The MoChunks Show

In this episode, we have the beautiful Sia as a guest. For #ChitChatWithMo we discuss whether or not Black targeting businesses should be predominantly non Black owned. During #DeeperWithMo, Sia shares her journey as a creative entrepreneur, her time on BkChat and how she leveraged it, her previous marriage and sadly, divorce and the incidents that led up to it.  We also share our current favourite things in #BestIn and some life gems in our #MoLifeGems segments.

In this season finale, we have the amazing Yaw Okyere, founder of Ava Estell, a multimillion-pound skincare business developed to help people of colour treat their skin issues and feel their best again. Inspired by his wife, Esther, it has gone from strength to strength, backed by Yaw’s 8-year foundation of trial and error in entrepreneurship.

In this episode, we have #ChitChatWithMo and #DeeperWithMo. On chit chat, I share my views on Bridergton’s latest season, which explores Queen Charlotte and King George’s love story. So many interesting themes and layers were explored, including race, deceit, fighting for love, endurance in marriage and so much more. What were your thoughts on Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton story? On deeper, I share a story of how I had a season whereby I felt forgotten. I moved my show to its own space and didn’t see as much movement, as quickly as I had hoped or predicted. I felt I had missed my chance and wondered if things would improve again. Eventually, they did, I hope this story encourages you! I end the show with a #MoLifeGem - enjoy!
