In 2016, Traci DeForge created a podcast production company, Produce Your Podcast. This episode is all about women in podcasting. I'm unsurprised that this CEO's company delivers a full podcast service with a white glove. In addition, Traci is an enormous giver, always sharing tips and insight via Linkedin posts.

  Multiple Emmy-winning journalist Leyna Nguyen graciously shared her story with me last year. I want to re-introduce it because she not only made history as a news anchor in the high LA market but also chose to reinvent herself, leaving the news desks. This is a story worth listening to. #celebratetheone

Highlights:

4:59 The most challenging part of leaving the anchor desks.

9:02 How and why she got into podcasting?

12:23 How she reported the news for 26 years, keeping her sanity.

Author and educator Tsehi E. Farrell speak of her book, Woven Into The Fabric. In her words, from her zestful life, she says. This is a previous interview worth reintroducing as we continue to remember and celebrate Tsehi.

  What was it like to enchant Emperor Haile Selassie and become engaged to his grandson? Tsehi takes us on that journey and the overthrowing of the Emperor.

Woven Into The Fabric - Into The Very Fabric Of Our Lives God Has Spun Gold.

Boycotts have a way of getting big-time attention when it is organized and funded to go the distance.

Did you know that collard greens, yams, and pork chop dinners were a funding source for the  Montgomery Bus Boycott? Mrs. Georgia Gilmore was a cook, entrepreneur, and activist and worked knee-deep with the boycott as one that prepared these dinners.

I would have loved to have interviewed her; to sit and hear her speak would have been something!
