This is more than a podcast; we dive deep into the issues that matter most to women—and men. Hosted by a dynamic duo Erica Lester and Dr. Jubril Wilson — an accomplished, serious-minded female professional and a fun, expressive male entrepreneur—this podcast offers both female and male perspectives on the tough topics that often go unspoken, like celibacy, infertility, and infidelity.


With a strong bond built on mutual respect and years of life experience, our hosts lead deep, engaging conversations that resonate with listeners. Each episode features special guests and experts who enrich the dialogue, providing well-rounded insights. Though the focus is on women’s issues, male voices are essential in our discussions, especially when it comes to relationships.


Tune in to the Purposed & Powerful Podcast and be part of a conversation that is intelligent, relatable, and real.
