Welcome to the last episode of Season 1 for Sis, Please! If you haven’t listened to all the episodes, make sure to check them out. And if you’ve been a loyal listener throughout the season, go back and listen again. There are sure to be some gems you missed.   In this season finale episode, we interview each other. We ask each other questions like whether you’d choose Big D*ck Energy over financial security and what conversation we’d love to have with our future self. Plus, we share our most embarrassing moments (hint: they involve a wig and marijuana edibles).  To learn the answers, join us as we discuss: <ul class="ProsemirrorEditor-list"> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> Market Adjustments </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> Refinancing </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> Hungover </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> Celebrations </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> Edibles </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> Building Generational Wealth </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> BDE </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> Micro P*nis </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.youtube.com/@_Edu-Take">Edu-Take YouTube Channel</a> </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> Abbott Elementary </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> Wig incidents </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> The Leadership Compass </li> <li class="ProsemirrorEditor-listItem" data-list-indent="1" data-list-type="bulleted"> Nelson Mandela </li> </ul> Honorable Mentions <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.healthline.com/health/how-long-do-edibles-take-to-kick-in"> How Long Do Edibles Take to Kick In?</a> <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://legacy-wealth.com/how-to-continue-a-legacy-with-an-inheritance/"> How To Continue A Legacy With An Inheritance</a> <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2023-05-04/would-you-date-a-bus-driver-debate-eboni-k-williams-iyanla-vanzant-black-women-standards"> ‘Would you date a bus driver?’ debate roils social media, and Eboni K.

Do You Gotta Have Faith?

Academy-Award winning actress Regina King had this to say about her 20s: “I feel like I’m so much more interesting now, as a soon-to-be-50-year-old woman, than I was at 25. I can bring so much more to the table. You may not have the stamina that you had at 25, but what you know now? So much better.”   King is right. In your 20s, you’re just beginning to figure things out. This decade of life is about making stupid mistakes — but not to the point where you never recover from them.

When you think of the term Black Excellence, what comes to mind? Prestige. Class. The Best of the Best. These are the words that are usually assigned to people who exude Black Excellence. People like the Obamas, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Oprah. But what if Black Excellence is something to strive for AND harmful to the community?
