Hi, I'm Nicaila, a Social Media Marketer turned Side Hustle Pro. I'm also the host of the Side Hustle Pro podcast, the first and only podcast to highlight Black women entrepreneurs who scaled from side hustle to profitable business.

Kay Cee and Hendrix are 2 Awkward Millennials, with something to say. With uncommon perspectives and an underrepresented voice they enter the realm of pod-casting to give a voice to those who probably honestly rather not talk to you. They're young, socially uncomfortable and finding our voice and  sharing some laughs. 

Send your questions, comments and concerns to ask2ampodcast@gmail.com to be answered aloud on the show.
