She is also founder and visionary for the Nonprofit Equity Collaborative and she serves as philanthropy advisor of Give Black, Give Back, the first effort from the Black Philanthropy Initiative in Middle Tennessee. She's also the incredible mom of a young boy.Our interview covers the importance of traveling with kiddos, setting boundaries, being mindful to document our experiences with our children - in photos, video, and/or via journaling, and SO much more.This was one of my very favorite takeaways that Kia shared: "They are brilliant because their mind only knows how to be brilliant. And then as time goes on, and because I talked to adults all day, I was leading a workshop recently and I said, as an adult, it's almost like every day somebody chips away from your joy. And as children, all they have is joy..."May we all put ourselves in our kids' shoes and recall what it was like to be a child. May we all find ways to stop chipping away others' joy.I walked away feeling super inspired after our chat and know you will too!

Ep011 - Kiss with a Fist - Kia Jarmon

Do you have someone in your life that you’ve always looked up to for their confidence and courage?  That’s how I feel about today’s guest, Kia Jarmon. Several years ago, I spoke on a panel with Kia. And ever since I met her, I’ve admired her confidence and courage. She knows exactly who she is and it’s evident in how she shows up in the world.  Kia is talented and gifted in so many ways that it’s hard to find the right words to describe her. Kia is an entrepreneur. A communicator. A speaker. A change agent. A philanthropist. A mentor. A mother. Ultimately, Kia is a strong, powerful voice in Nashville. That’s why you’ll often find her working on high-impact projects in our city. During our conversation, we talked about everything from how to be brave in business to the courage of motherhood to finding the bravery to address racism in your own life.  Kia is so wise and her confidence is utterly contagious. This was such a valuable, beautiful, honest conversation. I hope you’ll enjoy listening to Kia as much as I did.
