And now, so do I!

I’m finally putting my gift of gab to use with my new podcast, CALL ME WYLLISA. People have told me that I talk too much!!  Well, that sounds like the perfect reason to start a podcast. I’m excited to use the platform to connect with fascinating guests, share powerful stories, and inspire women around the world. The podcast  is a personality-driven podcast, offering a celebrity publicist’s POV on everything poppin’ in pop culture. It’s real conversations and unfiltered commentary mixed with personal stories and anecdotes from the world of entertainment, media and culture.

I’m excited to launch CALL ME WYLLISA during the month of August, which is National Black Business Month, marking my 25 years in the entertainment business. The podcast can be found on all major digital platforms including Apple, iHeart Radio, Spotify and Amazon. Just Google “Call Me Wyllisa podcast” Or you can check out the latest episodes below.

Let me know what you think.

JUST DROPPED!

Ep. 17 – The Art of Living Well: Shaniqua Cousins on Wellness, Balance & Intentional Living – CALL ME WYLLISA

On this episode of CALL ME WYLLISA, I’m in the kitchen with Shaniqua L. Cousins, wellness coach, entrepreneur, creator of the Live Well movement, and author of Shaniqua Cousins Live Well: Creating a Lifestyle of Consistency and Intentionality. We’re talking all things wellness—from making intentional choices and developing healthy habits to the importance of consistency in creating a lifestyle that supports your mind, body, and overall well-being. Cousins shares her philosophy on what it really means to LIVE WELL, why wellness is about more than just what we eat, and how small, intentional changes can make a big difference in how we show up for ourselves every day. And since we’re in the kitchen, you know we’re bringing a little flavor to the conversation! It’s all about nourishing yourself, finding balance, and making wellness a way of life rather than a passing trend. #CallMeWyllisa #ShaniquaCousins #LiveWellMovement #IntentionalLiving #WellnessJourney #HealthyHabits #MindBodyWellness #SelfCare

Rolonda Watts

AND I’M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE MY FIRST GUEST: Drumroll, please!! When I thought about my first guest   — I wanted someone who shares the same North Carolina roots as I do!! That’s why I tapped the very talented talk show host, actress, voice coach, comedienne, author and my very dear friend … the amazing ROLONDA WATTS!! For more than three decades, her name, face, and distinctive voice have been known by audiences everywhere, thanks to her many award-winning works in television, radio, film, digital media and comedy. Plus, she is the author of a romance suspense novel, titled, DESTINY LINGERS, which is endorsed by her Godmother, the late Dr. Maya Angelou. The National Book Club Conference awarded Rolonda with the Bebe Moore Campbell Award for Excellence in Storytelling. Plus, she received the Editor’s Choice Award, as well as the Rising Star Award.

Rolonda launched her own eponymous, internationally syndicated talk show, ROLONDA, which ran from 1994 to 1998, and produced by her company, Watts Works, in association with King World Productions. Interestingly, Rolonda began her television career as a local CBS news reporter at WFMY-TV in Greensboro, North Carolina, before she landed a television gig in New York City, and the rest is history1 Today, she continues to hone her many talents as an actress, comedienne and voice coach.
