  • Summary

  • Celebrating our Melanated Magic through storytelling and candid conversations. Melanated Conversations was created out of the desire for a sisterly community that fosters positive and authentic expression of our voices on various topics that we experience daily. Every Monday we amplify the voices and stories of black women and share our narrative of personal and professional transformation. We build community and culture through honest dialogue, share our lessons, and celebrate our successes. This is Our Narrative, from Our Perspective.

    This week, we decided to do something a little bit differently. We are turning our mics over to our sisters in podcasting Bethany and Sharoline. We were a guest on their podcast Chatting Over Chowder. They are also the minority magic behind our podcast!

     

    In this episode, we chat about our journey into podcasting, our origins and insight of our joined connection, and so much more! This is such a great conversation and we’re so excited for you to hear it!

    In this episode we chat about:

    • The history of Yana and Terrain with podcasting

    • Building the brand and audience of Melanated Conversations

    • The art of being you when it comes to podcasting
