The Black Girl Burnout podcast is dedicated to helping black women learn how to opt-out of the mentality of struggle while also learning how to opt-into the life of joy, abundance, and good health, which is their birthright. Burnout can manifest in a variety of ways, including feelings of exhaustion, cynicism, and a lack of accomplishment. It is totally ok if you are experiencing more than one of the feelings at the same time. Being able to fully align with your truth is a significant sign of strength. The ultimate goal of the podcast is to help women achieve Opting Out of Struggle.

GUEST BIO: Kirbee Miller

Kirbee Miller is the Owner and Chief Experience Officer of KiNiMi Kitchen and founder of Kirbee + Co., a community-driven business that cultivates immersive experiences to promote inclusion and connection. After moving to Nashville, Kirbee experienced the city’s vast culinary influences of traditional Southern to multicultural international cuisines and was inspired by the community forming through this impactful part of Nashville’s culture.

Kirbee launched her multi dimensional brand around the idea that food is a powerful equalizer leading to beautiful conversation and connection. This brand has taken Kirbee on a global journey.

However, Kirbee’s road to entrepreneurship through passion and creativity has not been without hardship. On New Year’s Eve 2018, her parents were critically injured in a car accident, leaving Kirbee to spend many months sleeping in the hospital, advocating for her parents’ care, and ultimately this experience has reinforced Kirbee’s commitment to creating inclusive and meaningful moments that Nourish.

Kirbee has grown a committed following through group culinary experiences, television appearances, event hosting, moderating keynote speaking and her guided cookbook + journal: NOURISH | A Guide to Coming Home to Yourself.

Kirbee + Co.’s mission is to use voice and creativity to meaningfully cultivate connections.
