Diary of a Preacher's Kid- Real, Raw and Uncut

Being a preacher’s kid ain’t easy. The expectations, the silence, the pain—it all runs deep. But this ain’t just about church; it’s about life, love, loss, and the mess in between. I talk about family, friendships, grief, mental health, and what happens when the people who should love you the most let you down. No sugarcoating, no fake positivity—just raw, unfiltered truth. If you’ve ever felt abandoned, questioned everything, or struggled to heal, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it!!

Let’s talk about sex, baby...but not the version you were raised to fear. In this raw, uncensored, and wildly liberating episode, we are pulling up to the mic with no filter and every intention to set your whole body free. This is a call-in and call-out for Black women who grew up under the weight of silence, shame, and sexual suppression. We’re diving deep into the pleasure we were told to hide, the wetness we were taught to feel ...

Hey yall hey! This isn’t your church’s purity talk, and it sure as hell ain’t a crash course in repression. This is real conversation about sex—messy, sacred, complex, and wildly human. We’re breaking the silence on shame, pleasure, consent, queerness, kink, healing, and everything in between.

We are talking about all bodies, all dynamics—same-gender love, G-spots, BDSM, safe sex, sacred sex, loud sex, awkward sex, no sex—because it...

Baby, this week’s episode is like that! We’re continuing our series, Things My Mother Never Told Me, Purity Culture Edition, and whew, it’s getting juicy.

It’s giving healing, it’s giving truth, and it’s giving freedom. So grab your liquor and your bud, clutch your pearls, and get...

This one’s for the Black women who were taught how to endure, but never taught how to receive.

We were raised to be ride-or-die. To pray, press on, and keep quiet. But what if the love we were taught to accept… was never love at all?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the quiet wounds:

  • The lessons passed down from mamas who were just surviving

  • The way religion shaped our view of love, worth, and submission

  • Why being chosen ain’t the s...

Hey baby—there’s a lot our mothers never told us. And I don’t say that to place blame. I say that with love, with grief, and with a deep understanding that silence was survival for them. Our mothers, grandmothers, aunties—they loved us the best way they knew how. But when it came to things like depression, anxiety, trauma, or emotional regulation… most of them didn’t have the language, the tools, or the time. They were surviving sy...

    Hey yall hey! Let’s clear something up right out the gate: the crowd shouting “Hosanna” on Palm Sunday was not the same crowd yelling “Crucify Him” by Friday. That oversimplified version? It’s cute for a shout cue, but it doesn’t hold up under historical scrutiny.

    In this episode, we’re breaking down Holy Week with fresh eyes and raw truth. We’ll explore the political tension between the Jewish people and the Roman Empire, how corru...

    In a world that tells us to "just have faith" and smile through the pain, what happens to those of us who are barely holding it together? In this episode, we unpack the raw, radical truth of John 11:35—“Jesus wept.”

    This ain’t your typical Sunday school lesson.

    We’re talking about how the church—and the culture—silences grief, rage, anxiety, and despair in the name of faith. From the grief of Black folks during ongoing civil unrest, ...

    Whew… this one right here? It’s personal. We’re closing out the Grieving the Living series and wrapping up this whole church hurt convo—and trust, we’re not holding back.

    We’re talking about the kind of hurt that hits different. Hurt from leadership. Hurt from folks in the pews. The shady stuff from “secondary leadership” who swear they’re called but cause more chaos than comfort. And yeah, we’re sharing our own stories—the messy, c...

    Whewwww! This was a conversation we needed to have. In this episode, I dive into the real and raw truth about Black mental health and the Black church—how our faith has been a source of healing but also, at times, a barrier to getting the help we need. We talk about why so many of us avoid therapy, the harm of over-spiritualizing mental health struggles, and, most importantly, how we can do better.

    Listen, Jesus and therapy can go h...

    This ain't your typical "be still and know" episode—this is real talk about one of the hardest things to do when life gets messy: keeping quiet. When your character is under attack, when lies are being spread, when people are questioning your integrity, everything in you wants to defend yourself, clap back, and set the record straight. But what if the real test isn’t in proving your point but in trusting that God alre...

    Grief ain't just for the dead. Sometimes, it's for the ones still walking around, leaving you with a heart full of what-ifs. In this episode, we’re getting real about the gut-wrenching reality of grieving a living mom. Maybe she’s toxic, absent, or just never showed up the way you needed. That pain?

    Church hurt is one of the deepest wounds a person can experience because it comes from a place that was supposed to be safe, healing, and rooted in love. When that trust is broken—whether through betrayal, hypocrisy, manipulation, or exclusion—it can shake not only your faith in people but sometimes even your faith in God.


    Grieving church hurt is real, and it’s necessary. It’s okay to acknowledge the pain. It’s okay to admit th...

    Listen, being a single mom is not for the weak. You’re out here surviving postpartum hormones, dodging deadbeat dad excuses, and trying to secure a village that actually shows up. It’s giving superhero energy—but even superheroes need a break.

    In this episode, we’re talking about the real side of single motherhood. The late nights, the stretch marks, the “Oh, so you just sent that $20?” texts, and the struggle of balancing it all wh...

    Have you ever been ghosted? I mean talking today and they disappear tomorrow? In this episode, I’m talking about being ghosted by my best friend. We were tight, locked in, sharing dreams, secrets, and way too many inside jokes. And then? Vanished. No explanation, no closure—just radio silence. I’m breaking down the shock, the confusion, and the emotional rollercoaster of losing someone who was supposed to be forever. But more than ...

    Let me gone head and ask you something—what happens when the people who should have protected you become the ones who hurt you the most? And what happens when, instead of accountability, they choose to disappear—leaving you to grieve them like they died, when really, they just couldn’t face the truth?

    I didn’t walk away. I was walked away from. My father abused me. My family chose to act like it never happened. Instead of standing b...
