  • Informative!

    I’m 47 and I listen to Mandee everyweek. I love her solo episodes and wash day wusa, her brown tables. I even listen to episodes multiple times because her voice is unique. Keep up the good work Mandee!

  • Best show ever😊

    I enjoy listening to Brown Ambition during my walks around the neighborhood. Mandi shares insightful information and guidance on how to navigate the workforce.

    I’m a fabulous 56 year old who 2-years ago decided to make a job transition. I NEVER knew I had the option to negotiate pay offers. I nervously followed one of Mandi’s scripts and the low job offer the agency presented more than doubled after I confidently expressed my value and showcased how they needed me. Thank you Mandi🤩
