Hey fam!

This week's featured guest is actor, producer, founder and filmmaker, Lakesha Lorene! She returns for her 2nd BCC podcast appearance (episode 23 if you’d like to hear the 1st interview) and headsup, this episode was originally recorded at the end of 2022, BUT soooo much of this conversation is TIMELESS and as always, GEMS were dropped that I know will be valuable to the inspired black artist/advocate IN NEED! 

Take a listen to the show, then check out some of Lakesha’s former and current work!

Hey BCC fam!

This week’s featured podcast guest is the one and only Willonius Hatcher! Willonius and I became "pandemic pals" in 2020 after our paths crossed in an online writing space for creators of color. We quickly connected over being insanely prolific (jk), but Will is a writer, comedian, author, former TEDx speaker, content creator, musician, and… just an all around badass, do-er, and self care/spirituality FREAK like me! So, I wanted to have a chat with him to uncover his origin story and that is exactly what I did! Take a listen to the ep then check out some of Will’s work:
