Last week, Amazon dropped the highly-anticipated documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Own Words, directed by Nneka Onuorah. It’s no secret how much we love Megan over here, and this documentary brilliantly showcases the rise of one of the most charismatic and lovable rappers in the game, while also allowing Megan to be vulnerable in discussions of her mental health after several tragedies. 

Today I'm joined by the director, Nneka, to learn more about how she approached the documentary. During our conversation she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was created, while also discussing what she hopes you’ll take away from the film, especially when it comes to ideas like grief and wellness in the Black community.

Did you know that November is National Entrepreneurship Month? Being a business owner looks different for everyone, whether you’re a therapist scheduling back to back clients or a candle maker making the candles that leave our homes smelling incredible. In acknowledgment of all the dynamic Black women entrepreneurs in our community, we’ve prepared a series of conversations that provide insight into what it looks like to grow your business while also maintaining a healthy well-being.

This week, I’m joined by Bea Dixon, the founder of plant-based feminine care brand, The HoneyPot. Dixon is 1 of the first 40 women of color to raise one million in venture capital and has been featured in the Today Show, The New York Times, ELLE, ESSENCE and Forbes, to name a few. During our conversation, we discussed the importance of using your intuition when running a business, lessons Bea has learned from controversy, and what the future of the HoneyPot looks like post-acquisition.
