episode Legacy in Motion: Keeana Barber on Hustle, Heart, and Building Black Business cover

Legacy in Motion: Keeana Barber on Hustle, Heart, and Building Black Business

In this episode, Laura Miller sits down with WDB Marketing founder and Legacy Awards creator Keeana Barber for a masterclass in entrepreneurship grounded in community and faith. From launching a self-funded gala that grew into a three-day celebration at Soldier Field, to transforming a tiny $300 office into multiple locations, Keeana breaks down how she scaled step by step without losing her soul. She shares the deeply personal story of honoring her late brother through her business, why hustle and humility mattered more than capital, and how WDB Cares is training the next generation of young Black entrepreneurs. You’ll also hear Keeana’s hard-won advice on partnerships, knowing when to grow, and why grace, travel, and believing bigger than your current square footage are essential to building a true legacy in Chicago and beyond.

The House Is On Fire: Melissa Conyears Ervin | Behind the Cover: Road to Congress

In this episode of BNW's Behind the Cover, host Laura Miller sits down with Melissa Conyears Ervin—Chicago City Treasurer and candidate for Illinois' 7th Congressional District—for a candid conversation about her journey from Englewood and the West Side to managing $10 billion in city funds. Melissa opens up about growing up with a single mother, being the first in her family to attend college, and what drives her fierce advocacy for working families, the disabled, and those relying on federal assistance programs like SNAP and Medicaid. She also makes headlines with her bold decision to pull city investments from U.S. treasuries under the current administration—and explains exactly why. With the March 17th primary on the horizon, Melissa makes her case for why the 7th District is ready for a congressperson who truly lives the experiences of the people she serves.

episode The Mensa Method: Vic Mensa on Sobriety, Fatherhood, and Reclaiming His Voice cover

The Mensa Method: Vic Mensa on Sobriety, Fatherhood, and Reclaiming His Voice

In this intimate conversation ahead of his video viewing event last Saturday, Grammy-nominated artist and activist Vic Mensa reflects on transformation, legacy, and independence. From embracing sobriety and Islam to navigating fatherhood and walking away from the traditional music industry, Vic discusses the spiritual practices that ground him—gratitude, dhikr, and clarity. He shares the story behind naming his son Mansa Musa Mensa, discovering his ancestral connection to the Sahel, and releasing his latest EP Sundiata independently. This is Vic at his most grounded—speaking not to chase headlines, but to build something lasting. Profound, purposeful, and unapologetically rooted. Please note: The audio for this episode has been cleaned but remains a bit raw, preserving the authentic, unfiltered nature of the conversation.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
