Today's episode is a celebration of my dear friend Lolita Walker's podcast's first anniversary. I enjoyed joining the other three gentlemen, Mervin Bourne, Lamar Robinson, and Allan Boomer. We had a vulnerable, open, and sincere conversation about parenting, connections, and friendship.
Lolita E. Walker is a Keynote Speaker, Certified Life, Leadership & Executive Coach. She helps women & teams to shift to action. Lolita is also the Host of "Coaching, Cocktails, & Conversations Podcast." She graciously conducted this conversation and dove deep into sensitive topics like the need for Black people to reconstruct their own narrative in opposition to the negative image portrayed in the media, movies, and even what comes out the mouths of other Black people.
Throughout the interview, we also talked about transitioning from one career to another, how important it is to be supported by people around us, the digital version of "the village talk" we live in, raising a Black son as a single mother, and more.
