Do It For You Series - April Showers | All Gas No Brakes

🎙️ “Do It For You” — A Recurring Series Hosted by Christina Sledge

This season, Lounging with Christina & Eddie presents Do It For You — a recurring series hosted by award-winning media executive and storyteller Christina Sledge, spotlighting people who made the brave choice to put themselves first.

Each feature dives into real stories of self-care and self-accomplishment — from rebuilding after burnout to creating purpose from pain. Their journeys remind us that growth starts with one decision: to do it for you.

Tune in for inspiration, honesty, and a little motivation to choose yourself again and again.

In this episode, we're kicking off 2026 right, Christina sits down with April Showers, founder of Afro Unicorn, the first Black woman-owned, fully licensed character brand to launch in major retail. April shares her powerful All Gas, No Brakes mindset, the inner work behind her outward success, and what it truly means to build a legacy without losing yourself in the process.

From championing small businesses through her Small Business Saturdays initiative to creating a global movement rooted in joy, representation, and self-belief, April’s story is a living example of what happens when you commit to doing it for you, and invite others to do the same.

Tune in for an honest, affirming conversation about courage, clarity, and choosing yourself, even when the road is uncertain.

Because doing it for you isn’t selfish — it’s necessary.
