This Podcast is all about uplifting and encouraging black women as far as letting them know that they are enough. That black women are beautiful regardless of flaws, imperfections and mistakes that we made in our lives. But unfortunately there are a lot of black men and pick me chicks that are out here saying that black women that are independent, single mothers, average, and unattractive women are not good enough to be with high value black men. Well in this Podcast I'm going to pretty much disagree with everything that they're saying. There's nothing wrong with being an independent, dominant, sophisticated, self sufficient, classy, grown, elegant, stylish, and mature woman. And there's nothing wrong with being a single mother, average, or unattractive woman. Nor is there anything wrong with being celibate, practicing abstinence, or being a virgin. This Podcast is all about contradicting all of the pick me chicks and the men in the Manosphere on social media telling black women that

In this episode, I had a conversation with Jobert E. Abueva about The Janus Plan: Beating the Procrastination Trap. We spoke about procrastination traps that keep people from reaching their goals, moving on from negative situations, overcoming low self-esteem, self-love, self-respect, self-worth, self-value, self-confidence, and believing in yourself when no one else does, and lowering yourselves to build other people up. When many people think about procrastination, they think about people who are lazy and have no inspiration. He breaks down the Janus Plan when it comes to beating the procrastination traps that are keeping you from reaching your goals and the path, purpose, and journey that you are meant to be on. He spoke on mindful cleansing & global rituals when it comes to detoxing the mind from the past and things that are keeping you stagnant, stuff, and procrastination. We spoke on why people's New Year's resolutions are broken by February. How to go about overcoming fear and insecurities that keep you procrastinating and quitting? How can our relationship with our parents be the cause of not doing the things that you can actually do, due to making you feel less than what you are, and breaking your self-esteem and self-worth? A little about Jobert E. Abueva: he is an MBA, TEDx speaker ("Beyond Resolutions: The Art of Beginning with Intention"), and award-winning author whose work has appeared in The New York Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Jobert is warm, articulate, and deeply relatable. Instead, he developed a flexible, 6-step framework—inspired by Janus, the two-faced Roman god of thresholds and transitions—to help people reflect on the past, clear mental and physical clutter, and build sustainable life momentum without punitive pressure.This was a great conversation, and hopefully there will be a second conversation coming soon.

In this episode, I had a great conversation with Cherie Hoeger about having it all when it comes to being a wife, having children, and a successful business. Many women are told that they can't have it all and have to lower themselves due to some men being insecure about them making more money than their husbands. She created period underwear and period cups. She tells her story about being married and having six children, and how one day she decided to become the Co-founder and CEO of the company Saalt, helping women from her and her husband's countries who don't have feminine products to have those products. She talks about how her husband has become her biggest supporter and co-founder of the company. And how they work together as a team to build a business and raise their children. What she instills in her daughters when it comes to following their dreams and goals. Why should women build something of their own despite being married? We also spoke on why misinformation, not preference, keeps women from switching to reusable period care. How social impact works as a behavioral signal, not just a marketing story? Work-life integration as a mother of six running a mission-driven brand. A little about Cherie Hoeger: she is a women-owned B Corp building reusable period care products with a 1% social give-back mission to end period poverty. Since 2018, we've donated over 160,000 period products across 56 countries and funded more than 1.3 million days of school for girls. If you want to reach her, you can reach her at https://saalt.com/, and cherie.hoeger@saalt.com.

