Ep. 32: Black Girl Luxury

Ep. 33: My Level Up Journey

Back with a solo episode after over a year! Shanell discusses the level up journey in multiple aspects: how it started, mental health/spirituality, living situation, job, education, dating (never settling again!), and appearance/health. P.S. How are you 30 and don't own a credit card?

Ep. 32: Black Girl Luxury

#richblackgirltiktok  What is “Black Girl Luxury” & how are Black women attaining luxury? Have you ever been called “bougie”, & if so, what for? Are Black women trying to be White women for wanting a luxurious lifestyle? Why is there a lack of natural (type 4-kinky) hair representation in the Black Girl Luxury movement? Atlanta native & Property Management Company Owner Kamaria Williams, & Your Hostess with the Mostest Shanell answer these questions as well as discuss the “soft life”, why Black women are expected to struggle, the pros and cons of luxury dating (it can get dark!), & more. We end by sharing some of our personal favorite luxuries & self-care tips.  P.S. Mental wellness is the best luxury! _____________________________________________________________ Guest Info: Kamaria Williams  Instagram: @callxmezee ______________________________________________________________ Instagram: @thesoulisprismatic Twitter: @soulisprismatic YouTube: The Soul Is Prismatic TV Email: thesoulisprismatic@gmail.com _______________________________________________________________ Production & Editing: Shanell Engineering & Recording: Cast Soundlab Studios Photography: Nigel Bradshaw (@sir_nigel) Music: Yung Kartz, Dev Lahday (@devlahday)

Ep. 31: Black Women Are Feminine Too

Why aren't Black women seen as feminine? Is the "strong Black woman" stereotype empowering or harmful? Do we believe in the "I don't need a man" statement? Mass Media Artist Danielle Blaiq, Stylist & Designer Steffany Allen, Marketing & Data Analyst Nanthale, & Your Hostess with the Mostest Shanell answer these questions as well as discuss the adultification of Black girls, breaking out of masculinity, dating & femininity, education/career & feminity, the "Level Up" & "Black Girl Luxury" movements, & more. We end with words of affirmation to Black women. P.S. Counting sand on the beach is better than ever proposing to a man! ______________________________________________________________ Guest Info: Danielle Blaiq Instagram: @danielleblaiq Steffany Allen Instagram: @steffyfullstyle @steffanyallenlimited  Nanthale  Instagram: @styleby_nanthale ______________________________________________________________ Instagram: @thesoulisprismatic Twitter: @soulisprismatic YouTube: The Soul Is Prismatic TV Email: thesoulisprismatic@gmail.com _______________________________________________________________ Production & Editing: Shanell Engineering & Recording: cast Soundlab Studios Photography: Nigel Bradshaw (@sir_nigel) Music: Yung Kartz, Dev Lahday (@devlahday)

Ep. 30: Morehouse Man

#blackexcellence  Your Hostess with the Mostest Shanell had the pleasure of interviewing Morehouse College Alumni (& Atlanta natives) Austin Jeter & Justin Cook, on everything Morehouse College (a historically Black and all male private liberal arts college in Atlanta, Georgia) & beyond. The men discuss brotherhood amongst Black men, freshman year experiences, academia compared to a PWI (predominantly white institution), stereotypes of Morehouse men, the "Spelhouse" relationship (Spelman College is a historically Black and all female college located near Morehouse), finishing school at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, & define what a "Morehouse Man" is. The gentlemen also discuss post-grad life in NYC, the legacy that they want to leave behind, & end with words of advice & encouragement to prospective students.  P.S. Some prominent Morehouse alumni/attendees include Martin Luther King Jr., Spike Lee, Julian Bond, Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, Maynard Jackson, Bill Nunn, honorary degree recipient Sidney Poitier, & more. ______________________________________________________________ Guest Info: Austin Jeter Instagram: @404jeter Justin Cook Instagram: @_jcook__ ______________________________________________________________ Instagram: @thesoulisprismatic Twitter: @soulisprismatic YouTube: The Soul Is Prismatic TV Email: thesoulisprismatic@gmail.com [thesoulisprismatic@gmail.com] _______________________________________________________________ Production & Editing: Shanell Engineering & Recording: cast Soundlab Studios Photography: Nigel Bradshaw (@sir_nigel) Music: Yung Kartz, Dev Lahday (@devlahday)
