real people. real stories. real progress. Hosted by Myra Reneé

What does it mean to be a successful single Black woman in Madison, Wisconsin? In this special live episode "Heels and Feels," Myra sits down with five incredible women who are redefining success on their own terms while navigating life as "unicorns" in the Midwest.

From therapy practices to wellness companies, these women have built empires while staying true to themselves. But success isn't just about titles and accolades—it's about peace, alignment, authenticity, and the freedom to show up as your whole self. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, they share what it's really like being single Black professional women in predominantly white spaces, the importance of deep friendships, and how they maintain their light when the world tries to dim it.

Featured Guests:

• Afra Smith - Founder & CEO, The Melanin Project
• Delonda Jackson - Director of Operations, Anesis Therapy
• Bobbie Briggs - Community Mental Health Outreach Specialist & Psychotherapist
• Vanessa Statam - CCS Program Director & Psychotherapist
• Keena Atkinson - Founder & CEO, Rougey Wellness
