18. Real Life Princess Diaries with Princess Keisha

When I was a little girl, I didn’t have a voice telling me to believe in my beauty and my own Black girl magic. Raising my own daughter, I not only instill those beliefs in her, I also surround her with examples of beautiful, powerful black women so that she never questions her own power.Today, I’m welcoming my girlfriend Keisha AKA Princess Keisha, a mama, a model, a hair influencer, and a public speaker… who just so happened to have fallen in love and married a Nigerian prince.Tune in and listen to episode eighteen of Mamaste with Tanika Ray.
