Black Boomer Besties from Brooklyn
This is what the world needs now: two free-thinking “seasoned” Black women speaking their truth and inspiring others to do the same. Shaped by 45 years of friendship that began at the prestigious Brooklyn Technical High School through the Ivy League, medical school, marriages, divorces, triumphs, parenting queer children, life-threatening illness and many many amazing adventures. Each week, besties Leslie Osei-Tutu and Angella Fraser will push against boundaries in love, culture, careers, faith, politics and out-dated assumptions about women of a certain age. Remember, you’re never too old to change your mind…or your hair! (but more on that later :-)All views are our own and do not reflect the views of our institution/company.

Ep 41 S4/5 Meet Muralist Delia Miller
Leslie looked at the blank wall in her new pool area and immediately an idea hit her.
She would search for an artist to paint a mural on the wall.
But is that something that people actually do? How does one move a ‘want’ from idea to inception? Leslie’s search led her to the Orlando area based artist Delia Miller. As you’ll learn, Delia’s talents stretch way beyond her 20 years.
In this episode, Delia talks about the rollercoaster ride of her journey to becoming a commercial muralist, the historic significance of her largest mural to date, and her many ambitious pursuits with the support of her Jamaican & Belizean parents.
The Besties have a heart for young folks who pursue their dreams; extending support through encouragement, opportunities and of course buying whatever they're selling!
