The Blck Impact Podcast

Black creatives had A LOT to say at CultureCon 2026! 👀🔥 And trust me, these conversations were worth having!I took The Blck Impact to NYC for CultureCon, and it was a whole VIBE! From mental health and healing to entrepreneurship, community, and everything in between, we got into some conversations that needed to happen.But I also wanted to know what CultureCon meant to the people who showed up. What brought them there? What does community look like to them? And how are they navigating life, business, and their mental health?And y’all know I had to have a little fun! 😂🎤We played THIS OR THAT, and I asked questions like PEACE or LOYALTY? 👀Some answers made me think. Some made me laugh. But every conversation reminded me why I started The Blck Impact.CultureCon wasn’t just about networking. It was about Black people showing up, sharing their stories, building businesses, making connections, and creating community.A HUGE thank you to everyone who took a moment to speak with me.

Everybody says, “Check on your people.” But what do you do when somebody tells you the truth and says they don’t want to be here?In this episode of The Blck Impact, I’m talking about the stuff we tend to rush past: how we dismiss people when they finally open up, why “you’re so strong” isn’t always helpful, and what it looks like to actually sit with somebody who’s struggling.This conversation includes thoughts of suicide and self-harm.

The Blck Impact Podcast hit the road! 🎤🖤For the first time, I stepped outside of the traditional podcast setting and interviewed guests live at Sip N’ Slay 2026.I wanted to go beyond asking people what they do and talk about what’s happening behind the success.We had real conversations about mental health, healing, ambition, boundaries, personal growth, success and what it takes mentally to continue becoming the person you know you’re meant to be.This was my first time doing on-site event interviews for The Blck Impact, and I’m excited to continue bringing the podcast into more rooms, conferences and events.Thank you to everyone who took the time to talk with me and share a piece of their story.If a conversation in this video speaks to you, let me know in the comments.Subscribe to The Blck Impact Podcast for more conversations around mental health, healing and personal growth within the Black community.#TheBlckImpact #SipNSlay #BlackMentalHealth #MentalHealthPodcast #BlackPodcaster #PodcastInterview #PersonalGrowth

Many people are walking around saying “I’m fine” while emotionally, they are overwhelmed, exhausted, and silently struggling.In this episode of The Blck Impact Podcast, we explore the mental weight of self-neglect, emotional exhaustion, and the pressure to keep going even when you’re drained.Through a powerful conversation with award-winning journalist and media personality The Media Prince, we break down what it really looks like when people ignore their mental health for too long—and how that impacts every area of life.One truth that stands out in this episode:“If you keep being strong for everyone else, you eventually run empty.”This episode is a reminder that emotional wellness is not optional—it’s survival.Created by ‪@Riversidefm‬ ✨Socials✨:https://www.instagram.com/the_blckimpact/https://www.instagram.com/shoppinattiffanys/https://linktr.ee/theblackimpactpodcast?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafrOHVA3D18ICTTW69N8Va9tibFml58PMqkYr7YXC9JRFJ4yp7Ed6nHJUHZJg_aem_hdYMf0EpQpgwp5OcjIXjmQ  ✨Socials✨: Media Prince  @TheMediaPrince  https://www.instagram.com/themediaprincehttps://www.tiktok.com/@themediaprincehttps://www.instagram.com/_themediaprince.com_https://www.themediaprince.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZnRzaAS33fNwZG9mAmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABpxafgNoVGYGu8SJd5n7jGcYq30x5lwFrAIZg2D-i7GITou6iczvfJj8G-2IC_aem_L9vHdbiZdEkORRzMwdOjYg💬 LET’S TALKHave you ever caught yourself saying “I’m fine” when you really weren’t?Drop a comment:👉 What do you do when you feel emotionally drained but still have to keep going?If this episode resonates with you, be sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs this message.#MentalHealthMatters#EmotionalExhaustion#SelfNeglect#ImFine#blackmentalhealth

