In this powerful and heartfelt episode, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in on an intimate conversation between two long-time friends. Dr. Ebony Stone and Wendy Batiste Johnson—owner of Jagger Juliet and founder of United Black Mothers of America—open up about the realities of balancing marriage, motherhood, community, corporate life, and entrepreneurship.
Wendy takes us through her powerful journey of self-discovery, sharing the highs, the heartbreaks, and the lessons learned along the way. Together, we talk about:
✨ What it was really like trying to secure funding for her business venture
✨ The emotions and resilience behind shutting down her first company
✨ Why she chose to step back into corporate after life as an entrepreneur
✨ How her nonprofit was birthed (celebrating its 5-year anniversary!)
✨ What inspired her to jump back into entrepreneurship with fresh vision
This conversation will make you smile, laugh, nod your head in recognition—and maybe even shed a tear. It’s an honest reminder that giving yourself permission to just be is sometimes the boldest move of all.
