Love can be a tricky thing. One one hand it can make us feel like we're on cloud nine, and on the other hand it can make us want to run for the hills. No matter how love looks (or feels) one thing is constant, it's an amazing teacher. On this episode Maya gets real about all things L-O-V-E with photographer, storytelling and Founder of Halofro, Jada Harmon. Jada talks about the importance of highlighting and celebrating Black love and what she learned about love through the eyes of the couples she photographs. Later Maya and Jada talk about their best and worst dates, non-sexual intimate moments, and the what signs they avoid when it comes to dating.

To the people who define success by the lives they impact, and not the number on their banking app. To the people who lose sleep because their goals keep them up at night. This book is dedicated to the past, present, and future YOU.” Malcom X Bowser returns to the show to talk about his first book "Urban Xcellence." Malcom discusses the challenges of being a newly published author and the positive impact community and family support has on the process.

According to a 2013 Neilson study, African-Americans currently hold a buying power of $1 trillion, a number that has grown since this study. Black women, in particular, spend an estimated $7.5 billion annually on beauty products, shelling out 80% more on cosmetics and twice as much on skin care as their non-Black counterparts. It’s safe to say we Black women LOVE beauty. The problem? The beauty industry doesn’t always love us back. On the first episode of 2020, Maya sits down with BASE BUTTER founder, She'Neil Johnson, to talk about the transition from climbing the corporate ladder to being her own boss, the importance of knowing your skin as a Black woman, and how she's impacting the next generation of girlbosses.

Happy Halloween my little pumpkins! In honor of the spookiest time of year (and my 25th birthday) I traveled to my favorite city in the world, New Orleans. Not only did I enjoy endless bowls of delicious gumbo and soul moving live music, I had a chance to visit City Park. Serving as New Orleans' largest outdoor attraction since 1854, City Park is one of the oldest parks in the country. With its iconic oak trees and attractions for all ages, this 1,300 acre green space brings in millions of visitors each year...some more lively than others. I had the honor of sitting down with City Park employees Amanda Frentz, Director of Public Relations and Waymon Morris, Director of Recreational Services to learn more about the park's history and a few of New Orleans' best spots for food and fun. A big thank you to Amanda and Waymon for their time and incredible knowledge! Listen now...if you dare.
