Welcome to Hello Somebody, a production of the Black Effect Network on I Heart Radio.

Before we begin, I want to give a big thank you to my team, the team that makes this show happen every week.

Thank you, Grace and Co. for graphics, Pepper Chambers, the hot one for writing.

Angelo Greco and Anna Mesa for social media. Tiffany Hale for everything.

Erica Eklund for Patreon support and production by the folks at large media.

That's L-A-R-J media.

Also, I want to tell you about the special Hello Somebody family over on Patreon.

If you go to patreon.com forward slash hello somebody, you can become a member and join us over there for special video content

asking me anything experiences and all kinds of surprises all the proceeds go to making this production

happen every week and we would love your support so come on and join and become a Patreon family member.

This is just amazing.

I mean, hello somebody.

I don't know what to say.

Every single week, we have such incredible guests and we are learning so much. And so I am beyond delighted, like almost jumping

out of my skin happy, hello somebody, to be with someone who I admire so very much who I hold in high

regard and someone who we have built a relationship with one another I know it's well past 10 years

right now she is an incredible force of nature and her name is Jennifer Farmer.

She is known as the PR whisperer.

She's an author, a lecturer,

baby, and she has a podcast called The First and Only,

which we are going to talk about her new book

that's coming out, titled The First and Only.
