I’m writing you from the Haneda airport in Tokyo, Japan during a 15-hour layover on my way back to the states from Indonesia.
I just ate (OK, devoured) a bowl of the best ramen ever.
That’s actually why Haneda is one of my favorite airports, for the quality and quantity of foodie treats alone!
I can get my authentic Japanese food fix with everything from ramen to udon to curry to tonkatsu all in one day.
But I digress.
Today, I wanted to write a quick post to THANK YOU for spreading the word about our brand new Happy Black Woman Podcast!
In just a few days, we’ve had more than 3,000 downloads.

Yesterday, we were on the front page in the top 10 in two categories, which is not an easy feat with the thousands of great podcasts that are out there right now!

Our launch week contest is officially over, but we’re just getting started!
It’s not too late to share the love and set aside some time to listen in to our first 3 episodes this week.
As for me, I’m listening to the new Drake mixtape right now on Spotify, What a Time to Be Alive.
I don’t care much for Future, but when Drake raps about the grind and the hustle, I listen because it’s so real for me. (Plus, he gets me hyped up LOL)
The ups, the downs and the huge rewards along the way.
On the song, “Big Rings,” he ends the hook with the album title:
What a time…to be alive.
I couldn’t agree more.
It’s a wonderful time to be alive because it means we have the opportunity to pursue our dreams and actually make them come true.
Thank you for being a part of mine.
