We close out season 1 with Leah Stone McDaniel - Leah is a dynamic Brand Marketing professional focused on emerging marketing mediums. Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, Leah attended The Ohio State University, graduating with a dual degree in Marketing and International Business and obtained an M.B.A. from Regis University.

Throughout her Brand Management career, Leah has worked with industry leaders like Procter & Gamble and Kao USA Inc. for iconic brands such as Duracell® and Bioré®. Leah values the evolution of marketing and spreading knowledge through journalism. She has been a frequent contributor to Atlanta Tribune The Magazine and other publications, as well as being a published author.

Leah is a huge ally and supporter for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Several people in her family, including her mother and sister-in-love are MS Warriors and she proudly serves on the Ohio Board with a clear desire to see a cure for this disease in her lifetime. 

Outside of her marketing career, Leah is a published author and enjoys freelance writing on a variety of topics from business to creative to Prince (yes the artist formerly known as). She’s a travel enthusiast and once it’s safe to do so, you’re liable to find her in any pocket of the world at any time. Leah has also had a love of mixology for several years and took the plunge to become a licensed bartender a few years ago. During the pandemic, she took our “stay at home” as time to enhance her skills and love to create new libations.

Latoya White, a Sales Manager from Richmond Texas, and I talk about George Floyd, the natural hair movement, diversity training, representation, colorism and so much more. Latoya's genetic makeup sparked her interest in biology and her pre-med focus in school. She’s a huge supporter for Diversity & Inclusion efforts and exercises them daily in her personal and professional life.  

At the end of the day, Toya is hopeful that we will get to a place of fair and equal treatment...  not better than...  just fair and equal.  That includes: pay, treatment by the police and business owners, neighbors, co-workers, politicians, people in other countries...  the list goes on.  Fair and equal treatment and opportunities as a starting point would be a great start.

In this week’s episode we’re talking with Cincinnati mover and shaker, Tamia Stinson. (If you chime in on Instagram @SixDegreesofSegregation, give her a shout because she just got married! Congrats and best wishes!)

Tamia is a Marketing Strategist who helps creative entrepreneurs build stylish brands through her company, The Style Sample. Often called upon as a producer and influencer for marketing and branding campaigns, Stinson has worked with small businesses, non-profits, and multinational brands on a diverse portfolio of projects.                                                                                                                                  

In 2017, she won a $100,000 Haile Fellowship Grant to create Tether, a network of creative image-makers. And in 2021, was awarded a grant for Main Street Ventures to make upgrades to tethercincy.com and continue its mission.She also sits on the board of several organizations, is a frequent collaborator on creative and civic projects, and has long held the title of Slumber Party Dance-off Champion. – which for some wild reason we did NOT get to during our talk. Tamia I need a follow up!

What we did get to though, covers off on finding yourself and who and where you are the most you. How fashion is a tool for self expression. The expectations to look and act a certain way – esp as a black woman. And again – this was recorded in Aug 2020, we talked about Juneteenth, critical race theory and many other topics that could have easily been recorded today…
