Today, you're getting another glimpse into The Big Talk Academy Virtual Showcase. These game-changing speakers from my signature program each have an important message to share.

I know you will walk away fully inspired seeing how these change makers, influential voices, and thought leaders are making a difference in the world.

This week's episode features Cherryl Cooley and her talk, "Love After Oprah: How I Learned to Navigate 'Mother Hurt'."

Cherryl is a literary creative and narrative expert whose work has appeared in Poetry & Essence magazines, the Lincoln Center, the Museum of Modern Art, and numerous anthologies and literary journals. A native North Carolinian, she lives, loves, and works from Woodbridge, Virginia, just south of Washington, DC.

In this talk, she explores:

The legacy of silence that shaped her while growing up
Her appearance on The Oprah Show where she openly discussed her family's tradition of silence and why she had to break it
What a mother blueprint is and why it's important
The power of intentional communication to mend and transform relationships