In this episode, I’ve discussed who are wolves in sheep‘s clothing, boy and girl who cried wolf, sirens, vampires, and snakes when it comes to the people who have caused chaos and destruction in your life negative way. I break down what each one of them are, and how each one impacts and affect your life in a negative manner to the point where you end up hitting rock, bottom, losing everything, depression, anxiety, abuse, neglect, pain, suffering, and trauma. Before you can heal and recover, you need to know about these particular characters. The reason why you need to know nobody’s characters is because it will determine who is the main ones that have caused you the most pain. We also talked about build a bears and build a dolls, seat, fillers, captain save a hoe, seat, fillers, and people pleasers, and who they are. These are people that are you when it comes to how you treat, due for, except and what you’re willing to do to make these people happy, and the things you do for them. This is important because everybody fits in one of these categories if not all when it comes to how you do and treat people that don’t deserve what you do and how you treat them. Hopefully you guys learn from this conversation. This is gonna be a very interesting season. I wonder which one you fit in when it comes to the different ones that I mentioned in this episode.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/african-melanin-queens--5161875/support.
In this episode, I had a pre-conversation with Ama K. Karikari about silence abuse, pain, and suffering when it comes to relationships, as far as family, romantic relationships, and friendships. She tells her story about what she experienced in her 15-year marriage and the silence abuse that she experienced during the marriage. We talked about the damage of silence when it comes to abuse, pain, and suffering from the people that you love. How can silence mean that you are allowing and giving permission for people to hurt, abuse, neglect, manipulate, and take advantage of you? How can silence be harmful to the point that it affects your self-esteem and how you see yourself? How did she overcome the silence abuse, and get out of the marriage? What was the breaking point that made her leave? How can silence be abusive, and no one think that it is abuse? A little about Ama: she is a TEDxGeorgeSchool speaker, author of Silenced to Soaring, transformational guide, attorney, and founder who helps women understand covert emotional harm and reconnect with their voice. Her perspective is shaped by work with women’s leadership, educational, and community audiences, along with studies at Harvard, Penn Law, and Wharton. It was a beautiful conversation that I wanted to share with my audience when it comes to overcoming adversity, pain, abuse, trauma, and suffering due to silence. The second part is coming soon. I hope you guys enjoy the conversation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/african-melanin-queens--5161875/support.
In this episode, I want to talk about African Melanin Queens when it comes to starting from the beginning when it comes to our history. When it comes to where our trauma, pain, suffering, being single mothers, assault, and trauma begin. I think that we need to go about talking about our healing and recovery from a whole different perspective. I think that we need to talk about the healing process and recovering from what we’ve been through from the very beginning from where it all started slavery. We need to talk about the history of black women when it comes to everything that we have been through when it comes to our African ancestors women. What they have suffered from during the time of slavery? How all of that has transition to a scarlet letter that black women have been wearing for very long time that we didn’t deserve? We also need to talk about the pain and suffering from not just light skin African decent people, but also dark skin African descent people. This process ain’t gonna be for the faint of parts, because so many people have allow men to define who they are as women. When women shouldn’t be defined by men, we should be defined to ourselves as women as far as who we are, how we dress, our success, as wives, and as mothers. So I hope these upcoming podcast episodes give you all some inspiration, as well as helping you through your healing and recovery as African descent women, regardless of where you are around the world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/african-melanin-queens--5161875/support.
In this episode, I talk about what’s been going on with me when it comes to losing my job, my father passed away, and all the things that I’ve been going through that is the reason why I haven’t been doing the podcast as of lately. Why I had to take a break to really sit down and reflect as far as what I was gonna do with this podcast. I’ll talk about the scarlet letter that is being a black woman. How is black women have to stop trying to be like everybody else, and be proud of the women that we are? Wow black women are always getting the short end of the stick when it comes to relationships, treatment and support? I was really trying to figure out what I was going to do when it came to the topics and things I was gonna talk about on this platform. But I decided that I’m going to use these Kountry Wayne skits as a way to incorporate certain topics on this podcast. I’m looking forward to incorporating this into my platform. And I really hope you guys enjoy the new direction that I’m gonna be going on when it comes this podcast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/african-melanin-queens--5161875/support.
In this eposide, I had a pre-conversation with Antonio Michael Downing about doing what you love vs what is expected. He talked about what his grandma taught him through reading and music. How instead of him doing what is expected when it come working a regular 9-5 job to writing books, music, and broadcasting. How so many people are not doing what we love due to doing what is expected. We talked about going against the grain and walking to the beat of your own drum. Why do we allow ourselves to be identify based on what other people think about, vs how we see ourselves. How through his journey of self discovery he found who is is and his identity? How the healing and recovery will lead you to who you really are, you purpose, journey, and path that you are meant to be on. A little about Antonio, he is Downing is an acclaimed author, broadcaster, and musician. His memoir Saga Boy was praised by Kiese Laymon as "singularly dazzling" and received critical acclaim from publications like Essence Magazine.

In this episode, I did a TIKTOK live about the Kountry Wayne skit as far as why these woment in these skits are beautiful women and yet act like unattractive women. There are a loot of people, whom will accept anything that men with money will do to them just because they have money, success, and poplular. We talked about the skits, give my thoughts on them. I wanted to discuss these skits from a healing, recovery, and addiction prespective. We talked about why we based people based on lthe external ooks, sex, money, properity, and success, versus the interal as far as character, mind, spirit, soul, trauma, past experinces, and who they are. How is it that men and women choose for these reason, and yet can't keep a man or woman due to it. How society standards are a walking contradiction when it comes to looks?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/african-melanin-queens--5161875/support.
