Spark Up Podcast

This is our last episode before the holidays and we've had an incredible run and so what better way to end then with business owner, entrepreneur, marketing genius, and the beautiful Sabrina Chaudhary owner of Stay Silent.  Stay Silent is an event and marketing agency that brings so many different events to the city of Providence like: Daytrill, Chunes, Eggs Over, Extra, Homegrown, Bounce House, and more. Stay Silent is at the forefront of the culture in Providence and brings so much to New England.  We talked about the loss of her father, generational curses, finding validation and peace of mind, the work shes done and does outside of Stay Silent, meeting Combat Jack, her love for Jay-Z, the life of a full-time creative and business owner, and so much more. 

We interview each other and we fall into topics about life and passion, love and sex, friendships, and more. 

From Netflix's hit show "Rhythm & Flow" and our friend Flawless Realtalk pulls up at the studio. We talked all about the process of making "Rhythm & Flow" the emotional roller coaster it took him on. Flawless gives us a deep dive into the emotions he felt during the competition and the bonds he built with the top 4. We talk about what's next for Flawless, he gives us some exclusive news, and more. 

We strongly believe in giving people their flowers while they can smell them and receive them. 

Episode 91 with Miss Rhode Island USA! Jonet Nichelle.

After competing a few times, Jonet Nichelle finally gets the title of Miss Rhode Island USA and will go on to compete at Miss USA. She talks about her job as New England Patriots cheerleader, the journey of pagentry, her passion to serve families, advocating for domestic violence, and getting her masters for social work. Miss Rhode Island USA reflects on her wins and losses and what she learned leading up to her win. 

Before we get into Jonet Nichelle, Regina gives us the culture shock with stories about Google starting a banking company, a 5 year-old bringing cocaine to school, and T.I being ridiculously overprotective and over sharing his daughter's sexuality.

Press play and enjoy another dope conversation.
