Hey There Friend…

Welcome to Rigour & Flow with Aiwan and Tamanda—the show where business meets love, and culture meets critique! 🎙️✨

We’re Aiwan and Tamanda—two Black women with 20 years each in entertainment, research, and social justice. We’re also a married couple figuring out what it means to build a life and two businesses together.

We'll talk about the realities of running a business, making creative work that matters, and navigating research with integrity.

📌 What You’ll Find:

✅ Honest conversations on entrepreneurship, research, and creativity

✅ Unpacking the intersections of business, leadership, relationships, and identity

✅ Hot takes on media, culture, and social change

✅ Guest insights from entrepreneurs, researchers, and artists

If you’re navigating business, love, and the messiness of life while trying to do meaningful work, you’re in the right place.
