Angela McKnight is walking proof that your voice matters and why voting is so important. If you didn't get a chance to learn the impact she has on her community, go back and listen to Episode #9.

Elizabeth Santiago launched Ignite Your Inner Glow (IYIG), a health coaching and mentorship program for people who suffer from problematic skin. IYIG is a revolutionary and evolutionary program that came out of a need for people looking for a holistic and safe way to heal chronic skin ailments by treating the root cause-how you feed, fuel, and free your body from dangerous toxins.

This tenacious woman is motivated by seeing people's transformation and changing the world. When sickness prevented Elizabeth from becoming a physician, she found a way to continue practicing medicine in a non-uniformed way: soap making. This foundation blessed her to create other skin care treatments to help your body from the outside in.

Elizabeth's unique company name, Celebritay, came to her by divine intervention. She felt the urge to write her children's names down. With the combination of all three names, Celebritay was formed. Like the creator, the name and company are powerful and intentional.

April Peters voice has the same soul ingenuity and tone of India Arie's ballads. So kindly, she allowed me to play her latest song "Fly" in Episode 8.

Angela V. McKnight was elected as the first African American Assemblywoman for the 31st District in the State of New Jersey back in 2015. She is now serving her second term. With the collaboration of Tiffany "The Budgenista" Aliche, they will empower the children in New Jersey to be financial fit.

The one word to describe Angela is PASSION! Even though she wears many hats (including a political one), her number one priority is her grandson. While loving her corporate job as a director in a medical education company, her mother and grandmother passed away. This prompted Angela to begin the for-profit company called Care About You. After realizing the dire straights the elderly were in financially, Angela left her corporate job and started a non-profit called AngelaCares,Inc. which is an intergenerational program.

Due to the success of those programs, the Hudson County Democratic Organization and the Mayor personally approached her about running for Assemblywoman. She likes to say she was "drafted." Since being elected in, she continues to work her programs AND be an Assemblywoman. With Tiffany Aliche, she directly impacted the financial literacy of New Jersey's current youth and future generations.

The art of intuitively writing is a light bulb moment for anyone trying to write their memoirs. If you missed Schan Ellis in Episode #7 when she dives into this topic, listen to it now.

April Peters is the author of Landing On Purpose, a recommended method to discover what you are meant to do on Earth, make sharper decisions, stay on task, and live a more mission-minded life in 5 simple steps!

When she felt her life was a dichotomy, April became increasingly frustrated. She wanted and needed synergy. This led to Landing on Purpose. Connecting your "why" is important to figuring out who you want to be. April's sessions are based on finding the thesis for your life.

"You were looking for something and they didn't owe you anything." April shares her experiences of looking for acceptance and approval from specific people who are unable to give it, her experience with domestic violence and why she honors Daddy Laddy but is moving on to relationships that lift her up! In using music to convey her message, she is able to impact people in ways that are blowing her mind.

The notion that there is no healing with an unforgiving heart is powerful. Listen to how Angela Evans came to that truth in Episode #6.

Schan Ellis is a Southern Girl who is an Inspired Writer. She supports aspiring authors who want guidance in transforming their ideas into words. Through her system, she has merged life coaching and writing. As a Spiritual Life Coach, she teaches universal principles, spiritual laws and life skills that promote harmony and inner peace.

This Georgia Peach is so much more than her infectious laugh. Schan would be described as a lover of words who always wants to have fun. Although she attended Church weekly, she noticed she wasn't receiving Church. Working as an advocate for clients who were infected with HIV, she taught them how to create a vision of what they wanted their life to be.

While working for her clients, Schan also assisted women in writing their stories. She naturally gravitated towards being a life coach. As she delved into that vocation; she found meditation, prayer and the Divinity. Schan attended the Inner Visions Worldwide program and was taught by the one and only Iyanla Vanzant. This led her to find her true spirituality and calling.

Kim Legacy's revelation of the secret society of silk-stocking members was so interesting! Find that history gem, how to create generational wealth and so much more in Episode 5.

Angela Evans started the Young Women with Purpose non-profit mentoring program for girls ages 8 – 18. She also is an author of "Path to Still Waters" which is a book of devotionals.

In 2007, Angela Evans found inspiration to begin the Young Women with Purpose mentoring program from her then 16-year old daughter. There is so much pressure for teenagers at that time in their lives. Angela didn't want her daughter to walk down the wrong path. She remembered a mentoring program when she was younger, pulled from those experiences and her mentoring program was born.

Her faith was challenged when she experienced deception in her personal life. That forced Angela to find calmness in her devotional practice and seek quieter waters. Whenever she has challenges, she leans even more to God to find peace. This has allowed her to write two books to share her experiences and to help others in their journey.

After listening to Georgette's interview, did you order her affirmation cards? If you missed the episode where she mentions them, listen to Episode 4:

Kim Legacy is a SBA Women in Business Champion, Certified Business Development and a Cash-Flow Consultant. She also works with entrepreneurs to unleash their money mastery brilliance and gives them strategies to create their own personal banking system. Her book "A Dime to My Name: Breaking the Silence, Healing the Brokenness, & Living the Dream" was published in August 2018.

The first thing Kim does when she wakes up is thanks her creator. Meditation and prayer is how she starts her every day. This allows her to be grounded and prepares her to receive opportunities. Kim reveals how meditation allows her to quiet the noise of the world and trust inner instincts over other's people ideas of how she should live her life.

Her book reveals how she overcame sexual abuse and how it directly correlated with her relationship with money. This journey of self-discovery allowed Kim to find her power and her inner force. Once she found this, she used this foundation to help others with their finances.

D'TaRelle Tullis not only moves bodies but she moves people's spirits!! If you didn't get a chance, listen to Episode #2:

Today, inside the Pooka Pure and Simple Show room, I'll be talking the founder and my sistah friend, Dawn Fitch (and yes Pooka Pure and Simple IS fun to say). Dawn was featured in many magazines including Black Enterprise, More Magazine, WWD, The New York Times, and this year in Essence Magazine as one of their top 20 Beauty Brands.

Little did Dawn know, that indirectly, she was part of the reason why this podcast was created. She gave me an opportunity to settle and grow my business which I am immensely grateful for. Because Dawn is the epitome of grace, when I told her this her comment was: "We all take turns inspiring each other and lifting each other up."

Dawn founded Pooka Pure and Simple which offers irresistible body butters, body oils and so much more. Her products are available online and in various Whole Foods Markets.

Dawn tries to find the funny in everything. However, when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2007, she needed support more than laughs. So, she reached out to her tribe and a new journey began.
