Episode 11: "I Dare You to Say YES."
In this episode of Ruby's Roundtable Podcast and Show, Ruby dives deep into the power of saying "yes" when opportunities knock—even when you're scared, uncomfortable, or unsure. After leaving her TV news career to pursue her dreams as a singer and clothing line designer, Ruby shares the story of how she took a last-minute chance to perform one of her original songs at the inaugural Black College Invitational Championship in Charlotte, NC.
Ruby opens up about the nerves, the challenges, and the people who helped her along the way. Reflecting on this pivotal moment, she reveals the lessons she learned, how saying yes changed the trajectory of her journey, and the importance of embracing discomfort when chasing your dreams. For anyone who's been hesitant to take that leap of faith or wondering if they're capable of making it on their own—this one's for you. Ruby’s story is a reminder that when the opportunity comes, the answer is simple: say YES.
