August 3, 2026 • 61 mins
I want to die knowing I shared everything I was supposed to. The ability to share your gifts should never be taken lightly but  sometimes we let fear and uncertainty keep us from doing just that. Today Nhi'Sha and I get into growing more comfortable sharing ourselves with the world and everything that comes with it.

Revenge of the whimsical blk woman ft.Carmmonet

July 20, 2026 • 73 mins
Living authentically is a journey and there are times where you question if your natural state of being is "wrong". You’ll think that maybe giving up a part of yourself will grant you peace and safety.. but that's a lie. Eventually you realize it's a trap and giving up your light/ whimsy is THE LAST thing you should be doing. In fact, shining even BRIGHTER  is the best revenge towards anyone or anything that told you to ...

Connecting the Dots ft. Dante Hoskins

June 23, 2025 • 46 mins
We back with another one!   On the last episode Dante and I ironically spoke about some topics that would end up being in the movie Sinners. We didn’t know it at the time but we were definitely on similar wavelengths as the movie. Today we’re connecting the dots from the movie to real life.

Rest....Regroup...Never Retreat

September 30, 2024 • 2 mins
Today's episode is more like a love letter. I created this poem for those times when the journey gets rough and we have those doubts. Don't take these words as you should never rest and you need to "keep grinding" til worn out... Please rest.. please regroup but during that resting period try not to convince yourself out of the things you know are in your heart & spirit.
