Unlocking the Club

For those who do not know, this podcast is a love letter to my mother, Alice Faye Taylor.

When this episode drops, it will be one year and one day since my mother has passed. Being a private person, it was hard to share my grief about her passing. However, I also think it is important. Black women are told to always be strong. Generationally, we have been taught to perform even when we are experiencing profound turmoil. As I honor my mother in this conversation, I invite my friend Beverly Oden to speak with me about her experiences with grief and loss. You may recognize Beverly's voice as she has been on the podcast two other times sharing her wisdom. If you haven't had an opportunity to listen, you can find them here: Unlocking Your Authentic Voice with Beverly Oden and Unlocking Sisterhood & Entrepreneurship with Beverly Oden and Mia Jackson .

I am also inviting another person who has helped me through this experience, Marisa Renee Lee. After losing her mother, a cousin and a much wanted pregnancy, Marisa was in the throws of grief. With her catastrophic loses, Marisa chose to channel her experiences into a book. In Grief is Love Marisa reveals that healing does not mean moving on after losing a loved one. Healing means learning to acknowledge and create space for your grief. Please take a moment to honor Marisa's mother, Lisa, her cousin and her baby.

Take Care. Pray Every day.

I invite you to join our conversation as we discuss:

• God winks

• Celebration of Life

• Routine

• Pandemic Loss

• Truth of Grief

• Showing up

• Redefining strength

• Complicated Grief

• Grief support

• Living with loss

This life's journey is not done alone. The people that we spend time with, help us evolve into the humans we are today. No one shares that feeling of community more eloquently than Felicia Hall Allen. From her grandparents on, she comes from a line of women who believe in elevating others and dreams. They did that (and more) for Felicia. She carries that energy, those prayers and that love with her into everything that she does.

With the ability to speak words and then own them, she has a way of making dreams come true. From being a former manager for Nike's Women's Basketball Sports Marketing Department to owning her own company that provides sports management, team building, motivational speaking and consulting and training, Felicia owns each space she finds herself in!

Have you ever thought about YOUR superpower? What makes you acutely different and special? If you can't identify a superpower, I invite you to ask your friends, family, colleagues what is one amazing thing about you. Did the majority of the people polled say they appreciate how you make them feel seen? Did they say your ability to make them laugh? Did they say your ability to fold love into your food? Whatever the mass consensus is, THAT is your superpower! For the rest of the day, honor that superpower and share with everyone you meet, why you're a super s/hero.

In this episode, I am so excited to speak with Lea B. Olsen. Lea B.'s superpower is mentorship, leadership, and collaboration. She is able to help women see the greatness within themselves. In her own words "leaders inspire teams to deliver results." Lea B. is asking every one she encounters to not only play to win but to RETHINK the win.

In growing older, there are so many beautiful experiences to enjoy and explore. Vacations. Job Opportunities. Creating your own family. But something that is not discussed is how our relationships with immediate family transitions. In lieu of your mother being a parental figure, she begins to become a friend. Instead of bickering with your sibling for your parents attention, you start considering them a peer. With the passing of time, there is a dawning that these relationships should be revered as we watch our loved ones age, get sick and leave their earthly bodies. Every moment with them is precious and every day with them is treasured.

In this episode, I am joined by Jasmine Stringer who knows all about seizing the day. A speaker, lifestyle expert, strategist and influencer, Jasmine's specialty is teaching people to live each and every day to the fullest especially with your loved ones around you.

There is so much power in knowing our history and seeing others, who have come before you, unlock new pathways. In her recent speech at the unveiling of Former President Barack Obama and Former First Lady Michelle Obama's White House portraits, Michelle Obama eloquently discussed why moments like that are important for anyone who may be doubting themselves. She discusses how her own story has shaped by her experience as a Black woman, and how sharing her story can help others to see themselves in a place where they can be successful. This week's guest Anucha Browne's dynamic story has shaped her in many powerful ways while providing the fortitude and resolve to find ways to shift power.

In this episode, Anucha Browne joins me for a very honest conversation about her journey as an executive with deep cross-sector experience and a legacy in women's college sports. She talks about her current role as Chief Impact Officer at Tides, where she is responsible for leading the execution and implementation of Tides' strategic initiatives. She talks about the organization's recent focus on shifting and strengthening the power of BIPOC leaders, organizations, and communities. Browne credits the passage of Title IX for giving her the opportunity to play basketball at Northwestern University, which served as a catalyst to gaining valuable leadership skills that she continues to leverage in her efforts to shift power.

I invite you to join our conversation as we discuss:

• Michelle Obama
• UNICEF USA
• NCAA
• Title IX
• BIPOC Leaders
• New York Knicks
• Janice Evans Page
• Code Switching
• Racial Reckoning
• Radical Rest

• Roe vs. Wade

For members of historically marginalized communities, there often is an incredible amount of pressure on those who are identified as possessing a lot of potential. They've done all of the right things, worked hard in school, earned multiple degrees and fulfilled a dream by securing a prestigious job perhaps as a doctor, lawyer or engineer. Yet, whose dream are they fulfilling? Knowing that so few of their peers would have an opportunity like this, do they stay in that job because of the sense of guilt they feel? In this episode, I had a riveting conversation with LaNora Williams-Clark, a creative entrepreneur who became a lawyer because a teacher planted the seed during her youth. While thriving at her law firm, she wasn't happy and it literally took a cataclysmic event to convince her to walk away and seek clarity about her true passion which led her to unlocking her inner muse.   Under the guidance of her late mentor and Constitutional Law professor, “The Father of Critical Race Theory” Derrick Bell, LaNora left the practice of law to start Muse Creative Arts Agency LLC where she supports the efforts of various writers and creators using film and theatre to tell important stories. She also has her own production company, MCa2 Productions, where she published her first book “Becoming The Muse” and is currently working on a children’s book series for adults based on the animated character “Lioness Muse.”     I invite you to join our conversation as LaNora and I discuss:
