*Note: Ameerah reached this goal shortly after this interview! Brunch and Slay was featured on Apple Podcasts in the Listen and Reflect section under Business and Success for Juneteenth:
What is a trend or development in the podcast industry that you foresee happening in the next few years?
I think live podcast recordings will be new social events and opportunities to connect with listeners and brands.
What is one of the best pieces of podcast-related advice you’ve ever received & why?
To record in batches. This has been a lifesaver for me because things happen and you will not always be able to record or feel like recording. Having pre-recorded episodes allows you to stay connected and consistent with your audience.
What are some of your favorite women-hosted podcasts?
Yes Girl!, Confluence, Jesus and Jollof, My Taught You
Can you tell us about a time when you took a huge risk/did something you were scared to do, and it totally paid off?
The biggest risk I’ve ever taken was to join the military, it was scary and I was young but I had a dream and the military allowed me to gain benefits and opportunities to pursue my education and it has aided me on my journey more than I can say.
Are there any great podcast-related resources you love that you would like to share?
Squadcast is a game-changer, the quality of recording and user-friendly platform is a must for my podcast
Is there a charity or cause you care about that you would like to share?
How do you feel you’re making a positive impact and generating change through your podcast?
I’m doing it one podcast, event and moment at a time. I don’t have a huge platform but I choose to share positivity and encouraging content on mine.
