The Corner Connection - Just Wait On GOD
Wednesday Mar 12, 2025
Wednesday Mar 12, 2025
In this episode, I'm opening up about a divine full-circle moment that happened in my career just yesterday – one that mirrors a testimony I saw on TikTok two years ago. Y'all, God works in ways that will leave you SPEECHLESS sometimes!
I break down my journey from feeling stifled at a previous job where leadership changes limited my autonomy, to making the difficult decision to leave, to unexpectedly finding an opportunity with a vendor after a simple congratulatory message. What followed was a path of challenges – including a promised promotion that became a lateral move – but by staying faithful and consistent, I eventually rose to a strategic position. And here's the kicker: my former company is now my client! The very people who once undervalued me now see my worth from the other side of the table.
This testimony isn't just about career transitions – it's about trusting God's timing, staying true to yourself, and understanding that sometimes you have to go through the valley to appreciate the mountaintop. If you've experienced similar full-circle moments in your life, I want to hear from you! Visit www.CousinEdsCorner.com and leave a voicemail sharing your story – because sometimes others need to know they're not alone in their struggle.

In this episode, I share my recent experiences from a family wedding, where I had the chance to reconnect with family members I hadn't seen in a while. It was a reminder of the bonds we share and the love that exists within our families. But I also want to challenge you to think about how often you reach out to your family. Are you waiting for weddings, funerals, or big birthdays to celebrate each other? Let's change that!
I’ll provide you with some practical tips on how to maintain those connections using technology, like text messaging, to make it easier to reach out regularly. I believe that even a simple text can go a long way in showing your family that you care. So, let’s make it a point to connect more often and not just passively engage through social media.

In today's episode of Cousin Ed's Corner, I opened my heart about something deeply personal - my experience with depression and how my faith guides me through life's challenges. I shared a powerful story from a trip to the Gulf of Mexico that taught me about God's protection even in the scariest moments of our lives.
When my daughter asked me if I ever get depressed, it sparked a conversation about how we all face dark times, but it's our response that matters. I wanted her - and all of you - to understand that God doesn't want us to quit when we're in deep waters. He wants us to fight through, to come up for air, and to use our life jackets (the people and faith that support us) when needed.
Tune In Now:
This episode wasn't just about sharing my story - it's about reminding you that God is always with you, protecting you in ways you may never even notice. I want to encourage you all to keep fighting through life’s challenges. God is always with us, guiding us and providing the strength we need to overcome. So, whether you’re feeling down or just need a reminder of God’s grace, I hope this episode brings you comfort and inspiration.
Whatever you're going through right now, I want you to know that God has something bigger for you on the other side of this struggle. Don't quit, family. Keep swimming.

Wind Down Wednesday - More Than Just Hug 'The Needed Accountability And Love'
Wednesday Mar 05, 2025
Wednesday Mar 05, 2025
In this episode, I'm talking about why we all need people in our lives who will pull up on us and stand in the gap, but who will also be there with open arms. This message is especially important now, as we navigate challenging times in our community and nation. We talk about a powerful video I recently came across of a young man being scolded by an older figure, and it sparked a lot of thoughts about how we can support one another, especially our youth. We're talking about the importance of accountability and love in our communities.
We all know that tough love can be hard to hear, but it's often what we need to grow and become better versions of ourselves. I share my thoughts on mentorship and how vital it is for us to step up and guide the younger generation. It's not just about pointing out mistakes; it's about showing love and support, helping them understand that they are better than their current circumstances.
Throughout this episode, I dive into what I call "retrospect" - that crucial moment after someone checks you, when you need to put your ego aside and really hear what they're saying. I encourage you to embrace constructive criticism and see it as a form of love. We all need those virtual hugs and moments of accountability in our lives.
Tune In Now: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3uVhEwsihXGP08etMsbrfh?si=54403191687a44d8
This one's for everyone who's needed a wake-up call and a hug afterward. It's for the mentors standing in the gap for our youth, and for the young people trying to find their way. I'm giving y'all virtual hugs through your speakers while also keeping it real. Remember fam, we build this community together through your comments, shares, and engagement - so don't be shy about letting me know what you think. No matter how you cut it or slice it, we're all in this together, and I'm right here loving on you through every episode.

