In this inspiring episode, Tanya and Jessica explore the ways Black women are rewriting narratives, breaking barriers, and building legacies across industries historically closed to them. From wine and spirits to the arts, sports, politics, and venture capital, they spotlight powerhouse figures like the McBride Sisters, Misty Copeland, Ryan Coogler, and Stacey Abrams. Along the way, they celebrate entrepreneurial spirit, political leadership, and creative excellence, while highlighting the importance of supporting Black-owned businesses and leaders shaping a new future. Plus, hear updates on Beyoncé concert excitement, Tina’s health journey and book tour, and a candid conversation about the ongoing challenges — and triumphs — Black women face at every stage of success.     Episode Breakdown:00:00 – Welcome00:45 – Beyoncé Buzz and Concert Plans02:43 – Tina’s Book Tour & Health Updates08:03 – Reframing Stereotypes and Celebrating Empowerment10:57 – Shattering Ceilings in Gymnastics and the Arts15:14 – Spotlight on Black Excellence in Film and Spirits23:38 – Black-Owned Alcohol Brands: Innovation and Legacy23:46 – Representation in the Alcohol Industry25:18 – The Rise of Black Women in Politics27:59 – Leading Cities: Black Women Mayors29:01 – Kamala Harris and the Future of Leadership33:39 – Michelle Obama: An Enduring Inspiration36:40 – Facing Venture Capital's Gatekeepers42:11 – Why Early-Stage Funding Matters46:44 – Final Thoughts and Call to Action   ***Join our YouTube Channel: @PodcastGirlCallMe We invite you to become part of our community.
