Illuminating Our Legacy

Black Women Amplified is a cultural platform dedicated to the voices, stories, and evolution of Black women in midlife.

The Monica Wisdom Podcast

Curated by Monica Wisdom | Powered by Black Women Amplified

This podcast is a curated space where stories, culture, and power converge. Created and hosted by Monica Wisdom, the show features inspiring series like The Soft Life is Political and Black Women in the Arts, along with intimate conversations that center the voices of Black women shifting the world , often without recognition.

From Broadway legends like Tonya Pinkins and Natasha Yvette Williams, to media and industry leaders like Shay Wafer, Richelle Carey, Tracey Moore, Icy Parks, and Annette Freeman, these are the stories behind the spotlight. You’ll also hear from bold thinkers and truth-tellers like wildlife ecologist Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant and county music star Rissi Palmer, whose work speaks loudly in spaces where we’re often silenced.

Each episode is an offering.
Each voice is a celebration.
This is not just a podcast, it’s a cultural archive in motion.

MEET MONICA WISDOM

Founder. Culture-keeper. Creative strategist.
And your soft life doula.

From beauty classrooms to boardrooms, I’ve helped women share their stories, command space, and move with power.
Now? I guide Black women in midlife back to themselves through rest, through reflection, and  through voice.

This space isn’t just about what I do. It’s about who we become together.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

“I’m truly grateful to Monica for the breakthroughs that have led me to confidently achieve challenging objectives, improve personal relationships, and most importantly, live life on purpose, authentically and unapologetically. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Monica to truly understand what cannot be expressed in words here.”

Kind regards,
