What happens when virtue meets style in a world gone "ratchet chic"? Find out as Dr. Jacquiline Cox welcomes her newly-discovered cousin Dr. Nakia Young to kick off Season 8 of Listen Linda Live!
Dr. Young's story begins with profound loss - her mother's passing when she was just 14 years old. Yet those formative years with a deeply faithful mother planted seeds that would later bloom into her bestselling book "Virtue Chic: Classy Takes Center Stage." With warmth and wisdom, she dismantles the false choice between being virtuous or stylish, showing Christian women how to embrace both their faith and their fashion sense.
The conversation takes a powerful turn when discussing education and advocacy for Black children. As the first Black speaker to deliver a TEDx Talk on normalizing homeschooling, Dr. Young doesn't hold back about why she chose this path: "The cost of letting our kids get eaten alive by this demonic system is too great." Both women share raw experiences navigating educational systems and standing firm in their parental authority, offering listeners practical wisdom about knowing their rights and options.
Throughout their dynamic exchange, Dr. Young reveals how she balances her roles as homeschool mother of three, bestselling author, mental health coach, TEDx speaker, and entrepreneur. Her refreshing "done is better than perfect" approach has helped her overcome perfectionism and take action despite fears. For single Christian women specifically, she delivers a game-changing perspective: pursue virtue because it's right, not because it guarantees a husband.
Whether you're seeking guidance on faith, parenting, education, relationships, or pursuing your purpose, this conversation delivers heart, humor, and actionable insights. Don't miss Dr. Young's exciting announcement about her upcoming 21-Day Author Boot Camp where you can become a published author in just three weeks!
