When culture meets transparency, you get conversations like this. Pour Minds, the unapologetic weekly podcast hosted by Lex P and Drea Nicole has just dropped one of its most moving episodes yet,“CiCi’s Prayer” featuring none other than Ciara.
Fresh off being honored with Ciara Day in the city of Atlanta, the multi-platinum recording artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist sat down with Lex and Drea for a heart-to-heart that was equal parts faith-filled and fiercely inspiring.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, Ciara recently opened a fully renovated dance studio at the John H. Harland Boys & Girls Club through the Why Not You Foundation, which she co-founded with husband Russell Wilson. Designed as a space for movement, education, and mentorship, it’s another bold step in her mission to empower Atlanta’s youth.
The conversation unfolded like a masterclass in balance—how to nurture your dreams while staying anchored in your values. Ciara opened up about her dual citizenship in Benin and deepening connection to her African heritage, building her skincare brand OAM Skin, co-owning Ten To One Rum, and crafting her upcoming album CiCi, set to release August 22.
She also spoke candidly about marriage, motherhood, and her personal definition of submission in a healthy, equally yoked relationship. And of course, she touched on the deeper meaning behind “the prayer” that has resonated with women everywhere, reminding us that faith isn’t just a chapter in her story, it’s the throughline.
“Ciara offered insight not just into her public success, but the private values that anchor her,” Lex P shared. Drea Nicole added, “This conversation felt like sitting with someone who’s walked through every season and is still choosing joy, peace, and purpose.”
For Pour Minds, this wasn’t just another celebrity interview—it was a moment that captured the beauty of Black women leading with intention, love, and legacy. And in true Pour Minds fashion, it was unfiltered, honest, and dripping in realness.
