S11 E5: Live a Colorful Life with Nikita Burks-Hale

WinHers United the podcast is a women empowerment platform that is based on four pillars: business, mindset, personal development, and self-care. At WinHers United we believe these four pillars are necessary to be a successful entrepreneur. During each season, bi-weekly an ah-mazing Woman of Color entrepreneur is interviewed, and tells us more about her business, mindset, personal development, and self-care journey.

Season 11, Episode 5 features Nikita Burks-Hale - Chief Coloring Officer and Founder of Headphones and Crayons. During this episode entitled "Live a Colorful Life", Nikita shares her story of suffering from postpartum depression and leaving behind a six figure business to launch her company Headphone and Crayons. Nikita encourages us to find and define color in everything that we do. This episode is truly a testament to living a colorful life!
