January 24, 2018Secret Sauce – Welcome to 2018!
%CODE_SS9%
Welcome back to Secret Sauce! Happy New Year! On this episode my co-host Diane from BLK Proverbs. We talk about a wide range of topics. Obviously a new year means everyone has New Year “Resolutions” and we discuss what our goals and motivations for the year are. We talk about what it’s like to be stuck at a job you hate and finally being able to take the leap to building your own brand and business. Not everyone has the opportunity to do it but sometimes you need to take that leap to do what makes you happy. We also touch on The Crown, Proud Mary, Black Panther and yes, even 45’s ridiculousness in the White House. You won’t want to miss this episode.
In addition to the chat with Diane I also have two interviews throughout this episode:
I interviewed Kiara Madison of Madison Square Bakery who started selling her baked goods in high school and is successfully juggling her business and being a full time college student. Check out her instagram account @madisonsqbakery.
To get our year started right, I interviewed Ashley Chatman a certified fitness coach from Fit Body by Ashley. Ashley is passionate on helping women get fit while having fun and has a variety of resources available so that you can join her. Diane’s black woman shoutout.

November 24, 2017 No Longer A Ward Apologist - Secret Sauce #8
%CODE_SS8%
Welcome back to Secret Sauce! We change up the format of the show a bit as we continue to play around with different ways of celebrating black women. I am joined this episode by Tea from Fandom City and discussed sexual assaults on black women, when body shaming goes wrong and a change of heart. I then take a bit of a break to to interview Diane Liston from Styles of Imagination an award winning clothing manufacturer and designer from Cleveland Ohio. In my interview with Diane we talk about her first creation, her tenacity for success and why she believes sewing is a lost trade.
Award winning fashion designer and clothing manufacturer Diane Liston has been in business for years under the Styles of Imagination umbrella. She has become extremely successful with clothing in over 15 boutiques across the company under the signature line NGU (which stands for ‘Never Give Up’). She has also been featured in more than 20 magazines, highlighted on local TV and given opportunities to work with local and national celebrities like John Legend and Dwight Eubanks from the Atlanta Housewife franchise. A mentor in her community Ms. Liston advises to be a little aggressive to be successful in business and drops some entrepreneurial gems on the show.

As a gift to the listeners of Secret Sauce Ms. Liston is giving a 15% discount on her website www.stylesofimagination.com using coupon code Nov2017.

October 11, 2017 Take Care of Yo Self
%CODE_SS7%
Welcome back to episode 7 of Secret Sauce! On the show today we start with an article that is focused on empowering young black women to take control of their lives: sexually, physically and emotionally. Then we meet Graeme Seabrook a life coach who wants each of us to take more time to take care of ourselves. She has a virtual retreat coming up called Self Care in Color on October 16th and you are invited! Lastly we listen to a little stand up comedy from the hilarious Janelle James. Her new album Black and Mild is out and you need to own it. Thank you for joining us!!
More on Graeme Seabrook:
I have created The SelfCare In Color Virtual Retreat. It’s a five-day online retreat for black women and femmes that will focus on our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This is the first year of the retreat and I am trying to get the word out.

I created this week because I see so many black women on the front lines in every arena. It is black women who created #BlackLivesMatter, black women who first created an NFL Boycott, black women who got entire teams to #TakeAKnee (WNBA) and black women who got 40,000 people to show in Boston and march against racism and fascism (Didi Delgado).

But I also see 38% of black mothers experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety symptoms, and black women are 20% more likely to experience serious mental health complications than the general public. We are fighting so hard for everyone but ourselves.

This is one week where we can stop for an hour each day and focus on us – on our health, on our healing, and on our joy.
