ABOUT THIS EPISODE


Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to date with confidence and STOP settling for less than you deserve. 

Our guest for today’s episode is my new friend, Faitth Brooks. I had the privilege of hearing Faitth speak at a conference in Atlanta a few weeks ago and immediately knew we needed to have her on Girls Night! 

Faitth is an incredibly talented writer, speaker, social worker, activist, and podcaster. She is also the author of a book called, REMEMBER ME NOW: A Journey Back to Myself and a Love Letter to Black Women, which you’re going to hear all about in this episode. 

Faitth has amazing wisdom when it comes to dating and relationships. She’s going to teach us how to be confident in who we are as women and how to bring that confidence into our dating lives. 

Toward the end of our conversation she reads a letter from her book and it’s truly SO beautiful and such a good reminder about who we are and who God created us to be.

I can’t wait for you to hear from her!
