About this listen

Today, listeners will be taken through a powerful collection of moments that highlight what it truly means for Black women in advertising to reclaim their value, voice, and agency. From deciding to fund their own opportunities after being overlooked, to walking away from roles that only tolerated them, these reflections serve as bold reminders that choosing yourself is not just brave—it’s necessary. This episode captures the real, unfiltered truths about navigating burnout, self-advocacy, intuition, and career pivots. It dives into what it feels like to be underpaid, undervalued, and underestimated—and how to rise above it with clarity and conviction. Whether someone is in a season of transition, stuck at a crossroads, or finally ready to put themselves first, this episode reminds them that they don’t need permission to take up space. They already have the agency—they just have to own it.
