When I say this guest is special, you may be thinking that I keep saying it (it's true, and I feel so lucky to get to talk to all of these incredible people!), but Karee Upendo is truly an inspiration. This episode is a little on the shorter side, but I hope that you'll follow her on Instagram or TikTok where she's active, to get more from her, but I fully intend to do more with Karee in the future, because she is a powerful force and a great role model!

I don't want to spoil her story, but Karee did not have a typical childhood, but you know, that's why she has so much heart for what she's doing. She was a designer, she was a teacher, and now she's a farmer - an autistic black farmer, paving the way for the next generation, and showing them all that's possible if you believe in yourself.

Listen here to learn more, and be hooked on Karee like me!

I usually give the website address, but the LinkTree covers that and so much more! Check out all the incredible things the Upendos have done (award winning film, published books, their AirB&B and their website)! https://linktr.ee/upendoEstates
