Crazy Black Girl
Crazy” was never the insult they thought it was. Crazy Black Girl is an honest conversation about faith, mental health, and what Black women carry quietly. Hosted by Shatara Jewell, psychiatric nurse practitioner, the show sits with the hard stretch instead of skipping to the part where it resolved. Nothing here is treatment or advice. It’s the conversation you needed someone to have first.

This week on the Crazy Black Girl Podcast, I’m sharing a story I’ve carried for a long time.
For years, I tried to prove a painful moment from my teenage years wrong through achievement. On paper, I had everything I was supposed to want. But I wasn’t living. I was performing a version of myself that convinced everyone, including me, that I was okay. Then, in a therapist’s office, one question stopped me: &ldq...
You Knew Me Then, Not Now | Featuring Bee
Sometimes it takes losing your freedom to discover what it truly means to live.
This week on the Crazy Black Girl Podcast, I'm joined by Bee for a raw and unapologetic conversation about choices, consequences, gratitude, and becoming someone different from who you used to be.
Before serving 18 months in prison, Bee was drawn to the fast life. But what happens when the life you thought you want...
When a young man is accused of something terrible, who gets to be somebody's son first, and who is a monster before the sentence is finished? This week I put the Cornell fraternity case next to the Central Park Five and look at how each story was told: the photos, the ages, the past, and who got to speak. This isn't about guilt or innocence. It's about how the first telling sets the verdict before the facts arrive, and what narrati...
I almost gave up on Crazy Black Girl Podcast.
Not because I had nothing left to say, but because life changed and so did I. I wasn’t sure this podcast still fit the woman I was becoming.
Turns out, it didn’t need to.
In this comeback episode, I’m talking about where I’ve been, what happened when I found myself an emotional wreck, and why I decided it was time to bring Crazy Black Girl back.
The conversations are...
On Monday, a grand jury decided no one will be charged in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells. His cause of death is still undetermined, and his family still doesn't have answers.
In this episode, I talk about what this news brings up for me as the mother of a Black son, why stories like Nolan's fade from the headlines, and what it does to us to keep living through the same ending. I also talk about how to carry this kind of grief ...
I was driving to Waffle House with Whitney Houston playing, already knowing I was about to order the All-Star Special, and my hands would not stop shaking.
The accident was over. But apparently, my body didn’t get the memo.
A few weeks earlier, my car hydroplaned on a two-lane road in North Carolina. My sister was in the passenger seat, and for a second, I really thought that was it.
I walked away with a sprained ankle, a seatbe...
From Atlanta’s Trap Museum to a quiet conversation with God, this episode is about survival, surrender, and everything in between.
I came home from culture, music, and community to a flu, a kidney infection, and a wake-up call. Somewhere between dehydration and overthinking, I realized I’ve been carrying backup plans for my backup plans trying to outthink the future before it arrives.
This is a conversation about anxiety ...
In this special episode of the Crazy Black Girl Podcast, I’m joined by my very first guest — my daughter, Naomi. We share a candid, heartfelt conversation about life, academics, entrepreneurship, and the lessons she’s learning as a young girl navigating her own path. She offers honest advice for girls her age, and I couldn’t be more proud or excited to have her on the mic with me. This episode is full o...
In this episode, I share a personal experience about an opportunity I deeply wanted but didn’t receive and how that disappointment led me into a season of depression. Over time, I realized that what I wanted wasn’t what God had planned for me.
This conversation explores how missed opportunities can actually be moments of divine redirection, not rejection. We talk about trusting God’s timing, learning discernment, a...

In this episode of Crazy Black Girl, we’re talking about the power of choice—the decision to rise above fear, self-doubt, and stagnation and step into the better life God has already prepared for you. Jewell reflects on what it means to choose better, to be the light in dark spaces, and to allow God to work through you, even when it feels uncomfortable or uncertain. Get ready for a heart check, a mindset shift, and a re...
Have you ever felt like you're not qualified, incapable, or don’t belong—even when you’re right where you’ve been called to be? That quiet voice that says, “You’re not enough”? That’s imposter syndrome—and you’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into the roots of imposter syndrome and why it shows up in so many of our lives. But more important...
In this episode of Crazy Black Girl, we’re talking about surrender—what it means to trust God fully. Surrender isn’t about giving up; it’s about releasing control and allowing God to lead. But let’s be real—it’s not always easy. How do we surrender when life feels uncertain? How do we release fear, anxiety, and the need to have all the answers?
We’ll start with gratitude, grounding our...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
