Rich Black Woman | Engaging, Empowering, and Elevating Black Women for Success

Join me for this inspiring conversation with Deborah Jane Burke, a dynamic Hollywood Film & TV writer and producer.  Fun fact:  as a student at Stanford, Deborah wrote and produced a Hip Hopera that starred Issa Rae as a student!  Since then, she has worked with networks including FOX, TBS, BET, PBS and so much more.

Deborah's latest project is a bit strange shall we say...stranger than fiction but inspired by real life!

Deborah takes us on an audio journey with her current project --the award-winning independent film Strange Fruit: The Hip-hopera. Find out how a recurring nightmare turned into an artistic venture and tells a tale of contemporary and historic truth that we can all learn from.  It's not just a film; it's a modern approach to storytelling in which we tell our own stories to ignite critical conversations about the construct of race in our country, all while doing so to the musical beats and lyrics of hip hop.  Broadway here we come!

A child of Guyanese immigrants who were one of the only Black families in suburban Orange County, Cali; Ya’ll the neighbors couldn’t handle it and moved! Their loss, and our gain, for the breathtaking resilience and brilliance that is Deborah Jane Burke of House of Deborah Jane Studios.  Check out her film and how you can support her work on the Big Screen.

Welcome to the Rich Black Woman podcast! In this episode, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Karen E. Osborne, an extraordinary author, motivational speaker, and advocate for giving back. Let’s dive into her fascinating journey as she became an author in her 4rth Act!  Find out what her favorite book is and why it’s one we should all have in our library. 

Uncover the real secret powers of reading and books and why reading really is a rainbow.  Shout out to Levar Burton.  So take a look, it’s in a book…this rainbow of a conversation has a pot of gold for your heart, mind and soul. #liverichly #richblackwoman #authors #blackwomenauthors

Karen’s path to becoming an author was unconventional. She spent over forty years as an academic administrator and co-owner of The Osborne Group, where she worked as a consultant, trainer, and motivational speaker. But her passion for writing eventually led her to pursue a full-time career as a novelist.

Starlet Taraji P. Henson set it off at the end of last year with her honest and authentic breakdown of how she continues to be undervalued and underpaid in Hollywood; even as an A-list actress in the prime of her career. Why did this resonate so strongly with Black women across every industry from Hollywood to high-rise buildings? If you're a Black woman in the workplace you can relate to finding out folks with less experience, education and acumen are making wayyyy more than you for the same gig. 

Say whaaattt??? 

So how do we not have a pity party but be uplifted and empowered and how do we secure the bag despite the haters? Inquiring Rich Black Women want to know!  Tune into this episode where I give specific tangible tips and advice that you can enact “tah-day" to ensure you get your paper to work for you.  Let’s get it ladies!

It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

In this intimate conversation we discuss intimate partner violence, also known as domestic violence. “DV” or “IPV” affects or has affected nearly 45% of all Black women.  We don’t deserve that.  You don’t deserve that.  Nor does your loved one.  So how can you help someone you suspect may be experiencing emotional or physical abuse?  How can you yourself muster the courage to leave an unsafe environment with hope for your future that YOU can survive and thrive after IPV?  My dear friend and accomplished author Danne Smith Mathis, a thriver and survivor shares her own harrowing testimony of overcoming and healing.  Tune in to this most important conversation.  If you have been blessed not to experience IPV, listen to find out how you might help when your path crosses a sister in need.  We are our Sisters’ Keeper.
