"Evoke your greatest feeling with the perfect Aroma" - Tender Time Candles

I learned about Jasanea from a previous guest and was inspired by her entrepreneurial spirit. As time passed, I noticed she consistently made improvements to her product. Her candles changed in size, shape, and smell. She hosts candle-making classes and has added body butter and room sprays to the goods she offers.

In this episode, we discuss events that have caused her to reflect on how she was living, where she finds peace, what helps her stay balanced, and the pain she bears from strained relationships.

On this episode, we had the privilege of sitting down with Michael Hyman, an inspiring individual who wears many hats: activist, teacher, minister, and board of education member. Growing up in the heart of South Carolina during a time of segregation, Mr. Hyman's life has been shaped by pivotal moments that ignited his passion for serving others. In conversation, he graciously shares some of these turning points with us. Mr. Hyman emphasizes a crucial point, particularly for black men: the importance of being in the room where decisions are made. He believes that when black voices are at the table, our perspectives are heard, our experiences are acknowledged, and our needs are considered. Join us as we delve into Mr. Hyman's journey, exploring the experiences and beliefs that drive his commitment to making a difference in his community and beyond. This is a conversation about empowerment, advocacy, and the unwavering belief that change is possible when we stand together
