"Don’t Match Their Energy" Have you ever encountered someone who did something so hurtful that your initial reaction was to retaliate? Yet, as anger welled up within you, did you ever feel like you were losing sight of your true self? It wasn’t until recently that I realized I don’t have to reciprocate energy I don’t admire. It’s effortless for someone to disrupt a room’s harmony with their negative energy. It’s astonishing how their negativity can rebound and affect those around them, even when we’re simply minding our own business. Tony Robbins once [...]

Tawana Bain & Amelia Frazier Living Sisterhood Out Loud Written by Christine Fellingham & Tawana Bain Anyone who knows me– even just a little bit– knows this to be true: “Sisterhood” is not just a word for me.

There’s no age, race, sexual persuasion that defines these women. It’s authenticity and chemistry. My sisters are [...]

It’s authentically what we’re all about, and it never leaves my mind or my spirit.

Escaping the Entitlement Trap Written by Tawana Bain This month, we will explore dealing with the entitled.

Do we stand by and agonize without uttering a word? Or do we challenge [...]

‘Who Are You Uninterrupted?’ Written by Tawana Bain The other day, I saw a video that stopped me in my tracks and really made me think. It was from entrepreneur, author, public speaker, and podcast host Felecia Hatcher, who, I’m happy to say, was a guest speaker at the Black Girl Magic brunch during Derby Diversity Week in May. Someone had asked her, “Who are you uninterrupted?” Her response was, “I’ve worked for some of the biggest companies in the world, and I’ve never heard that question. But moreover, I could not answer it when [...]
