Formerly More Than a Mother and Through The S4L Lens, Through Her Lens is where real stories of love, growth, and comebacks take center stage.

Who is Neeta B—really? Before the comeback, before the brand deals, before the community…There was LaWann. There was More Than a Mother. There was a woman rediscovering her voice while raising a family, building a career, and navigating identity in real time. This Season 11 premiere of Through Her Lens w/ Neeta B is the bridge between where I started and who I’ve become. From launching a motherhood podcast as a teen mom turned motivator… To experimenting with lifestyle content under WannMo’s World… To creating Shannell4Life—a fan-first page that blossomed into a cultural hub of love, legacy, and storytelling… Every platform taught me something. Every pivot had purpose. And every piece of this journey has led to right now. In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why More Than a Mother had to end How a fan page turned into a movement that reached millions The truth behind my identity shift from LaWann to Neeta B What I’m reclaiming in this season of my life and brand Why Through Her Lens isn’t just a podcast—it’s a comeback, a calling, and a reclamation Whether you’ve been with me from day one or just hit “play” for the first time—you’re in the right place. This episode is a full-circle moment and a bold new beginning. 🎧 Let’s bridge the story, together.  Follow + connect: Instagram & Threads: @HerLensPod.  @itsNeetaB TikTok: @ItsNeetaB Website: itsNeetaB.com #ThroughHerLens #NeetaB #PodcastForWomen #BlackWomenPodcasts #DigitalStorytelling #Reinvention #MotherhoodToMedia #ComebackEra #LifeAfterMotherhood #StorytellingPodcast
