What truly makes a business "black" beyond its ownership? Join me on this episode of Stay Rich in Spirit as I unpack this intriguing question, reflecting on my recent journey through London and Paris with my little sister, and pivotal professional milestones. From the breathtaking architecture and vibrant shopping scenes abroad to the rewarding yet challenging teaching experience at Buista University’s Bulldog Scholars Academy, this episode is packed with life-changing experiences. I also share the excitement of passing my comprehensive exams and diving into my dissertation proposal, which delves deep into black-owned businesses and their cultural representations.

Embark on a transformative weekend journey with me, filled with presentations at Top Golf that push the boundaries of our circles of influence, and a grueling 10K run that tested both physical and mental limits. The discussions on accountability, mindful breathing, and genuine connections over sumptuous meals will leave you inspired. Reflecting on the power of fasting for mental, physical, and spiritual growth, this episode is a celebration of personal development, community support, and aligning our actions with the faith others place in us. Tune in for a dose of motivation and a renewed sense of purpose.
