NOW What! Blog Talk Radio  

Can strong women be too independent? Should married women have their own bank accounts or does that mean they aren't committed to the marriage?  Are strong women.... married or single... TOO strong for today's man?  Should finances even play a part in relationships or does that kill the romance? It's Part II of our discussion on NowWhat! Blog Talk Radio!

That's right... it is Part II of our discussion about what women really want.  Last week we got in to a heated discussion about whether a woman should have her own resources once she is married.  We also got into a debate about whether strong, independent women may be intimidating to men.  It was too much for one show so they are back…

A true Renaissance woman, my longtime friend and former co-worker Layla Nielsen got them going last week when she expressed the views of many women- that you can be in love, you can love your husband- but you should “have your own money”.  Beautiful, talented and outspoken, Layla is a mother, wife, and successful career woman who will bring her honest and insightful views of love and happiness to the show again this week.  Check out her website at www.hellobeautiful.com which celebrates beautiful, strong, Black women.  In her blog, entitled “Feminist Revealed,” Layla discusses a wide range of topics effecting woman encouraging us to tap into our inner sexuality, power, and wisdom. To keep her "own" money flowing, Layla holds it down in her day job as a Regional Web Manager with Radio One where she manages the sales, marketing, and programming efforts of over 30 radio station websites on the East Coast.

Then there will be me, your host, Danielle Ricks.  I like to think of myself as an accomplished career woman, marathon dater (not by choice mind you), and all around seeker of truth regarding male/female dynamics and relationships.  I’ll be keeping the discussion going and the energy flowing.
