Full disclosure - Codie and Thembi have been friends for a quick minute, but as the two of them are busy busy, it's always good to catch up! So let's get into it. Thembi Banks is a filmmaker, storyteller, wife, and mama. AND when she and Codie had this conversation she was getting ready to make her feature film directorial debut (after having C-19 shut down the first one). Codie and Thembi got real about just how hard it is to find your footing in the entertainment industry. As it turns out, the feature she was talking about is no longer going forward ( 😔) but the value is still there! Tune in as Thembi and Codie talk about juggling motherhood (shoutout to her little one in the background) and work and all the things that come with doing it all (note: extend yourself some grace). Trust, Thembi will be your New BFF by the end of this convo!

Welcome Back BFFs! Codie first met Jessica through her husband. After watching their life through the lens of social media, she knew she had to have a conversation with them for Black Love Doc. Little did she know just how much she would connect with all the things that Jessica embodies. In this conversation, Jessica shares everything about her new book Golden Guidance and all that it took to get her to the point of understanding just what programming she had endured. More importantly, what needed to be done in order to unlearn it. Golden Guidance is ALL THE THINGS and listening to Jessica share her journey is truly an experience.

Connect with Jessica over on IG @mrsjessicaburns and get everything Golden Guidance including the book and catch up on her blog at mrsjessicaburns.com
