Becoming our best self requires us to pay attention to how we show up in life. Being willing to adjust at every level is a mandatory life rule. We need to observe with the intent of gaining information so we can help not only ourselves but others. Taking action and willingly going through the process of adaptation gives us a winning chance at achieving our goals.
In this episode, we continue exploring the idea of inner strength and how observation can help us develop it. We'll explore the idea of Doing The Right Thing, and how observation can help us become better people by doing the right thing even when it's difficult.
As we continue to explore the idea of inner strength, I hope you'll find this episode to be helpful. I believe that through observation, we can build inner strength that will help us become the people we want to be. Thanks for watching!

There are many who are carrying the mantel of telling the story of Black history, which is American history. This powerful show was originally aired in 2021. We wanted to again pause and celebrate an amazing woman who is daring to let her voice be heard around the world - Juanita B. Johnson! Juanita is known as the Sankofa Griot, and also wears the title as best-selling author with her latest book entitled The Audacity Code - Coloring Black Outside the Lines.
During this episode, LaWanna Bradford, Barbara Beckley and Juanita B. Johnson will challenge the status quo and push the envelope with their discussion around the indelible imprint of Black Americans throughout American history. We anticipate that this conversation, which will introduce the concepts of The Audacity Code, will compel all who listen to rise up and step into their highest calling and the strive to be best version of themselves. "Rise up and be bold and audacious so that the world will know that you were here!"

Dr. Kimberly Harden is the featured author with her book, The Allyship Challenge - How to Move Beyond Performative Allyship and Become a Genuine Accomplice. This book challenges the reader to go beyond the traditional paradigms associated with diversity and inclusion. Diversity, inclusion, equity, belonging and accessibility are central pillars to creating shifts in the workplace experience for marginalized populations. Dr. Harden explores the difference between ally, advocate, and accomplice. She reveals how performative allyship is dangerous and traumatizing and provides steps on how to become an accomplice to be a part of the solution.
We should want to live a life of winning. However, not all our circumstances lead us in the
winning direction. At least, this is how it may appear. I as an Army Veteran did not always
have the winning mentality. When I joined the military at the tender young age of 19, I had
no idea that would put me on a trajectory to win. There are so many reasons we join the
military and especially women its certainly was not the first choice for me in my household.
I have been on a few Veteran panels, mostly consisting of men and our reasonings were
very different for joining to serve. However, the outcome was the same for us. We came out
on top. With this intestinal fortitude that drives us to win. Unfortunately, that is not the
case for many. Some are confused and take routes to try and soothe the confusion, which
can lead to more detrimental life changes. This is why it is so important for those of us who
have been called to help our comrades fight the sometimes-invisible battle that we do our
part to help pull each other up. While serving in the military we learned many ways to
carry our comrades physically. Now it is time for us to help carry each mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually to the winner’s circle. This is exactly what our guest is doing in
her organization.
Join co-hosts LaWanna Bradford (The Bradford Group) and Barbara Beckley (Diamond Factor Experience) for a special tribute to Sidney Poitier. We have lost another great trailblazer. Thank you for making a difference, for living unapologetically, for refusing to be marginalized and type-cast, and for showing the world the beauty, grace and strength of a black man. You will be missed, Sir. They also share insights on Sidney Poitier’s final book, Life Beyond Measure – Letters to My Great-Granddaugther.
Purpose is your reason for being alive. Knowing your purpose should give you intentional direction. We were all created to contribute to the world (community, others). This will seem unreachable at times. We must understand our purpose connects us with something bigger than ourselves. This will keep us in a passionate pursuit of reaching our goals. The more we pursue the more the passion and dream grows. Knowing your purpose is a powerful place to be in. It allows us to live free of judgment, comparison, and negativity. Purpose gives us vision and we can see the progress we make. Remember our cause is for a larger good and it is something bigger than we can imagine.
