This episode launches The Corporate Baddie Series, a new conversation focused on helping Black women protect their careers and stay ready inside corporate America.

Kamika is joined by Latoya Haynes, an executive coach and Human Resources leader, to break down what it actually takes to remain visible, valuable, and in motion at work. They discuss why staying in one role too long can quietly stall your career, how to keep a "ready plan" active, and why your career strategy should never depend solely on what your employer is doing.

Latoya advocates for the PIE model: Performance, Image, and Exposure. She explains why overperforming alone isn't enough for advancement. Together, they explore how to build exposure authentically, identify strategic advocates, use HR as a resource, and negotiate compensation beyond base salary.

Kamika closes the episode with the S.A.V.E. Strategy, focusing on S for Support: redefining what real support looks like at work and why Black women don't have to navigate corporate spaces alone.

La Toya T. Haynes is an executive coach, Human Resources leader, and founder of The Talent Practice, where she helps high‑performing women be seen, valued, and advance their careers. With more than 27 years of corporate experience, she brings a strategic, human‑centered approach to supporting leaders across all levels of the organization.

In Part 3 of this three‑part entrepreneurship series, Kamika and business consulting expert AnGèle Cade talk about how to close a business with intention and let go strategically. They reframe business closure as a leadership decision, not a personal failure and unpack the cost of holding on past a business's prime, why exit planning should begin early and how founders can transition with clarity instead of urgency. Together, they walk through strategic exit options including acquisition, franchising, succession and intentional sunsetting, along with the protections founders need in place for unexpected transitions. They also discuss how to recognize the value of non‑physical assets like data, brand equity, and intellectual property and how exiting well creates legacy instead of loss.

Kamika closes the episode with the S.A.V.E. Strategy, focusing on V for Validate: validating that choosing to end a business chapter is not quitting, failing, or giving up. It's discernment. It's leadership. And it's allowed.

In Part 2 of this three‑part entrepreneurship series, Kamika opens the Fail Forward File with a candid reflection on building a business on vibes instead of systems and what it cost to untangle later. She's joined by business consulting expert AnGèle Cade to talk about what happens after the launch, when maintenance, delegation and reinvestment become unavoidable.

Together, they name the realities Black women founders often carry alone: underestimating ongoing business upkeep, accidentally creating a job instead of a business, trying to grow everything at once and burning out in the process. They explore how to shift from operator to owner, why building in phases matters and how reinvesting in your business protects long‑term sustainability, while also discussing the power of relationships, entering rooms you weren't invited to, building communal tables for Black women and why authenticity isn't a liability, it's the strategy. Kamika closes with the S.A.V.E. Strategy for the week: Equip: choosing systems and support that match your current stage of growth.

This episode is for founders who are already in business and want to stay in it, without burning out or shrinking themselves.

Financial clarity for Black women navigating layoffs and income disruption. In this episode of Black Women S.A.V.E. Black Women, Kamika opens the Fail Forward File with her own story of bankruptcy. Not as a failure, but as a lesson in waiting too long, carrying shame, and sacrificing health in the name of "doing the right thing." She sits with financial expert Dr. Lynn Richardson for a grounded conversation about money decisions Black women are forced to make when income becomes uncertain. This episode blends intimate truth with a practical playbook: living "check to Monday" even at a high income, unlearning cultural money habits, setting financial boundaries with family and friends, and reframing tools like bankruptcy as pathways to recovery rather than punishment. Dr. Richardson breaks down why more money doesn't fix a money problem without education, how wealthy people protect assets early, and why multiple income streams create resilience. Kamika closes with the S.A.V.E. Strategy: S for Support, reminding us that financial freedom is peace, not performance.   Dr. Lynn Richardson is a nationally recognized financial expert, author, and media personality with nearly three decades of experience in finance and real estate. Named one of Urban Influence Magazine's 20 Hottest Influencers in America, she's known for her sharp wit and practical approach to money education. Dr. Richardson is a recurring financial expert on Good Morning America, Fox Business, The Steve Harvey Show, and BET, and the creator of New W.E.A.L.T.H. University, a platform focused on economic literacy and legacy building for Black communities   Business and social media links: New Wealth University (NWU) Instagram: @newwealthuniversity Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewWealthUniversity   Dr. Lynn Richardson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynnrichardson/ X: https://x.com/lynnrichardson TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drlynnrichardson Threads: https://www.threads.com/@lynnrichardson LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnrichardson1/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lynnrichardsonwealthtalk For the audience: Please feel free to text Dr. Lynn at (310) 349-3690 Website: www.asklynn.org

In this episode of Black Women S.A.V.E Black Women, Kamika opens the Fail Forward File with a blunt prompt: don't settle anywhere ( in romance and in work). She sits with Jo Wong, a London‑based business development consultant and founder of Let's Grow Black Female Founders, for a global conversation about the "Kamala Effect" and why Black women across countries are choosing themselves over corporate approval.   This episode blends intimate truth with a practical playbook: the call that changed everything, how identity and belonging shift between the US and the UK, and the small acts of courage that turn fear into momentum. Jo explains how to protect your intellectual property while employed, why negotiating your exit early is strategic, and how fractional expertise and side revenue can buy sleep, choice, and better clients. Kamika closes with the S.A.V.E. Strategy :V for Validate- a simple framework to name what you need, validate it for yourself, then ask for it with clarity.   About the guest: Jo Wong is the CEO and founder of Let's GROW Black Female Founders, a business development consultancy democratizing commercial strategy for underrepresented founders; she left corporate leadership in May 2025 after managing £450M+ portfolios.   Connect with Jo Wong:  Website: https://linktr.ee/Whoisjowong Instagram:​ www.instagram.com/whoisjowong Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/whoisjowong/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@whoisjowong
