People would be amazed at how often, early in my life, I felt invisible. Sure, I was sitting in the front row in class and raising my hand to answer questions and was a really good student. I was sitting in the 2nd chair in the clarinet section in the band. I was the best player on the basketball team. And yet, deep down I was aware that my friends and classmates truly didn’t see me.
I don’t recall any specific conversations where my parents told me how I had to show up, but I intrinsically knew that I didn’t want to do anything that would draw too much attention. I wanted to fit in. I did not want to be “othered”.
I got so good at it that I didn’t truly realize how adept I had become at compartmentalizing my life. Code-switching. Moving and speaking in a certain way “in public” and exhaling when I was with family and friends who “got me”.
But over the last several years, I have intentionally focused on finding the spaces in which I could be myself. There’s an ease to it. There is comfort. There is understanding. There is…joy.
In this special episode of Unlocking the Club, I revisit conversations we’ve had on the show with previous guests where they have shared those spaces and places they go to to connect with themselves. To be at ease. They reveal the people they surround themselves with in an effort to show up fully. We talk about how to find and how to create the psychological safety that will allow us to be our full selves. We unlock the spaces, sanctuaries and clubs when you can be unapologetically you!
I invite you to join the conversation as I discuss:
Importance of psychological safety
Creating safe spaces is essential
The Four Stages of Psychological Safety by Timothy Clark
Prioritize safe spaces
Finding community
Showing up with authenticity
Healing powers of nature
Empowerment
Finding our sanctuaries
Prioritize self-care for psychological safety.

If you are trying to live a life that you envisioned, there is a cheat code for that. If you are trying to be a great leader, there is a cheat code for that. If you are trying to make people feel seen and heard, there is a cheat code for that as well. Luckily, the cheat code is the same for all three and I am going to share it with you. The cheat code is: self-awareness. When you are self -aware, how you receive information hits differently.
In this episode, I am speaking with Solita C. Roberts. Solita's mission is to help you powerfully show up as the confident leader you are...through your style! Her company, Style to Impact, focus is to give you the confidence and wardrobe to embrace all that makes you, you! In order to do that, you need to be self-aware!

Black people are lazy. Black people don't have anything to bring to the table. Black people don't have great ideas. These clichés are what keep systematic racism in power. If we are unable to show our greatness because no one is listening, how do we prove these stereotypes wrong? This type of thinking does not just happen in the workforce. It begins at a very young age in our education system. Per Education Weekly, "a typical U.S. student spends 8,884 hours over nine years to complete primary and lower secondary education." With that amount of time, teachers have the ability to either breath life into a child or deflate them like a balloon. If a child is the "only one" in the classroom that looks different than the others, what's the likelihood they are going to receive positive affirmations or any affirmations at all?
In this episode, I am speaking with Nikole Collins Puri. Nikole is a social justice visionary, strategist, advocate and mentor who has committed her life to unleashing the potential of untapped communities. She’s the CEO of Techbridge Girls, a nonprofit organization that excites, educates and equips girls from low-income communities through STEM, empowering them to pursue STEM careers and achieve economic mobility and financial security as adults.

We are coming right off of the tail end of Thanksgiving. When you saw all those fixings, how did you make your plate? Did you pile everything on? Did you get those plates that have separate compartments? Did you eat all the proteins at one time and then go back for some veggies and then some carbs. How you ate your Thanksgiving meal is probably how you are going to approach what to do when a plethora of inspiration, ideas and creativity hits you. Are you going to mix it all together and nosh or are you going to be more strategic and have a plan of action?
In this episode, there is nobody better to dive into this discussion than Melissa Haughton! Melissa (she/her) is a writer, marketer and digital storyteller of Jamaican descent based in Toronto. Her work often explores ideas of family, culture and community through the lens of Blackness. In 2020, Melissa created and produced So What Are You? a six-part podcast series exploring diasporic and familial relationships to cultural identity. In 2021, she co-produced Bad Internet, a two-part audio documentary on Internet (dis)connectivity in Canada. She is currently the Marketing Manager at edit audio, where she oversees strategy for partnerships and promotion of branded client podcasts and in-house original series, including the Ambie-nominated series Date With Daddy, and Ozarks True Crime, which has surpassed 1.5 million downloads worldwide.

We are officially in the throws of the holiday season. Although it is customary to give tangible gifts, some of the greatest gifts do not have a price tag. The gift of time. The gift of understanding. The gift of reaching out to someone and mirroring to them how they shine. I received the latter from my dear friend, Cherie Buckner-Webb, recently in a phone call. In this episode, Nicole Ellis shares the gift of experiences and health.
Nicole is a vegan food travel vlogger and consultant! As a travel vlogger, one of her goals is to cross all 50 states off of her "been to" list. With only one state to go (Alaska), she will be accomplishing that goal soon enough. However, Nicole had an even loftier goal. To give herself the gift of health. She has done that and in return, has gifted others by teaching them how to be healthier as well without sacrificing flavor.

In Episode #24, I got to honor my mother in a conversation with Marisa Renee Lee about grief in loss. It's only fitting with National Play with Dad Day here that I share some thoughts about my amazing father with you as well. I don't speak about my father often on this podcast but he has definitely shaped me into the woman I am today.
Recently, I was asked "What is the value of a father"? THAT is a powerful question. Children's relationships with their fathers are just as important as relationships with their mother.
In this episode, I am speaking with Edward Kim. Edward has a passion to make the experience of work enjoyable! He is a leadership coach, team builder, business owner but his favorite moniker is "dad" to his son, Ernie. But his transition into fatherhood has not been an easy one. As anyone who has been around newborns knows, some days can be amazing. Then, there are those other days that no one speaks about. Well, Edward is speaking about both types of days!
I invite you to join our conversation as we discuss:

Soft Skills
Being in wellness
