Unapologetically Melanated

Hey Melanated Girlies! We Are Back With Another Episode. This episode is a little different from our normal segments. This week's episode is called “Girl Don’t Stress, Decompress”. Today we are reflecting on our 1st quarter of 2023. We are getting transparent about our wins, losses, and lessons learned so far. Life can get busy! We love to stay book’d and busy, without the stress. So this episode is dedicated to all the girlies out here who are in need of a moment to decompress.