In this episode, we dive deep into the real and authentic conversations that matter to us all. Today, hit different because I recorded it while literally helping clear out a The Sister Shop at Atlantic Station in Atlanta, Georgia, and I want to talk about something that hits home for many of us: the fear of starting over. That moment of transition—seeing dreams packed away—got me thinking deep about what it really means to start over.
Life is full of changes, and sometimes those changes can feel daunting. Whether it’s a career shift, a personal setback, or simply the need to reinvent ourselves, the fear of losing what we have can hold us back. But I’m here to tell you that starting over is not a failure; it’s an opportunity for growth and transformation. I’ll share some personal stories and insights that I hope will resonate with you and inspire you to embrace the journey ahead.
We’ll also explore the importance of resilience and how we can redefine what failure means. I’ll also draw some parallels between gardening and our personal lives, illustrating how nurturing our dreams requires patience, care, and sometimes a little help from others. Remember, just because something ends doesn't mean you failed—everything has its season. The real failure is never getting back up to try again, whether that means trying the same thing differently or something completely new.
Tune In Now:
This episode is especially for those of you standing at crossroads, wondering if the end of one chapter means you've somehow failed at your story. Listen in as I share why resilience isn't about never falling—it's about how we respond when we do. As always, I'm keeping it real with love because that's what family does.
So, sit back, relax, and join me as we dive into this important conversation. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and experiences, so be sure to share your feedback and let’s keep this dialogue going.

In this episode, I dive deep into what makes boycotts and economic actions truly effective. Is it just about not spending for one day, or is there something more powerful we should be building toward? I share my raw, unfiltered thoughts about how we can create lasting change through consistent action rather than symbolic gestures alone. This isn't just about economics—it's about showing our collective power and building something sustainable for future generations.
I discuss the significance of a boycott and how it can serve as a powerful tool for change. I’ll share my thoughts on why it’s essential to support Black-owned businesses and how our collective actions can make a difference. We’ll reflect on historical movements led by great leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing inspiration from their courage and commitment to justice.
Throughout our conversation, I’ll also touch on the importance of spirituality in our lives. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of the world, but I believe that connecting with God can provide us with the strength and clarity we need to navigate these times. Let’s take a moment to reflect on our past, embrace our present, and look forward to a brighter future together.

When My Sistah Wins We All Win - Christal Brown 'Stepping Into Your Purpose'
Wednesday Feb 26, 2025
Wednesday Feb 26, 2025
In this episode, I'm absolutely thrilled to share this powerful conversation with the amazing Coach Christal Brown. Coach Christal takes us on her journey from a little girl accidentally dropped off at a ballet class to becoming a professional dancer, choreographer, tenured professor, and now a Vision Coach helping others unlock their true potential. Her story about DIVINE MISTAKES, learning to value herself beyond external validation, and creating a path that honors her authentic self resonated deeply with me.
What struck me most was Coach Christal's insight about our past selves being the "Foot Soldiers" who fought to get us where we are today. Instead of burying or being ashamed of those earlier versions of ourselves, she encourages us to honor them as warriors who made our present possible. Her work with young women through Project Becoming is exactly the kind of initiative that makes a real difference in our community, helping the next generation define success on their own terms.
This conversation is just the beginning – we barely scratched the surface of Coach Christal's wisdom and insights. I'm already planning to have her back to dig deeper into topics around self-confidence, authenticity, and empowering our young sisters. So tune in to hear this uplifting conversation that explores dance, vision, motherhood, and the beautiful journey of becoming your authentic self.

In this episode, I share some personal reflections on a recent event that has touched my heart—the closing of The Sistah Shop, a business that holds a special place in my life. As we navigate through the bittersweet emotions of change, I want to remind you that it's okay to feel heavy, but it's also essential to rise and pivot towards new opportunities. I share personal insights about the power of community and how sometimes it just takes us as a village of support to help hold up someone's when they're struggling.
Throughout our conversation, I’ll be sharing insights on how we can support one another during tough times. Life can throw us curveballs, but together, we can uplift each other and find strength in our community. I draw on my experiences in sports to illustrate the importance of learning from our setbacks and using them as stepping stones to success. Remember, just because we face challenges doesn’t mean we can’t keep moving forward!
This episode is special to me because it's not just about motivation – it's about family, community, and the power we have when we support each other.

