Rich Black Woman | Engaging, Empowering, and Elevating Black Women for Success

What if leadership didn’t require you to shrink, shift, or sacrifice who you are?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Latisha Chisholm — researcher, social worker, and founder of Subversive Leader — to explore a bold reimagining of leadership development.

Through her groundbreaking work at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Chisholm developed Subversive Leadership: a framework rooted in disrupting cultural reproduction and empowering individuals to lead with authenticity, agency, and intention.

We unpack how traditional leadership models — despite being part of a multi-billion-dollar industry — often exclude the very people who could most benefit from them. From cost barriers to cultural misalignment, the system has long prioritized conformity over individuality.

That’s where Subversive Leader comes in.

Dr. Chisholm shares how her AI-powered platform, featuring "Zmara," an AI intelligent leadership coach, is designed to democratize access to leadership development. By centering lived experience, context, and community, the platform offers a radically different approach — one that meets people where they are and helps them grow without losing themselves.

This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt like leadership required them to become someone else — and is ready to challenge that narrative.

-The origin and meaning of Subversive Leadership

-What it means to disrupt cultural reproduction

-Why traditional leadership development models fall short

-The positive role of AI - artificial intelligence in expanding access to professional development coaching that was once beyond reach

-How to develop your leadership identity without losing authenticity

Dr. Latisha Chisholm is the founder of Subversive Leader and the creator of the Subversive Leadership framework, developed through her doctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania. Her work sits at the intersection of leadership, equity, and innovation, with a focus on expanding access to transformative leadership development.

In this episode we talk to Nikki Tucker, a financial counselor and strategist and the Founder of The FIIRM Approach. She’s on a mission to demystify love, marriage and the D word (divorce) when it comes to money honey.  In the event of the D Word, many women get the short end of the stick, letting what they don’t know hurt them.  Don’t be that girl, sis.  Find out what you don’t know and make sure you understand your options.  Who knew that financial literacy also involved pre-nups and understanding your spouse’s money mindset, heartset and actions could help foster a healthy, lasting love.  Tune into learn more about how to “money right” in love and marriage so you don’t get left by the horse and carriage.

When We Fight!  We Win! It’s Not Just a Presidential Slogan, It’s a Motto for Black Women in 2024 and Beyond.

Tune in to this dynamic conversation with Monique Pearson, international motivational speaker, mindset coach, military strategist, veteran and travel expert and travelpreneur.  We discuss critical leadership skills that we can learn from Madame Vice President, Soon-To-Be-President Kamala Harris.  Yes, we said it.  And we are standing on business. This year started off with a bang, and many attacks on Black women in high places of leadership from the rise and fall of Dr. Claudine Gray to the continuous active erosion of fundamental civil rights progress, we quickly saw VP Kamala Harris reignite the Hope of America with her unique background that helped her make an unlikely political ascension from District Attorney to now just a heartbeat away from the most powerful position in the world.  Against all odds, we discuss the unique power and preparation that we can all harness to rise in our own spheres of influence and to be our authentic selves.  Ladies, it’s time to “Pop Out” and show the world who you have always been in this pulsating conversation to help you walk in who you are, who you were called to be, and who you are becoming.  You betta walk!

Starlet Taraji P. Henson set it off at the end of last year with her honest and authentic breakdown of how she continues to be undervalued and underpaid in Hollywood; even as an A-list actress in the prime of her career. Why did this resonate so strongly with Black women across every industry from Hollywood to high-rise buildings? If you're a Black woman in the workplace you can relate to finding out folks with less experience, education and acumen are making wayyyy more than you for the same gig. 

Say whaaattt??? 

So how do we not have a pity party but be uplifted and empowered and how do we secure the bag despite the haters?

It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

In this intimate conversation we discuss intimate partner violence, also known as domestic violence. “DV” or “IPV” affects or has affected nearly 45% of all Black women.  We don’t deserve that.  You don’t deserve that.  Nor does your loved one.  So how can you help someone you suspect may be experiencing emotional or physical abuse?  How can you yourself muster the courage to leave an unsafe environment with hope for your future that YOU can survive and thrive after IPV?  My dear friend and accomplished author Danne Smith Mathis, a thriver and survivor shares her own harrowing testimony of overcoming and healing.  Tune in to this most important conversation.  If you have been blessed not to experience IPV, listen to find out how you might help when your path crosses a sister in need.  We are our Sisters’ Keeper.

This season we explore the profound question posited by the No. 1 Viral Car Salesman Social Media Star, Mr. Durrell Smylie -- Where The Money $$$ Reside?...in this episode we talk about the lesser known home ownership program by the USDA or the United States Department of Agriculture.  And no, you don't have to be a farmer and wear overalls to qualify for this 100% percent financed low-interest loan program that is available for 97% of the nation considered to be "rural."  But don't think you have to live all the way in the boon docks.  You might just be surprised to find out many suburbs are considered "rural."  Check out the website: https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-servicesto explore these home ownership programs that require no money down, and 1 % interest backed by the mighty U.S. government.  Who knew, that this money resided in small town America.  We know the deal.
