About Us
Hi! It’s Terrian & Yana, Creators and Hosts of the Melanated Conversations Podcast. We created this global sisterly community to create space and amplify our authentic voices as black women. This is a space for our queens who desire support, community, and upliftment. We are women who support each other, ask questions, share resources, build relationships, are free to be vulnerable and celebrate one another!
Our motto: Our Narrative from Our Perspective
Here we initiate [respectful] dialogue, foster connection, and present resources for tools and tips to support you in your different phases of life. It's all love in this space.
SEGMENTS OF THE SHOW:
- Melanated Chats: Our conversations we have with the fabulous melanated queens we bring to the show sharing their personal stories.
- Melanated Mentions: This is the segment of the show where we highlight black-owned [women] businesses, events, ideas, etc.
- Melanated Moment in HERstory: Here we highlight cool milestones or shout-out our fellow melanated siSTAR's achievements.
- Talk a Topic: It's simple we placed over 30 topics within a bowl to pull and we speak on it. We never know what we may get.
- Melanated Mini Series: These are bonus (episodes) and our opportunity to share about the fabulous little ladies making a Big impact. Here we celebrate the achievements of our mini queens aged 17 and younger.
- Side Conversations Series: These are bonus (episodes) and our opportunity to invite you in the living room with us to hear us [randomly] riff on topics that come to mind. You never know what you're gonna get. ;)
