Resetting is Complicated

Resetting is Complicated for sure but is ever needed when you’re journeying through life. The road to destiny is bumpy at times and sometimes we find ourselves lulling in a space of complacency instead of moving forward at the level we should be operating at, so let’s take this July to reset! Segment 1: What’s Happening Now We still have kids detained in cages and tent cities here in America. Refugee children are representing themselves in U.S. immigration courts. The government has no idea what parent goes with what child and are doing DNA tests now to fulfill a court-order of re-uniting parents with children (because we needed a lawsuit to ensure they’d do it in a timely manner *slow blink*). Yes, I’m still talking about the refugee crisis and detained kids, I won’t stop until we change course and treat people with the basic human decency that their humanity deserves. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shocked the establishment in a NY primary where she beat incumbent Representative Joe Crowley landing herself a place as the Democratic candidate for his U.S. House seat. Gone, girl! Make sure y’all vote and check to make sure you’re registered because they can purge voter rolls… Oh and Essence Fest is happening! Segment 2: Self-Care It’s time to RESET! I launched my own personal 22-Day Reset on July 3rd and I realized, “hey, why wouldn’t some of my BCPod listeners wouldn’t want to join in?” So, join me! You can start yours whenever you like, but nothing like the present right? I’m offering 6 focus areas as we journey on this reset to get to where we should be. Reclaim your mornings. Get back fit. Let food fuel you. Focus on your future. Evaluate your circle. Spiritually Reconnect. Segment 3: Black Excellence In this episode, I want to spotlight a wonderful woman in the Venture Capitalist industry who is making waves by investing in underrepresented communities, Arlan Hamilton, CEO and founding partner of Backstage Capital. Her and her team are doing something so many aren’t doing right now, investing in women, people of color, and people in the LGBTQ community. She recently announced a new $36M fund her team has launched that will be used to solely invest in black women startups and entrepreneurs. She’s truly a woman who is pulling in others who are ready to take their seat at the table.
