In this inspiring episode, Tanya and Jessica explore the ways Black women are rewriting narratives, breaking barriers, and building legacies across industries historically closed to them. From wine and spirits to the arts, sports, politics, and venture capital, they spotlight powerhouse figures like the McBride Sisters, Misty Copeland, Ryan Coogler, and Stacey Abrams.
Along the way, they celebrate entrepreneurial spirit, political leadership, and creative excellence, while highlighting the importance of supporting Black-owned businesses and leaders shaping a new future. Plus, hear updates on Beyoncé concert excitement, Tina’s health journey and book tour, and a candid conversation about the ongoing challenges — and triumphs — Black women face at every stage of success.
