About our Guest:

Zandra is a mom, attorney, entrepreneur, life coach, and prophet, raising a company of uniquely extraordinary leaders set apart for the Glory of God in the marketplace.  Zandra shares, "Christ, the Hope of Glory, is the source of my ambition.  Prosperity is merely a byproduct of purpose.  Indeed, "a diligent hand maketh rich." However, ambition rooted in monetary riches alone is neither profitable nor sustainable.  There is a deep belief inside me that God with me is the source of my success, and this mindset gives me access to the Kingdom of God's commonwealth, resulting in an impartation of actionable vision time and time again, and you can have this too.  You see, this commonwealth goes far beyond tangible assets to the very wisdom of God.  With your permission, I will help you to acquire such wealth.  Women of God, you have spiritual gifts to harness and use for God's glory.  To flourish in all areas of life and thrive and excel in the marketplace, I want to invite you to partner with me as your coach.  Because you want to see a transformation in your family, community, and the world, it is essential for you to train and embody the expression of leadership set apart for God's Glory.  Are you ready to go beyond what you currently see as possible to become a Uniquely Extraordinary Leader?"

About our Hosts:

• Sitting down to listen to Dr. Leah, Dr. Courtney, and Dr. Sylvia of 3 friends TALKis like sitting down to have a conversation with your girlfriends. Those precious moments we all treasure with our best friends feel familiar, whether over coffee or cocktails. 

Armed with their credentials and over 30 years of combined in-the-field experience, these three pharmacists, working in non-traditional roles, are your go-to for healthcare conversations with a twist. The show is centered around science-based truths presented in a relatable way. No fancy medical jargon here, but plain and clear language, making potentially life-saving information easily digestible for anyone and everyone. 

3 friends TALK is rooted in the culture. The show was created by three southern women forever bonded through their HBCU education at Xavier University. 3 friends TALK is grounded in sisterhood; a bond made stronger through each doctor’s individual commitment to her respective sorority; Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta, Inc., and Zeta Phi Beta, Inc. 

The goal of 3 friends TALK, is to share the truth about health — physical and mental health — with communities of color in a fun and engaging way, ensuring that listeners learn, know, apply, and share.