The Corner Connection - Knowing Who You Are: 'WE ARE BLACK HISTORY 24/7/365'
Friday Feb 21, 2025
Friday Feb 21, 2025
In today's episode, I'm coming to you straight from the heart, diving deep into a conversation that's not just about Black History Month, but about our eternal legacy of innovation, creativity, and undeniable resilience. This episode is special because we're exploring the incredible achievements and contributions that our people have made – achievements that aren't just confined to February but deserve recognition every single day of the year.
Let me take you on a journey through time as we explore some mind-blowing inventions that came straight from our brilliant minds. From the stoplight keeping you safe on your daily commute to the refrigerator in your kitchen, our influence is woven into the fabric of modern life. These aren't just inventions; they're testaments to our ingenuity and proof of our undeniable impact on global progress.
I'm also breaking down how music has always been our source of strength and empowerment. From the spiritual songs that lifted our ancestors' spirits in the fields to the conscious hip-hop that educates our youth today, music has been our way of preserving history, spreading knowledge, and maintaining our power. I'm challenging all of you to share your favorite Black empowerment songs – those tracks that make you stand a little taller and remind you of your royal heritage.
We're also tackling some hard truths about how our history has been handled. We're discussing why it's crucial to educate ourselves and our children about our true legacy, not just the limited version we get in traditional education. I'm sharing some powerful insights:
Let me share with you some hidden gems from our history – brilliant inventors who changed the world but rarely get their flowers. Like Dr. Patricia Bath, who revolutionized eye surgery with her Laserphaco Probe, making cataract surgery more precise and less invasive. Or Marie Van Brittan Brown, who created the first home security system in 1966, keeping countless families safe today. Then there's Dr. Charles Drew, whose research on blood plasma saved millions of lives and established the first blood banks.
Did you know that Philip Downing invented the street letter box (mailbox) in 1891? Or that John Standard gave us a better refrigerator design in 1891? We've got Alice Parker, who patented a natural gas heating furnace in 1919. And let's talk about Garrett Morgan, who not only invented the traffic signal but also created a smoke hood that became the blueprint for gas masks, saving countless firefighters' lives.
Our brilliance doesn't stop there. Frederick McKinley Jones revolutionized the transportation industry with his mobile refrigeration unit. Alexander Miles made elevators safer with his automatic doors. And Sarah Boone? She improved the ironing board in 1892, making a household task so much easier. Madam C.J. Walker built an empire with her hair care innovations, becoming America's first self-made female millionaire. These are just a few examples of how our people have shaped modern life.
Family, this episode is more than just a history lesson – it's a reminder of who we are and the power we carry within us. I'm calling on each one of you to join this conversation, to share your knowledge, and to help spread these important messages to our youth. Remember, we are the original innovators, the creators, the problem solvers who've shaped this world in countless ways.

Wednesday Feb 19, 2025

I’ll share my thoughts on the importance of empowering our youth, supporting Black-owned businesses, and maintaining ownership of our heritage.

From the emotional journeys we all face during tough times, the feelings of anger and frustration to moments of clarity and purpose. I encourage you to reflect on your own storms and consider how you can transform those experiences into valuable lessons.
I'm diving deep into how we can shift from asking "Why me?" to understanding God's purpose in our struggles. This isn't just talk – it's about real life, real struggles, and real victory.

Wind Down Wednesday - The Power of Remembrance
Wednesday Jan 29, 2025
Wednesday Jan 29, 2025
In this episode, I share my personal journey of remembrance of our loved ones and the bittersweet feelings that come with it. I talk about how technology can sometimes bring back memories we’re not quite ready to face, and how it’s essential to acknowledge these feelings rather than push them aside. I want you to know that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed, and it’s okay to seek help from those around you.
I also emphasize the power of community. We all have friends and family who can lift us up during tough times, and I encourage you to lean on them. Whether it’s a simple chat or a shared meal, these connections can make a world of difference. Remember, you have a friend in me, and together, we can navigate through the ups and downs of life.

Your support means the world to me, and I believe that together, we can navigate through life's challenges. Today, I'm opening up my heart and getting real personal with y'all about some situations that are touching our community right now. I'm reaching out to the family of Cousin Ed's Corner because we've got some members of our community who need our prayers and support right now.
As we reflect on the importance of prayer and support, I'm sharing about our brother Dee Green, who's facing a major surgery, and our sister T Hy's family, who just experienced a significant loss. But this isn't just about their stories – it's about how we as a community come together in times of need. I'm talking about that mustard seed faith that keeps us going when times get tough, and how God's got us even when we can't see the way forward.
I encourage you to remember that God is always on our side. No matter what you're going through, have faith that your mess can be turned into miracles. Let's uplift each other, show kindness, and be there for our loved ones. I hope this episode inspires you to reach out, connect, and spread love in your community.
