Almost every one of us has felt the uncomfortableness of being the “token” black person at some point in their lives. But when Laura Cathcart Robbins attended a well-known conference that attracts hundreds of people every year, she had no clue she would be the ONLY black woman at the 600+ person event. Her story became the subject of a viral Huffington Post article and the impetus for her podcast, The Only One in the Room. Today, she teaches us how “otherness” can lead to personal growth, and how vital finding community with your “tribe” is for your sense of security and belonging.To follow Laura on social media or find out more about her podcats, you can find her at: www.instagram.com/official_cathcartrobbinsLearn to transform your life with Justin’s book, Stay Woke: http://www.staywokegiveback.comTo get our motivational audio guides delivered directly to your inbox every week, visit: http://www.motivationforblackpeople.com/

We move around at a hundred million miles an hour all of the time. And sometimes, the only way the universe can get our attention is to force us into a sacred pause. And now the world is in a period of mandatory stillness.  Psychologist, speaker and professor, Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis has brilliantly dubbed this time a “divine opportunity” to take inventory over our lives, gain clarity, and dig deep to understand what really matters to us.  Dr. Thema cautions us to break the vicious cycle of conflating our “busy-ness” with our value, and offers a blueprint for defining the places where we’re accepting a “basement” existence when we were made for a “penthouse” lifestyle.To follow Dr. Thema on social media or to find out more about her podcast The Homecoming Podcast, you can find her at: www.instagram.com/dr.themaTo order Justins’s book, Stay Woke, visit: http://www.staywokegiveback.comTo support Justin’s movement to give back to underprivileged youth visit: http://www.staywokegiveback.org

We are all born to fulfill a specific “calling” on this Earth.  However, so many of us succumb to outside pressures and end up settling for a life that is “safe,” or that maintains a sense of harmony for the people around us.  Soul coach, author and entrepreneur, Rha Goddess has dubbed this phenomenon “the trade.” And in her thought-provoking new book The Calling, she boldly challenges the status quo to encourage each of us to seek and follow our passions, to unapologetically monetize our gifts, and to make sure we do this work with a heart towards service.  If you’re tired of theology that doesn’t offer the specific actionable steps, Rha’s the expert you’ve been looking for to help you become the person you were meant to be!To purchase Rha Goddess’s book, visit: https://www.amazon.com/Calling-Fundamental-Shifts-Stay-True/dp/1250204690Get our weekly audio guides that will help you live your dreams, on your terms: http://www.motivationforblackpeople.com

Have you ever stopped to think: If you knew you were going to die, what would you do with your life? When Justin was asked this question by his dying grandmother, he was confronted with a life-changing decision: continue living the “good corporate life” or pursue his dreams. In this special replay of his appearance on The Only One in the Room Podcast with Laura Cathcart Robbins, Justin explains how this crossroads led to him totally upending his life to pursue a path that was completely unfamiliar, but much more closely aligned with his deepest desires. And as he recounts his remarkable journey to step into who he was meant to be, he learned there is often strength in walking alone.To check out The Only One in the Room Podcast with Laura Cathcart Robbins, visit:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-only-one-in-the-room-podcast/id1457399201 To order Justin’s book, Stay Woke, visit: http://www.staywokegiveback.com

Some decisions have the power to change the course of your life. Creator, showrunner and star of the Emmy winning series Giants, James Bland describes the unshakable pull that led him to create, and ultimately bootstrap, the initial production costs for development of the show.  He explains how his early sacrifices led to unexpected breakthroughs and opportunities that allowed him to leave his full-time job and go all-in on his dream. Making life-changing decisions is not easy. But in taking decisive action towards accomplishing our goals, you are sending a signal to the universe that you are ready to step into your greatness, and James offers his life as an example for all of us to follow.

In this final installment of our Black History Month series called ‘Forward,’ Justin revisits some of the most powerful and impactful advice from his interview with Black Lives Matter founder, Alicia Garza on how we can push for change in an authentic, strategic and effective way. Justin reminds us all that ACTION is essential for any type of progress and that we must involve ourselves in ways big and small to support the social change movement, to flex our collective power economically to push our agenda, and to use our voices to make our community a key player in the political process that drives this country FORWARD.

After having our culture and freedoms stripped from us during slavery, African-Americans have always struggled to define wellness within the context of the American majority. Let’s be honest, the odds have been stacked against us, which contributes to many of the health- and wellness-related issues our community faces.  In this third episode of our series ‘Forward’, we explore ways to promote not just physical, but emotional and mental health in 2020 and beyond. Join us as speaker, entrepreneur and mindfulness expert, Nicole Cardoza, explains how TRUE wellness goes beyond just the amount of exercise we get and what we eat, and teaches us how we can define wellness on our terms.Find more about Reclamation Ventures, funding, and grant opportunities for wellness entrepreneurs: https://www.reclamationventures.co/To order Justin’s newly released book, Stay Woke, visit: http://www.staywokegiveback.com
