The Dr. Will Show Podcast

Mariah Howard is also known on the internet as The Muva of Marketing™ or “Muva,” for short. She’s a serial entrepreneur renowned for her commitment to close the wealth gap and empower black owned businesses—online and offline—with her enlightening, mindful yet relatable but no-BS approach.

In her former life, Mariah studied molecular genetics at Ohio State University. As a proud Buckeye Alumna, she held several early acceptances to medical school but decided to master her skills in web design and pursue government contracting. She believes that business ownership is a path towards closing the wealth gap and living a prosperous financially free life.

And did you know that, African-American business owners have levels of wealth that are 12 times that of African-American non-business owners?

So wealth is a building block for prosperity, but most households of color have lost more than half their wealth over the past 30 years. She is working to make it right. Made's clients always come first.

After 3 years of working as a private contractor in the technology industry Mariah grew passionate about simplifying the overall systems for entrepreneurs. By August of 2020 Made Marketing Agency was incorporated as a full service digital marketing agency with professional development services.

The resources she's been able to provide in terms of digital marketing, brand strategy, professional development and funding techniques has since gone on to help thousands of entrepreneurs learn, apply and leverage the power of online marketing and strategize your business in today’s digital landscape.

The Teacher Hack Expert is Kamal & Jonquil, a hubby and wife team of incredibly passionate educators who have earned a Masters of Education degree and has over 30 years of teaching experience.

After countless conversations about the consistent challenges that come with teaching, they came to a simple conclusion: teaching is tough! And for new teachers, it can be a nightmare! We've all heard the stories of new teachers walking out within hours of the first day of school, never to be seen again!

From there, The Teacher Hack Expert was born.

Their mission is simple - to truly prepare new teachers to be successful by teaching the hacks they picked up along the way, and to provide step-by-step instructions on how to actually implement them.

Jonquil is in the classroom practicing what she and her hubby preach, and both she and Kamal are Edupreneurs teaching others how to hack their classrooms. They reside in the suburbs of Houston, Texas with their children.
