Did you know that November is National Entrepreneurship Month? Being a business owner looks different for everyone, whether you’re a therapist scheduling back to back clients or a candle maker making the candles that leave our homes smelling incredible. In acknowledgment of all the dynamic Black women entrepreneurs in our community, we’ve prepared a series of conversations that provide insight into what it looks like to grow your business while also maintaining a healthy well-being.

This week, I’m joined by Bea Dixon, the founder of plant-based feminine care brand, The HoneyPot. Dixon is 1 of the first 40 women of color to raise one million in venture capital and has been featured in the Today Show, The New York Times, ELLE, ESSENCE and Forbes, to name a few. During our conversation, we discussed the importance of using your intuition when running a business, lessons Bea has learned from controversy, and what the future of the HoneyPot looks like post-acquisition.

About the Podcast

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

I’m excited to share the first in a series of conversations that we’ve recorded with Black women of several religious backgrounds. Today, we’ll be exploring the experiences of Black women in the Islamic faith. Joining me to share her experience as a Black woman Muslim is founder of the platform Every Black Muslim Girl, Khadeejah B. During our conversation we discussed what it means to be a Black Muslim woman, address the concerns around women’s agency under the Islamic faith, and explore what Islam teaches about mental health and well-being.

Get ready, because class is almost in session. Welcome to the TBG University podcast, tailored for the 20-something who’s packing for a new year on campus, thinking through their gap year, enrolling in a community college, grabbing their stoles for graduation, and everything in between.

The most exciting time of an undergraduate’s school year is almost here ya’ll, and no, we're not talking about Halloween or the end of midterms. It’s almost Homecoming Season! — a time for tailgates, parties, special performances, yard shows, and of course for post-grads, the chance to reconnect with all of your besties from undergrad. When it comes to Homecoming, there’s soooo much to talk about — whether it be the dos and don’ts of networking with alumni, the importance of staying safe when hopping from after party to after party, and even how to afford all of the events that are occurring.

AFFIRMATIONS

• Homecoming is meant to be fun! I can use this time to do things that uplift me without worrying about outside stressors.
• I embrace this opportunity to engage in activities that bring my joy and interact with people who nourish my spirit.
• I have the agency to tailor my homecoming experience according to my personal desires, even if that means skipping the events my friends are going to.
