYTHING is important?  How do you balance time and energy then?  Episode 49 with Wendi “@iamwendiwithani” Vaughn addresses this in a Get Raised! segment.  We demystify “mansplaining,” in our Raise ‘Em Up! and show how any gender can fall victim to this communication pattern.  In our Douxadiddy, Wendi blesses us with some original writing as Wyann tosses in a poem from her first book, “13.”

Raise It Up, Wy! 🚀 Ep. 48

Moment of transparency:  I felt down the entire week leading to the creation of this episode.  I wasn't necessarily pouring from an empty cup; but, instead, I can say I gave from a drying well.  That became the motivation for this episode:  What happens when needs must be met even when the passion is gone?  This episode covers just that. -- Wyann