In today's episode of The Black Impact, Tiffany interviews Corey Jones, a content creator and corporate professional, about the unique challenges faced by Black men in corporate America. As Corey shares his experiences, he sheds light on navigating corporate culture, identity struggles, and the pressure to overperform. This post explores essential insights you can apply to foster a more inclusive work environment.## About Corey JonesCorey Jones is a skilled content creator and corporate professional dedicated to sharing his journey of navigating corporate life as a Black man. With years of experience, Corey provides relatable insights on identity, work ethic, and authenticity in environments not always built for individuals like him.## The Illusion of Success: Survival in Corporate AmericaIn corporate settings, many Black men feel pressured to chase accolades that appear to signify success but often represent survival. Corey explains, "Chasing accolades is one thing that a lot of Black men feel they must do to be recognized as top performers. If you’re not seen as a top performer, you risk being overlooked."This relentless pursuit can lead to burnout, as many feel they need to go above and beyond merely to retain their positions. The struggle is real—overperforming just to sustain a seat at the table is a narrative many can relate to, but it’s essential to recognize it as a survival mechanism rather than genuine success.## Understanding Code-Switching and Its Impact on IdentityCorey shares his experience with code-switching, a common practice in which individuals alter their behavior, speech, or appearance to fit into a predominantly different cultural environment. He notes, "When I first started in corporate, I realized I was one of the few Black males and felt I had to blend in. I noticed myself changing my voice and demeanor to fit in with my colleagues."This behavior often leads to an internal conflict regarding identity. While Corey has since learned to embrace his authentic self, he reflects on how early experiences forced him to navigate spaces where he felt he couldn’t fully be himself. He emphasizes, "I realized that I was code-switching to adapt, but I am not high-energy like that outside of work."## The Trauma of Being Overlooked and SilencedOne striking point Corey makes is about feeling silenced in corporate environments. He recalls, "In my early days at corporate, I was the only Black male on my team. This led to challenges in communication, where people wouldn’t approach me directly and instead send others to talk to me. It felt like I was being silenced in a space where I couldn’t express myself."This sense of being overlooked extends into everyday interactions, both in the workplace and outside of it. Corey highlights the need for Black men to often initiate conversations and connections, stating, "We have to go out of our way to make contact. It’s rare for someone to approach us first."Created by ‪@Riversidefm‬ ✨Socials✨:https://www.instagram.com/the_blckimpact/https://www.instagram.com/shoppinattiffanys/https://linktr.ee/theblackimpactpodcast?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafrOHVA3D18ICTTW69N8Va9tibFml58PMqkYr7YXC9JRFJ4yp7Ed6nHJUHZJg_aem_hdYMf0EpQpgwp5OcjIXjmQ✨Socials✨:🎙️ Guest: Corey Jones @coreymjones3  https://www.instagram.com/coreymjones3?igsh=MXB6djM2eXk3bDBzYg==https://youtube.com/@coreymjones3?si=LnVN9Gn7dAS3XNg5Corey the invisible, syllabus navigator unspoken rules of corporate Americahttps://coreymjones3.substack.com/p/the-invisible-syllabus-navigating?r=33r51e&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=post-publish&utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv3&triedRedirect=true&fbclid=PARlRTSASUBKtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAaei_m3s-0wSZk2f4q2ZmZ-K2mCPS6KbLEtjkSTD7Y2PCKzyNEEM861Tv-R9ag_aem_CO7I5qMFz-89cqP1AJkCGg

What happens when you walk away from everything that looks “successful” on paper?In this episode of The Blck Impact Podcast, we sit down with Kenneth Contrell as he shares his powerful journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship. After graduating from Morehouse College and building a career in New York’s fashion industry, Kenneth found himself at a crossroads — financially stable, but internally unfulfilled.He opens up about the quiet burnout that led him to question everything, the fear that came with leaving stability behind, and the emotional toll of choosing purpose over comfort. From calling his parents in tears to eventually stepping into DJing, content creation, and building his own lifestyle brand, Kenneth’s story is one of faith, risk, and reinvention.Now as an entrepreneur and creator, he reflects on what it really takes to start over, the importance of support systems, and how fulfillment sometimes requires losing the life everyone else thinks you should keep.This is a conversation about identity, courage, and what it truly means to rebuild your life from the inside out.If you’ve ever felt stuck between stability and purpose — this episode is for you.Created by ‪@Riversidefm‬ ✨Socials✨:https://www.instagram.com/the_blckimpact/https://www.instagram.com/shoppinattiffanys/https://linktr.ee/theblackimpactpodcast?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafrOHVA3D18ICTTW69N8Va9tibFml58PMqkYr7YXC9JRFJ4yp7Ed6nHJUHZJg_aem_hdYMf0EpQpgwp5OcjIXjmQ✨Socials✨:🎙️ Guest: Kenneth Kyrell Content Creator/ Founder of Gentlemen Gatherhttps://www.instagram.com/kennethkyrell?igsh=ZW50ZG5pMmlucWJ2https://youtube.com/@kennethkyrell?si=hgA7UlnCIAxV3yHthttps://www.tiktok.com/@kennethkyrell?_r=1&_t=ZP-96f5yZFpyNa🎧Dj Playlist : https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/goodbye-my-love/pl.u-9N9LeV4Fy8162PSubscribe to The Blck Impact for more real conversations about healing, relationships, and breaking generational cycles in the Black community.#TheBlckImpactPodcast #KennethKyrell #Entrepreneurship #CorporateToCreative #BlackMenHealing #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfGrowth #PurposeOverComfort #BlackExcellence #GentlemenGathered #HealingJourney #ContentCreator #BlackMentalHealth #EntrepreneurMindset #SelfCareForMen
