Summary
This week in the guest chair we have Gia Peppers, an award-winning on-air talent, entertainment journalist, content creator, and podcaster who is most known for her work as a contributor on NBC's primetime morning show, "Today Show," her nationally syndicated Urban One Radio show and podcast, "More Than That with Gia Peppers," and as 1/5th of the wildly popular podcast, "Black Girl Pod."
She shares with us how with each piece of content she creates or participates in, she hopes to remind everyone that the greatness that inspires us in others also lives in each one of us.
In this episode we discuss:
- How she found a way to do what she loved at a time where there weren’t many opportunities in the entertainment industry
- How her father inspired her love for journalism
- How all of her experiences helped her get to where she is now
- How she taps into the little daily joys of life for happiness rather than focusing so much on the big accomplishments + so much more..
