What if we told you that manifestation – the act of aligning aspirational thoughts with actions and emotions – can revolutionize your self-perception and drive you towards your aspirations? In this episode, we journey into the world of manifestation, sharing our personal experiences and unveiling its spiritual aspect, while underlining the critical elements of having a clear vision and the role of faith in shaping our goals.

Happy International Women's Day! This year the BWW team take a moment to reimagine a working world that actually meets the needs of women! From changes to the structure of the working day to introducing a 'women's tax' to account for free domestic labour, we had a lot of fun putting the world to rights in this episode.

In this episode, Natalie and Chantelle discuss the over-scrutiny of black women at work and the undermining of our achievements. Our conversation is fuelled by the current media commentary on American basketball player, Angel Reese. Sadly, the headlines have not focussed on her achievement of being named outstanding player on the tournament or the fact that this is the first time her team, the LSU Tigers won the tournament for the first time. Angel Reese has been topic of conversation, criticised for her conduct on the court, notably with a lack of comparison to her peers. As always, with Black women we stand and we want to remind everyone listening, like Angel, just keep being you. Let us know your thoughts and keep the conversation going Connect Email: [email protected] Twitter and Instagram: @bwwpodcastuk, #bwwpodcastuk Website: www.blackwomenworking.com Natalie- @mscarter_13 Tols- @tolsabeni Chantelle- @mscocolondon Rachel- @rachnjk
