In this solo episode of the Black Canadian Creators Podcast, host Sherley introduces herself and shares a powerful and personal message for creators, dreamers, and entrepreneurs: you don’t need a blueprint—just a deep why, your people, and the courage to start where you are.
Sherley reflects share who she is, a content creator you should know and on how the Black Canadian Creators platform began: no logo, no strategy, no budget—but a real need for community and visibility. From a humble Facebook group to a multi-platform movement, she proves that momentum beats perfection and consistency beats complexity.
This episode is a heartfelt nudge for anyone holding back on launching their blog, podcast, app, book, or brand. If you’re waiting for permission, this is it. Start now. Start small. Start scrappy.y.
Tune in for:
✅ A behind-the-scenes look at how Black Canadian Creators began
✅ Why perfection is the enemy of momentum
✅ What happens when you build before you’re “ready”
✅ A call to creators to build out loud and share the journey
Creator’s Note:
“I didn’t have a five-year plan. I didn’t even have a logo. But I had a gut feeling that if I needed this space, someone else needed it too.”
This episode is a nudge, a permission slip, and a challenge. Whether it’s a blog, a podcast, a newsletter, an app—or just the start of a dream—start where you are. Let people witness your growth. You don’t need to be ready. You just need to be real.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
