Poetry For Life

Quote: “Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.”

― Willa Cather

Hello Beautiful People, welcome to another episode of the Beauty & Soul Podcast. Today I have another lovely guest by the name of Ber-Henda Williams. She is a poet, teacher, author, television and film producer, youth advocate and public speaker.

As the founder of the Power of Girlhood, a non-profit leadership development institute for girls 13-18 years old, Williams, in June 2011, sponsored the first Power of Girlhood, a full day of celebratory and empowering programs, performances, vendors and activities. The Power of Girlhood hosts workshops and girlhood activities throughout the metro-Detroit area and has a residency at various schools.

-How did you get started writing poetry?

-Who are the three people who have been the most influential to you?

-What have you read or listened to recently that inspired you?

-What inspired you to start the Power of Girlhood organization?

-I know you have a summit you’re working on is it for girls aged 13-18 as well?

What comes to your mind when I say the following:

Stick to the Code

Quote: “Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts … good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don’t hurt. They’re not painful. That’s not just with somebody you want to marry, but it’s with the friends that you choose. It’s with the people you surround yourselves with.”― Former First Lady Michelle Obama

This episode I chatted with three beautiful queens who are the authors of the The Bestie Code which will be released very soon. 

This trio of besties tell their brutally honest, hilarious and straight-forward narrative about the art of living by The Bestie Code, 10 fundamental principles of building and maintaining your best friendships, your squad, and girl gang. The book discusses issues with jealousy, being the blunt friend, setting boundaries, friendship expectations, co-existing with spouses, your best friend’s “other” friends and more. I enjoyed our conversation.

Don’t forget to pre-order The Bestie Code today! You can get more information here.
