Creating Unapologetically Isaura was my way of stepping into my authentic self and helping others do the same. This podcast became a platform for embracing vulnerability, where my guests and I could express our true selves, imperfections and all. It wasn’t just about sharing stories—it was about creating a space for reflection and self-discovery, aligning with YEBO’s goal of helping BIPOC youth find purpose through storytelling.

When I launched the show, I wanted to go beyond the surface and dig into what really makes us who we are. With segments like “Moon and Stars,” I explored my guests’ astrological signs as a way to understand them more deeply, and “Real Talk” gave us the chance to discuss real-world issues like body image, toxic masculinity, and motherhood. Each episode ended with an “Affirmation of the Day” to remind us all of the importance of self-love and affirmation, especially in a world that often challenges our true nature.

Through this journey, I realized how powerful it is to create a community where people feel seen and heard. By sharing their stories, my guests were able to reflect on their experiences and feel empowered to own their narratives. That’s what YEBO is all about—helping us explore our past, find meaning in our stories, and gain the confidence to express who we truly are. Unapologetically Isaura helped me, and my guests, do just that.
