In this mini episode, I check in with you! I admit to falling short, share some information about The Wing, a co working space for women, wax poetic about Beyoncé's "Homecoming" album, talk about generational trauma and shoutout some of the women who have recently brought light into my life. Next episode I'll be back with a special guest who will school us on investing!

Karina Cabreja is, like myself a Native New Yorker of Afro Latina decent. She is EXTREMELY Dominican and EXTREMELY New York. She is also a mother, a music industry vet and a radio host. 

She recently uprooted her life to pursue her dream of being on the radio and you will never guess where her journey has taken her and her adorable daughter, Quinn. Her story is inspiring and a major kick in the ass for anyone who has ever felt stuck. In this episode we discuss everything from motherhood to moving to race relations in the midwest.

We made it to episode 2! Hooray! This episode is pretty special because you're meeting my first ever guest and she is someone I have known for a long, long time. Chiquita Brujita (@chiquitabrujita) is the inspiring HBIC behind Brooklyn Brujeria, the creative house that produces the candles I used in EP 1 - you can buy them at: www.chiquitabrujita.com. 

Chiquita is a modern day, real life Bruja. Her world is magical so get ready to know my girl!
