Real Talk With Deb & Nia
The mission of Real Talk is to provide our audience with engaging, inspiring, entertaining and life-changing information that can be used to support personal and professional growth, enhance spiritual development, encourage financial wellness, enhance interpersonal relationships, boost emotional and physical well-being, and deepen intergenerational bonds.
Our goal is to help people (especially women) who want to transition from surviving to thriving in their personal and professional lives to become more wealthy, confident, and successful. We feature enlightening conversations with experts that spark personal growth and transformative action.
By sharing our own successes, losses, challenges, and solutions with an openness and vulnerability, we aspire to liberate our audience (and ourselves) to live life free from unnecessary boundaries, judgement and self-flagellation.
Join us on this journey into some of the crucial conversations that lay a foundation for a lifetime of personal growth, intergenerational understanding and abundant mother/daughter love. Our podcast is dedicated to the memory of our beloved mother/grandmother, Connie, who began the vibrant, love-filled, life-affirming conversations that we continue today.

A Teen Convicted: From Prison to Purpose (Part 2 of 2)
Have a note you want to share with us? Text us!
This week, we explore survival, pain, loss, fear and anger. We also celebrate the power of forgiveness, vulnerability, awareness, and redemption. Born and raised in West Philadelphia during the 80’s, Jahmal Allen grew up surrounded and immersed in the devastation of the Crack era. His involvement in the “street life”, from the age of 10, resulted in being arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 15-40 years-- by the age of 16.
While sitting in the hole on Death Row, angry at the world for his circumstances and for what life had done to him, Jahmal had a lightbulb moment. This epiphany would mark the beginning of a transition in him that would change his life.
Today, Jahmal comes to us with a message for all regarding the freedom that comes from accepting responsibility for our actions, holding ourselves accountable for our lives, living from a place of vulnerability and humility, and actively committing to choosing education over ignorance. This is Jahmal’s story. (Part 2 of 2)
Note: In this two-part conversation, while we do not glorify drugs, crime or violence, we do candidly chat about topics surrounding street life. Jahmal openly discusses the case that not only altered his future, but forever changed the lives of the innocent, including his victim and the family and friends of all involved. It is with respect for all and an intention that this conversation be one that affects positive change that we share this thought-provoking “tea”.
