Finally! A place for Black creatives to share their content with the community. We are excited to announce the new website launch, afrosandaudio.com and are calling ALL creators to submit their work. We are looking for completed series, narratives, and shorts, just to name a few. If interested please visit the website for submission details and guidelines. We look forward to working with you!

In my coaching, speaking engagements, workshops, etc. I’m a big proponent of aligning your OWN thoughts, words, and behaviors to make the world make sense for YOU. When I realized that procrastination is not the devil as I had been taught to believe but actually a refining process for my big ideas...🤯 know yourself for yourself and act accordingly! #fwdmovement #makesensetome #liberation https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cNuMthhlI/?igshid=12nr4yn4dk9o7

There is a conviction rising in me. It compelled me to read my own words back to myself this morning. In this moment I’m clear that the last paragraph was a message to myself - then and now. And here I was thinking I wrote this for YOU only. The title is Adviser to the Throne Vol. II. The inspiration behind the title is James Baldwin “Your crown has been bought and paid for. All you have to do is put it on.” 👀#fwdmovement #ascension #word #author https://www.instagram.com/p/B08cavPhQ57/?igshid=6uk2srqy5ehr

Always love to see stories like this. The launch of Afros & Audio’s podcast platform will have a major student/youth led initiative. It’s important that our next generation knows the power and influence of their voice both as individuals and collectively✊🏾💪🏾 #afrosandaudio #fwdmovement #podcast #blackpodcast https://www.instagram.com/p/B0B6vYYpo-c/?igshid=131srp6o6rt21

14 years ago today, I inserted myself in this woman’s life. I love this pic because it reminds me of the first one I ever saw of her...back then we were just two thumbnails in an online forum talking around each other for over a year but never directly, until I hit her DM. We have been through it all and chosen each other again and again. This past year I’ve found myself in a consistent space of gratitude that we remain...despite it all. This world ain’t set up for this kinda love to stand but here we are. I told her today, “thank you for responding to my private message.” She said, “thank you for being fresh and forward.” So there you go folks, if you’re going to hit her DM come correct or leave her the F alone. #meandyou #fwdmovement #mylove #grateful #anniversary #truestory https://www.instagram.com/p/ByqWGDJhdZG/?igshid=cu0xkz4k8ke0

@lesliemac23 🙏🏾 TBH (and some already know this)...The first time Spotify created an “opportunity” for WOC Podcast Creators and approx 18,000 women applied and less than 20 were “accepted” into the program I got angry. It was the catalyst for the Festival and the work we’re committed to year-round. One of the biggest myths in the world is that Black Folks want a seat at the table. We are the fucking table, the chairs and the centerpiece. The day we get that and begin the work TOGETHER to disrupt #itsawrap...!!! I’m not saying don’t apply but be aware that our best interests aren’t always at the heart of these “opportunities” #fwdmovement #afrosandaudio #blackpodcast #onelove #community https://www.instagram.com/p/BypqlEvp4as/?igshid=66wbh5hxyu38

And that has nothing to do with your face. (I tell my gorgeous face daughter that she inherited her face so whatever...what is she going to add to the world?) This is a shout out to all the community builders, mental health warriors, industry disrupters, mastermind members, believers in self, activists, educators, dreamers who do work, etc! You know who you are🙏🏾 #fwdmovement #onelove #thislife https://www.instagram.com/p/BxvW_LuFms7/?igshid=m4ggihtqbsia
