The countdown to my interview with Myleik Teele is on! Don’t know who Myleik is? Well you SHOULD! She’s my second favorite role model next to Oprah so having the opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation with her is major! At least to me anyway. Eeek! I was so geeked when I entered a meeting with Myleik on my calendar – I could definitely get used to penciling in stuff like this on my calendar!
Myleik is the creator of CurlBox, one of the top-selling beauty subscription boxes for natural haired curly girls. She also recently started a second mentoring business called MyTaughtYou.
Over the years, she’s acquired a huge social media following, not only due to the success of her businesses, but also her tough-love advice she’s been giving to women (and men), like myself, through her podcast. I love Myleik’s “tell it like it is” attitude. She uses just the right words and tone of voice without sounding too “preachy” or “bossy”. She discusses everything from how get out of a slump to offering practical (and realistic relationship advice) to sharing how she started earning over seven figures working for herself over the last few years.
During our interview we’ll be talking about her new podcast companion worksheets and of course books! I also plan to ask her some additional questions too.
Your turn: I’d love to know what questions you think I should ask Myleik. Dish!
I know I may be a little late to the game, but I didn’t really get into podcasts until about two years ago. It all started one day when I was sick at home with a cold, and a friend suggested I listen to the Serial podcast to pass the time. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get into Serial, but I did find several other amazing podcasts and once I got started, I couldn’t stop.
Now I’m a podcast junkie! I usually have one playing when I’m working out, folding laundry, or in the car (when I’m not listening to kids songs). Don’t get me wrong, I do love music, but sometimes it’s nice to have something else stimulating to listen to that makes me think. I have several favorite podcasts that I listen to religiously, but today in honor of the upcoming Black History month, I decided to share a few of my personal favorite Black podcasts hosted by African-American women.
