  • Episode 44: Do It For The Culture(s): Ahsaki LaFrance-Chachere of Ah-Shí Beauty and Skincare
    Proud. Empowering, Inspiring. Bad-Ass Boss Babe.
    Ahsaki LaFrance-Chachere, owner of Ah-Shi and Indigenous-Owned & Operated Beauty Store in Window Rock, Arizona. Did we mention it's the first Native American owned and operated beauty store in the US? Let that sink in.
    When Ashsaki's mother was diagnosed with cancer, this prompted her to look at not only what her mother was putting inside her body but what was also being applied on the outside. She started to create moisturizing skincare products for her mother to use (whose skin would be left feeling dry after chemo treatments) and from there her interest and passion continue to grow.
    In this episode we talk about how it all began, how she choses the ingredients, packaging, colors, marketing, and much, much more.

  • Solitaire Session: Your Girl Got Got with Jernell Simmons
    Some days you're the bird. Others, you're the worm.
    https://tim.blog/2014/12/09/future-crimes/
    https://securethoughts.com/how-to-avoid-and-recover-from-a-phishing-scam/
    Jernell’s Tips:
    1. Take a deep breathe and pause.
    2. Try to remove emotions and think logically. If not, find someone that you trust to help walk you through the conversation. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
    3. Listen to your intuition/gut. Do not ignore any red flags or things that don't sit well.
    4. Hang up and call your bank directly. If you feel the customer service person is asking questions out of the ordinary, hang up & call fraud line to your bank.
    5. Don't have your money in one location. Have multiple accounts with different banks that you can access.
    6. Setup different types of accounts within the bank so you can move money when necessary. This saved me because my money was dispersed between my multiple accounts.
    7. Have your paycheck direct deposit to different account and even banks.
    8. Use multi-factoring authorization and authentication on your accounts.
    9. YOUR BANK WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD. If the associate asks for it, hang up.
    10. Find out your bank's fraud policy and prevention measures. What's the number text messages from your bank will send from? Will your bank call you if there's fraud detected on your account?

  • Episode 41: Vintage Geek Out with Sandra Michaan of Alameda Vintage Fashion Faire
    If we had to chose words to describe our Love Language, “Vintage” would be one of them. And it is definitely the love language of our guest today! Sandra Michaan is the creator of Alameda Vintage Fashion Faire, a vintage fashion extravaganza that takes place twice a year. The event is March 13-14th at Michaan's Annex Auction Showroom, 2701 Monarch Street, Alameda, CA 94501 in historic Alameda Point. The event happens in a hangar. Yes, A HANGAR!!
    From their site:
    “The Alameda Vintage Fashion Faire is featuring 70 + booths showcasing a wide array of women's & men's clothing, couture, jewelry, accessories, textiles, fine linens and more. The VFF is your BFF for Vintage since 2010 & your Bay Area source for fashions and accessories from every era!”
    In this episode we talked about how Sandra got into vintage, her tips for a beginner, what pieces you should invest in, how accessories and layers can really change/revamp an outfit, and her thoughts on sustainability and how the younger generation is tackling it (hint: they’re doing great!).
    Also, thanks to Sandra, Shanika now has something new to keep an eye out for when scouring her favorite thrifting haunts.
