Hey, hey B.A. fam, it's Mandy here and I have a very, very, very special guest today.

I cannot wait for y'all to meet her.

But before I introduce our illustrious guest, I want to wish, of course, my co-host, Tiffany.

I hope she's having the most amazing time off during the month of March, taking some

time for herself, going to Egypt of all places.

And as I'm thinking of her, I'm like, she better have flown first class because the days

of economy are over for her and she needs to embrace her rich, Auntie life.

All right, so for those of y'all who have followed B.A. from the beginning, and I know we have

some OGs in the audience, first of all, thank you.

Because in 2014, when we launched the show, we were one of like none, women of color,

no women of color who were covering finance in the career and doing it in the way that

we were doing it.

And for those of you who don't know the origin story of Brown and Vision podcast, Tiffany

met at a conference, became friends, and I was a reporter at the time at Yahoo Finance.

And for my career, like I literally studied print journalism because they allowed me to

do that in 2005, even though it was a dying industry, at least a rapidly changing one.

And it was one of my survival tactics throughout my career to figure out these new skill sets.

And so I taught myself video, taught myself broadcast how to actually talk to a camera,

which I had huge fears about.

And podcasting was sort of that next chapter.

And so when I thought about a show I'd want to do, Tiffany, of course, came to mind.

We had such great chemistry and Brown and Vision was born.
