Ep174 5 Ways to See The Legacy You’ve Already Started Building
Apr 14, 2026 Season 18 Episode 2
Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu

Legacy can feel like a loaded word, like you need a big house, a perfect family tree, and a fortune to leave behind. We don’t buy that. We’re two 60-something Black women, best friends for almost 50 years, and we’re talking about legacy as something you’re already building right now through your values, your relationships, your stories, and the way you show up in community.

We also shout out a resource we believe in: The Job Liberation Summit for Black Women, co-founded by Dr. Kimani Norrington Sands and Marissa Price. It’s built for Black women navigating layoffs, toxic workplaces, exit strategy planning, financial readiness, and the emotional healing that has to happen alongside liberation. If you’re thinking about freedom, nervous system regulation, and economic autonomy, this belongs on your radar.

Register for The Job Liberation Virtual Summit for Black Women. Prices start at only $97
