You are in for a treat.
In this episode of The Black Woman in the Corner Office, I’m chopping it up with the powerhouse herself — Dr. Nutrena Tate. This woman’s résumé? Longer than CVS receipts. She’s a nurse practitioner, professor, researcher, leader, and entrepreneur — and yes, she does it all with style.

We go way beyond “nursing at the bedside” and dive into what it really looks like to build a career, a business, and a legacy while keeping your sanity intact. From being the majority kid in Detroit to facing racism head-on at the University of Michigan, Dr. Tate didn’t just bounce back — she bounced forward.

We talk:

• Building your personal board of directors (because you need more than just hype-women, you need wise-women).
• Why self-confidence is cute, but asking for help is essential.
• How to care for your soul, not just your title.
• What it looks like to stop standing in your own way.
• And yes, that unforgettable bra-off moment every woman knows. 🙌🏾

This episode is about resilience, soul care, and the audacity to say: I’m gonna make space for me and leave the door wide open for the women coming behind me.

So grab your coffee, your tea, or your glass of wine (no judgment here), and let’s talk about leveling up, leaning into legacy, and laughing at life along the way.

Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Black Woman in the Corner Office, I sit down with Lisa Stringer Bailey, a woman who has lived both sides of the financial coin. From the military to the conference room to entrepreneurship, Lisa gets real about the turning points that shifted her from simply working in finance to walking in her purpose as a financial educator and advocate.

We talk about what it looks like when you know the rules of money—but you’re not living them. Lisa shares her personal wake-up call, how she turned pain into purpose, and why she believes financial literacy is more than numbers—it’s legacy, discipline, and favor.

This conversation will push you to face your finances, rethink your money habits, and start conversations at your own kitchen table about generational wealth.

Key Takeaways:

• 💡 Financial education isn’t optional—it’s empowerment, especially for underserved communities.
• 🛠️ Personal pain, like losing a loved one without insurance, can be not only emotionally devastating, but financially devastating.
• 🎯 Lisa’s “FOCUS Framework” (Face, Organize, Communicate, Understand, Succeed) offers a roadmap for managing money.
• 🙌 Faith + Finances = Favor. Bringing spirituality into money management changes the game.
• 🗣️ It’s time to normalize money conversations with our families and build legacies that last.

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in on an intimate conversation between two long-time friends. Dr. Ebony Stone and Wendy Batiste Johnson—owner of Jagger Juliet and founder of United Black Mothers of America—open up about the realities of balancing marriage, motherhood, community, corporate life, and entrepreneurship.

Wendy takes us through her powerful journey of self-discovery, sharing the highs, the heartbreaks, and the lessons learned along the way. Together, we talk about:

✨ What it was really like trying to secure funding for her business venture
✨ The emotions and resilience behind shutting down her first company
✨ Why she chose to step back into corporate after life as an entrepreneur
✨ How her nonprofit was birthed (celebrating its 5-year anniversary!)
✨ What inspired her to jump back into entrepreneurship with fresh vision

This conversation will make you smile, laugh, nod your head in recognition—and maybe even shed a tear. It’s an honest reminder that giving yourself permission to just be is sometimes the boldest move of all.
