Culture & Perspective
Thoughtful conversations rooted in the lived experiences, ideas, and cultural intelligence of Black women.
Welcome to
Black Women Amplified
Black Women Amplified is a podcast rich in culture and conversation. Here, we explore the complexity of our lives, our perspectives, and the fullness of our power. We are accomplished, thoughtful, and still curious. Still exploring. Still expanding. Honoring who we are and what we bring to the world.
The Conversation
Black Women Amplified explores the arts, literature, culture, spirituality, and life’s big questions. We talk about identity, purpose, creativity, power, and becoming, and our real experiences.
The conversations move easily between the personal and the cultural. Between story and insight. Between laughter and depth. They are thoughtful, expansive, and grounded in the reality of Black women’s lives.
This is a place for women who enjoy meaningful dialogue and who believe conversation can open doors within us.
WE ARE|
For generations, Black women have shaped culture, led movements and carried the world. This space is designed for identity, clarity and renewal of our power and spirit.
The Community
Black Women Amplified speaks to women who have lived enough to know that life is layered. Women who love culture, art, books, travel, memory, and meaning. Women who carry responsibility and brilliance, and still feel called to explore what more is possible.
Here, ideas are shared. Culture is explored. And conversations expand our minds and our lives.
The Voices
Over the years, Black Women Amplified has featured conversations with visionaries, scientists, authors, artists, leaders, and innovators across the arts, business, and cultural leadership.
Guests have included voices such as Tonya Pinkins, Richelle Carey, Jayne Allen, Rhonda Ross, Lisane Basquiat, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant, Stephanie Perry, and many others who bring depth, perspective, and lived wisdom to the table.
In this next chapter, the focus widens. While guest conversations remain an important part of the platform, the heart of the show centers on the richness of life itself and the ideas, experiences, and inner worlds that shape who we are becoming.
The Belief
At the heart of Black Women Amplified is a belief that we are connected to something greater. A higher power. A larger purpose. And through conversation, reflection, and shared insight, we participate in the creation of new worlds.
This platform exists to honor that connection and give language to the experiences that often go unnamed.

Appreciation
Monica supported me in streamlining my message so the masses could hear and appreciate the services. I walk away with nuggets of gold to implement in my business and expand my reach.
Monica's expert marketing advice has been invaluable in promoting my Indy podcast. I am forever grateful for the doors she has opened for me and the vast opportunities she has provided.
The students have thoroughly enjoyed her and repeatedly told me she was one of their favorite mentors. She was very open and honest, I know they appreciate it as they contemplate future careers in podcasting.

New Book Alert
Have We Lost the Plot? It is a call to reclaim the one power we were never meant to give away: our story. In a world built on speed, visibility, and performance, this book invites us back to meaning, memory, and humanity.
Monica Wisdom shows that the story is more than expression. It is how we heal, lead, connect, and build legacy. Through ideas such as the Human Code, the Inner Archive, the Signature Story, and the Legacy Economy, she explains why the future will belong to those who communicate with depth, not noise.
This is not a book about branding or algorithms. It is about authorship: the courage to tell the truth about who you are and the wisdom to build a life that reflects it.
When we own our story, we do not just survive the world.
We shape it.
