Episode 53: How To Have The Audacity To Live The Life You’ve Always Wanted with Myra Lucretia Taylor
There’s a certain level of audacity that Black women are not always taught to have. We don’t have the audacity of a rich white man because we have been taught to be cautious, and for good reason! But we also have dreams, and those dreams could be realized if we had a little bit more audacity and a little bit of backup.
Myra Lucretia Taylor is an American actress and singer. She received a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her performance as Gran Georgeanna in the Broadway musical Tina (2019). She also received a Drama Desk Award, as well as an Outer Critics Circle Award and a Lucille Lortel Award nomination during her career.
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to have the audacity to live the life you’ve always wanted. Myra didn’t have any actors in her family, but still, she knew she wanted to be an actress. As a young Black girl, that’s not always the path our parents want for us. But Myra’s mother never doubted her talents, and confidence gave Myra the audacity she needed to become the Tony-nominated actress and singer she is today.
Tune in to hear more of Myra’s lessons in audacity and how she reaches for her dreams every single day.

Episode 52: How to Honor Your Inner Pop Star with Ntjam Rosie
Honoring your inner pop star is about honoring your truest self. It’s about being honest with yourself and not letting anyone hold you back from your idea of stardom. Whether you’re in the music industry or not, your inner pop star wants to see you shine. And in this week’s episode, we’re going to explore what that means from an actual, real-life pop star.
Ntjam Rosie, born on March 18, 1983, in Cameroon, is a singer and songwriter who has earned her place in the international music and theater world. She grew up in the Netherlands, blending her West African roots with Western musical styles such as jazz, soul, pop, and R&B. Her creative versatility and unmistakable sound have made her one of the most remarkable artists in the Netherlands. Ntjam Rosie’s music is a celebration of her dual identity: African roots and European influences. Her ability to transcend genres and tell her stories with integrity and passion makes her an inspiration to a wide audience.
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to honor your inner pop star with Ntjam Rosie. Ntjam and I ran in the same circles in careers in the Netherlands, but surprisingly, we never met each other! Now that we’ve been formally introduced through the pod, we’re diving into how she became the star that she is today. Ntjam’s life was rarely easy, and her career wasn’t linear. But she knew herself, and she knew she was meant to be a star, and that’s all that mattered.
Tune in to hear how Ntjam became a genre-defying pop star and what it was like growing up as a Black girl in the Netherlands.

Episode 51: How Alisa is Telling Groundbreaking Black Stories with an Incredible BiPOC Production Company with Alisa Payne
Storytelling is an incredibly important job, especially for Black people living in predominantly white countries. We not only need to be able to see ourselves in the media, but we also need to defend ourselves. The racist structural systems that were set up centuries before us do not get taken down unless we break them down. That is what storytelling, like filmmaking, has done for so many people, and today, we’re going to speak to the woman who has made groundbreaking films for us all to enjoy and be educated about.
Alisa Payne has built a +25-year production career grounded in telling stories about Black and brown communities. From the Emmy-nominated STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING to the Emmy-nominated Disney+ series HARLEM ICE, Alisa has consistently championed work that centers marginalized voices. Her latest film, THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR, premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and became a number one hit on Netflix, defying industry assumptions.
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how Alisa is telling groundbreaking stories with an incredible BiPOC production company. After years of experience working behind the scenes of Queen Latifa’s talk show and many others, she went into business with a friend of hers, and the rest is history. Together, they have produced THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR and THE DEVIL IS BUSY. All in the name of seeking justice for Black people in America and spreading the word so that we can move forward.
Tune in to hear her career story and how she stays motivated during such uncertain times
