Rejection is Redirection: Walking in Purpose with Shirlz Rejouis

So that you can be a possibility model for not only your peers, but the generations after you. And this episode of Bet On Yourself, Sis! is a real-life example of just that!

Shirlz Rejouis and I have a heartfelt conversation about our experiences in the podcasting industry, the importance of community, and the challenges faced by Black women entrepreneurs.
