Allison's Corner

There’s a quiet power in choosing yourself—and in this season finale of Allison’s Corner, Allison is reflecting on what it really means to become the woman you were always meant to be. This episode is part love letter, part journal entry, and part invitation to anyone who’s been learning how to be soft, set boundaries, and stand tall in their truth. We’re talking about:

• Why softness isn’t weakness—it’s a superpower
• How boundaries can be kind, clear, and life-changing
• What it looks like to stop chasing clarity and start choosing peace
• The deep work of letting go and learning to trust yourself
• Why becoming her isn’t a destination—it’s a daily decision

If you’ve been unlearning people-pleasing, outgrowing old versions of yourself, or reclaiming your voice—this episode is for you. So light a candle, pour your favorite drink, and join Allison for a heartfelt close to a season full of growth, grace, and becoming.

There’s something powerful about seeing yourself reflected back through the characters we watch on TV — the good, the messy, the beautiful becoming. In this episode, Allison is sharing five TV characters that she sees herself in, sometimes more than she even realized. These characters have shaped how Allison thinks about growth, identity, and all the in-between moments that make us who we are. We get into:

• Why certain characters stick with us like old friends
• The parts Allison recognizes of herself in each of the characters
• What each character is teaching Allison about herself

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, "Wait… am I actually her?" while watching your favorite show, this episode is for you. So grab your favorite snack, settle in, and let’s talk about the characters who get us — maybe even more than we get ourselves sometimes.

There’s something about a good coffee shop — the cozy vibes, the smell of fresh espresso, and the way it just feels like home. But what if coffee shops could be more than just a place to grab a latte? What if they became hubs for connection, creativity, and community — especially for Black women? In this episode, we are joined by Lienna Feleke-Eshete, founder of Black Girls Love Coffee Shops, to talk about the magic that happens when Black women gather in spaces intentionally made for us. We get into:

• The importance of creating safe, welcoming spaces for Black women to connect
• Why coffee shop culture often overlooks Black communities and how that’s starting to change
• The power of slow mornings, intentional rest, and simply being in community with one another
• How Lienna is using coffee (and community) as a form of resistance and joy

If you’ve ever craved a space where you can just be, laugh loudly, dream big, and connect with other Black women over a good cup of coffee — this episode is for you. So grab your favorite drink, find a cozy spot, and tune in. Because we deserve spaces made just for us — and we're building them.

With the 2024 election behind us and a second Trump presidency here, there's a lot of uncertainty about what America could look like moving forward. In this episode, we are joined by Tia Mitchell, a political journalist, to break down what a second Trump term might actually mean — for policy, culture, and the everyday lives of Americans. We get into:

• The possible economic shifts and who they’d benefit (or hurt)
• What a more emboldened Trump administration could look like in terms of immigration, healthcare, and education
• The social and cultural changes that could emerge — and why communities of color could be especially impacted
• How everyday people can prepare, protect themselves, and stay informed

This is a conversation you don’t want to miss — no matter where you stand politically. Because love him or hate him, the possibility of another four years of Trump would bring undeniable changes. Tune in, share your thoughts, and let us know where you stand after hearing this discussion.
