Darlings, welcome to LIVING OUT LOUD with LAURETTA episode 1. I’m your host Lauretta Nkwocha. Throughout my life I’ve met so many inspiring and exciting people. My guest today is someone I met when I first started singing in the Michael Hart band, one of many bands at Hank Lane Music and Productions. I remember thinking she was beautiful, fun, fierce and her voice was fabulous! I was so surprised to learn that she had a young son. I mean, she looked so young herself. Stephanie Hodges Dunivan, otherwise known as Nöne, is a singer, the mother of two, a wife, and executive producer of video at Essence magazine. She can be seen every Thursday as a host of Shop Essence Live, where she highlights black-owned businesses and connects them with new consumers. She also just released her debut EP, “Love To Shine” which is available to download below, or on all music platforms. https://music.apple.com/us/album/what… Today we talk about her career journey starting at 106 and Park, falling in love with her backup plan, pausing work for a dance party, and getting blind drunk at a celeb wedding (with me, by the way)! She says that the versatility of black women’s hair is a superpower. Well, this super woman has figured out the essence of living her life balanced, guilt-free and definitely out loud.
