Mindfulness mode 509.

I also think that all the personal traumas and things that happen in my life when I was younger sort of propelled me.

Now, Mindful Tribe, wait till I tell you, I have a wonderful guest, and I know she's a wonderful guest because we've had a very nice pre-show chat

already. She's written a book. She has really accomplished fantastic things in her life.

I have Olin Muhammad with me today. Ola, are you in mindfulness mode today?

I don't know when you've been interviewed if you really can be in full mindful, but I am fully present.

I would say that.

Okay, that's a great start to be fully present.

I'm going to share a little bit about you with Mindful Tribe, Ola.

Ola Muhammad is the founder and creative director of Ija Rae Ray Ray.

I so you get it.

That is the coolest name of a company I've heard in a long time.

Yeah, so I'll say it again, Eja Ray Ray.

And these are all about designs.

She's worked with some major celebrities, including NBA superstar player LeBron James and music recording artist Jay Cole.

That is right.

Now, these are big names.

When Ola was choosing a career, she was told, believe it or not, that her dream of becoming an architect was not

suited for a black woman. Oh my gosh. Even though people tried to step on her neck on the way up,

it didn't stop her. She took that as a challenge and she became highly successful as an architect living in the most affluent neighborhood in Illinois.

Ola learned that what holds people back the most from achieving their dreams is not racism, but self-hate.

So we're going to talk about that today.
