MProper Mimi - Storytelling Through Adversity

04/04/22 • 35 min

Have you ever experienced a setback or learned a valuable lesson through trial and error that you wished you could share with others so that they would never have to go through what you have been through? Or sometimes the stories we decide to share with those around us are to connect with them through similar adversities. Our guest this week on MProper Mimi is Stephanie Smith and she and Mimi Jacks talk alot about why we share our stories and why they are important. You also get your fair share of sisterfriends chatting about how the division of Black and white in the US creates a culture that encourages turmoil. We list a few of our fav books and movies in the MProper Suggestions below. Be sure to subscribe to the MProper Mimi YouTube channel to see or listen to us as well.

MProper Mimi - Sip From Your Couch - Black Women in Wine
play

07/06/20 • 49 min

Episode 15: Ah the world of wine is so vast! For many of us, when it comes to buying a bottle of wine, it's hit or miss and we might purchase based on the pretty label or a recommendation from someone else. MProper Mimi teamed up with Chef Keesha O'Galdez, founder and owner of The Gourmet Diva Inc. from our very first episode and Sommelier and wine educator Lea Faith Williams, founder of Let's Talk Wine to host a virtual wine tasting. Our ladies extraordinaire walked us through the process of how to pair and taste wine and find what we like about the wine we are drinking! We focused on women in wine, particularly Black women in the wine industry for our wine recommendations. What we found was that it was difficult for some people to find wine in their local stores from the following Black owned wineries and winemakers: Brown Estate, McBride Sisters, Theopolis Vineyards, Stuyvesant Champagne and Aslina Wines. Whether it's due to demographics or distribution, you can ask your local store to order these and other Black owned wines for your tasting pleasure or go right to the source and order direct! We invited Paula Harrell, from P. Harrell Wines to join us afterwards for an intimate conversation about Black Women in wine and what some of their experiences have been in the wine industry. Mimi talked with Lea, Keesha and Paula about what first sparked their interest in wine, to various challenges and accomplishments they have achieved. We hope this episode helps to open the world of wine to women and empower them to identify what they like to drink and why. As always, we want to encourage supporting Black businesses and women in business as well. Listen and share MProper Mimi with other Black women and anyone who is passionate about conversations that empower women everywhere! Email Mimi with questions or comments!

Episode 5: Dr. Eugena Griffin joins us to talk about the importance and impact that mentoring can have on our youth and us a professionals to advancing our careers. It doesn't stop there! Entrepreneurship is the key to building a self sustainable community. Women especially need to think about not placing all of our eggs in one basket when it comes to our finances, wages and building a legacy. The support of our families, friends and mentors gives us the knowledge and courage to break free from the bondage of some corporate jobs. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mpropermimi/support

Episode 24: Happy Veterans Day! Often round this time of year I'm in #ScorpioSeason mode. There are a lot of birthdays and celebrations in my family including November 11th. I know my grandfather was in the Army, as well as few of my uncles and friends, including those who are still active duty in other branches of military (Can you tell me how many there are?). I never really knew any Black Women Veterans that could tell me about their experience and time in the military. Shoot...I didn't even really understand the renewing or contracts and retention! So as usual, my network of friends and organizations came through and voilà, we have an MPressive MProper Mimi episode on Black Women in the military.

So join your host, Mimi Jacks as I sit down with 1st Sergeant Tiffany Eaddy and listen in to us chat about the ups and downs of being in the military, leadership, feelings of accomplishment, and the stigma of being a Black Women in a position of authority. There also is a long history of Black Women in the military and we talked about a couple of those firsts, some being as recent as within the last few years.

As we are also coming off of another historic 2020 Presidential election, I also wanted to give voice to other Black Women Veterans to gain a better understanding of what so many go through in the military with their careers, families and internal growth. Women who had to endure sexual harassment, racism, leaving children behind while on tour, disrespect, and slander as well as promotions, traveling abroad, marriage, entrepreneurship, and successfully retiring! Thanks goes out to Keesha Dancy, Natasha Howard, 2nd Lieutenant Yolanda Knight and Staff Sergeant Sofia Olds . You ladies truly blessed me and I hope you all continue to share your stories.

So please listen and share the MProper Mimi podcast where we love to empower women in all they do at Home Work and Play! Feel free to show your support by becoming a sponsor today.
