ABOUT MONICA
Founder of Black Women Amplified | Host and E.P. of The Black Women Amplified Podcast
Monica Wisdom is a cultural curator, legacy builder, and acclaimed interviewer who creates space for truth, transformation, and clarity. With over 30 years of experience across beauty, music, publishing, and spiritual leadership, Monica brings lived experience, emotional depth, and a powerful voice to every conversation she leads. Through storytelling, she guides women to reconnect with who they are beneath the pressure and performative roles.
She is the founder of Black Women Amplified, home of the number one empowerment podcast for Black women on Goodpods, and a global community for midlife women who are reclaiming joy, softness, and their next chapter.
THE POWER OF BLACK WOMEN AMPLIFIED
Black Women Amplified is more than a podcast. It’s a sanctuary for truth-telling, emotional clarity, and evolution on your own terms. This platform was built for women who are ready to put down the weight, stop performing, and come home to themselves. It’s not about hustle or hype. It’s about wholeness.
Each episode invites listeners into real, unfiltered conversations, where wisdom is honored, softness is protected, and your story is not just seen, but respected. Black Women Amplified doesn’t speak at you. It speaks with you. It offers a kind of connection that reminds you you’re not alone, and a kind of reflection that reminds you of your power.

FIVE CORE VALUES
More than a podcast.
Truth in Conversation
Our conversations are rooted in lived experience, not headlines or hashtags. The truth may be tender, but it’s always welcome here.
Story as Power
We tell stories to heal, to remember, and to lead. When a woman tells the truth about her life, she becomes unstoppable.
Self-Led Transformation
We create space for women to name what they want, release what no longer fits, and move forward with clarity.
Emotional Depth
We make room for the full range of emotion. Joy. Rage. Stillness. Desire. All of it belongs and is the portal to power.
A Community That Sees You
Our audience shows up because they feel held. Whether you’re tuning in from St. Louis or South Africa, you’ll recognize yourself here.
