This week on Brown Ambition, Mandi sits down with powerhouse lawyer, author, and TV host Eboni K. Williamsfor an inspiring and transparent conversation about life, career, and motherhood.

Eboni opens up about her journey to becoming a solo mom by choice, navigating a 45-hour labor, and the support system that helped her through postpartum. She also shares hard truths about the maternal health crisis for Black women, the realities of egg freezing and fertility treatments, and why she named her daughter Liberty.

On the career side, Eboni breaks down how she runs her business like a CEO, why she’ll never take a W-2 job again, and how she leverages visibility from projects like The Real Housewives of New York to fuel her purpose-driven work.
