Season 2: Ep18 Meet the newest addition to the InkandescentPR team — master teacher Erika Andrea, our new social media manager

Today on the Questions Bar: Check out Ep18 of the show where we interview a woman who teaches that inner-knowing, and not taking shit, guides powerful women to live the life of their dreams!

In our podcast and video show sponsored by Inkandescent Women magazine, we invites you in to listen in on a chat with two girlfriends talking about topics of the day that touch their minds, bodies, spirits, souls, and hearts: AlinaZ in Los Angeles and Hope Katz Gibbs in Washington DC.

The mission of the show: To share tools and experiences to manage stress and find hope in our lives each and every day. In Season 1, the hosts engaged in some girlfriend therapy as they discussed issues that were challenging them, and found healthy solutions to transform the pain to joy (see some of the topics below).

In Season 2: Every Friday, Alina and Hope bring inspiring guests onto the show and ask them 3 Big Questions to mine deep into their hearts as they tell the stories of their lives:

• What is one miracle you can share to inspire others to believe in miracles when times are hard?
• How do you love yourself, even when you think you don’t look or feel good?
• If you were in charge of the country, what’s the first thing you would do — and why?

This week: Our guest is Inkandescent’s new social media manager, Erika Andrea. With more than 12 years of experience working in education, project coordination, and business advising, she is a social media expert who will be helping all of our clients find a larger audience in the virtual world.
