And of course, there will be a few giveaways because that’s what I always do! 🙂

I was recently honored with the opportunity to be interviewed on the Freeman Means Business blogcast. It’s an amazing platform that among other things, focuses on amplifying women’s voices through storytelling. I welcome each of you to read more and take a listen to the interview using the following link: https://freemanmeansbusiness.com/blog/2022/8/27/wonder-woman-in-business-joyce-kyles
I also strongly encourage you to learn more about the CEO, her business, and all of the awesome things she’s involved in.
This month is all about Women’s Empowerment and Health and Wellness. We invite you to join us for these monthly workshops which are free of charge. If you’ve not yet participated in one of these workshops, this is a great time to get started. We invite you to share with others and attend as many as you can. These are sponsored and organized by Innate Success, Dress for Success Memphis, Joyce Kyles Consulting and Grow with Google.
When I was asked if I’d be able to interview Valeshia Butterfield Jones, I calmly responded by saying ‘sure I can do it.’ On the inside, I was screaming with excitement! Here I was, new to the freelance world and having the opportunity to interview one of the most influential black women in the world of technology, equity and young women around the globe. She’s a Google executive, worked as part of the President Obama Administration, a CEO, wife and mother among her many hats. She was in Memphis, TN as the keynote speaker at the Women’s Foundation for a Greater Memphis luncheon.
One of the most impressive points about her is her humble spirit. She’s smart, beautiful, articulate and knows what she knows-well. She speaks with confidence and understands her weight of her platform. There were four of us who were allowed to give an interview. I was the last person to interview her, and I was honestly disappointed because the two more well known press cut into the interview time for myself and another writer. The writer before me was fine with what she heard from the others and had only one question which was indeed different from everyone else.
Our interview felt more like two friends talking. And, I sincerely think she was impressed with the fact that I wanted to know more about WEEN. You should have seen her face light up when I did! Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network, or her ‘baby’ as she calls it, was a relevant part of why she was speaking in Memphis in the first place. If you are not already familiar with Mrs. Butterfield Jones, I strongly encourage you to Google her, pun intended!
I do hope to meet her again and possibly work with her. I was very transparent with her about my experiences with domestic abuse, particularly in my late teens/early adulthood and the work I’ve done with young ladies. Her work with WEEN specifically, continues to speak to my heart. But, her overall character is what has been an inspiration to me, and I’m sure, to many of women. Especially to those of us who identify as women of color.
Over the Labor Day weekend, I had the opportunity to encourage and educate the Whitehaven community about domestic violence at their Annual Community Festival. I am especially pleased to see a festival that is specific to not only having a good time for families, but also making sure it includes a social component. Unfortunately, domestic violence plagues communities around the world. In Memphis specifically, Whitehaven is among those ranked relatively high with regard to domestic violence incidents.
I wanted to make sure the attendees understood that Memphis reached a record number of homicides in 2016, with the two biggest reasons being cited as gang related activity and domestic violence. I also wanted them to be aware of the many services available, including the one I founded, Walking Into A New Life, Inc. Lastly, I wanted them to know they were hearing from someone who could understand what they may be dealing with as I am celebrating another year as a survivor myself.
Always know that you’re not alone. Help and resources are available. If you or someone you know is going through abuse, please contact your local police precinct or domestic violence agency. Learn more about our nonprofit, Walking Into A New Life, Inc. by visiting the website, www.wianl.org. And, if you’re in immediate danger, PLEASE CALL 911 ASAP.
