Today I chat with Breonna Vereen, the Founder and CEO @imanicowrie, this week she's speaking on the faith and life transition! Breonna Vereen is the relentless entrepreneur behind Imani Cowrie jewelry collection. In high school, she found herself obsessed with statement jewelry.

After many beautiful creations, collaborations, and carpal tunnel (but that’s another story) Imani Cowrie as we now know it was formed. She was also featured in @Essence during #curlfest in Atlanta last year. Check out this episode as we share more about faith and life transition.

I'm sure everyone has received or maybe has not received a stimulus check. I wanted to do an episode on stimulus checks and what I did with mine. (I did not, I repeat did not buy a Chloe bag)In a @Forbes article by Robert W. Wood, Wood discusses who qualifies for a stimulus check and the parameters for receiving one. "Tax filers with adjusted gross income up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint returns will receive the full payment. For filers with income above those amounts, the payment amount is reduced by $5 for each $100 above the $75,000/$150,000 thresholds. Single filers with income exceeding $99,000 and $198,000 for joint filers with no children are not eligible." (Wood, 2020) Read more or Forbes.com or visit www.irs.gov for more insight on the CARES Act. Today, I'll reveal what I did with my stimulus check. You'll also hear about the organization we raised funds for our host @jasminelikepaul's birthday fundraiser and hear from @eq

Back to the Basics shares the importance of getting back to the simple things of life. Going back to the foundation of your life.
