Black Women Will S.A.V.E. Black Women

Use Your Voice: Why Black Women Must Keep Pivoting

Listen

Description

In this episode of Black Women Will Save Black Women, Kamika opens the Fail Forward File by naming the power of using your voice especially in seasons of uncertainty, layoffs, and forced pivots. She reflects on why silence costs Black women more than speaking up and how telling the truth becomes a strategy for survival.
She's joined by Nikki Free, journalist, cultural commentator, and creator of 92 Seconds of News with Nikki Free. Nikki shares the story behind the viral 92% image, her journey through multiple career pivots, and why Black women must keep reimagining work beyond corporate America. Together, they unpack layoffs, capitalism, confidence, and the importance of building income streams that honor your expertise and your life.
The episode closes with this week's S.A.V.E. Strategy: Elevate: a call to elevate your voice, your value, and your vision as you move forward with intention.
