If you’ve been outside for Carnival, you’ve heard his work — even if you didn’t know his name.

XplicitMevon (Mevon Soodeen) is the producer everybody’s calling when they need a riddim that moves crowds… and in this episode, XplicitMevon gets real with Basia about why he wanted to share his story on the #1 Caribbean North American media platform, Basia TV Podcast; how he became one of the most sought-after names in Soca; and how he’s redefining and helping push the Soca genre globally.

And BasiaTVPodcast couldn’t ignore the wave. We had to sit down with him!

🎙️ In this conversation, XplicitMevon breaks down:

🔥 The story before the studio… who Mevon was before the music

🎙️ JUST BASIA | Silent Season Series Finale

Episode Title: Why God Removes People Before He Elevates You

Sometimes the room gets quiet before your life goes higher.

In this final episode of the Silent Season Series, Basia delivers a powerful message about what it means when people start disappearing, access changes, and relationships fall away — not because you failed, but because you’re transitioning.

This episode is a reminder that:

✨ Before elevation comes separation

✨ God changes your circle before He changes your location

✨ Self-love requires deletion

✨ Focus demands elimination

✨ Silence exposes who was only there for the noise

✨ Betrayal can come before breakthrough

If you’ve been feeling the shift… if your circle is changing… if you’ve been grieving relationships, questioning the silence, or feeling called to move differently — this message is for you.

This is not rejection.

This is alignment.

This is preparation.

This is your Silent Season.

💬 Watch to the end and ask yourself: Do you want to be available… or do you want to be valuable to your purpose?

The Grown Folks’ Guide To Dating w/Tennesha Wood

🎙️EPISODE 🚨NOW STREAMING🚨

Dating today is not for the weak—especially when you’re grown, you’ve lived a little, and you’re no longer entertaining “potential” without proof.

In this episode of The Basia TV Podcast, Basia is joined by co-host RJ (from the ZViewz family) and returning guest Tennesha Wood, dating coach and matchmaker as seen on Bravo, Good Morning America, the Today Show, and featured in Essence, InStyle and People Magazines to name a few, and also founder of The Broom List Matchmaking—for The Grown Folks Guide to Dating: a real conversation about standards, alignment, emotional maturity, and what intentional dating actually looks like in your 30s, 40s, and beyond.

We get into the real questions people are afraid to ask:

✨How do you move from chaotic online dating to quality, intentional connections?

✨How do you navigate today’s more fluid dating landscape with honesty and respect?

✨What self-sabotaging habits do successful people bring into dating without realizing?

✨And for Gen Z? RJ brings the heat with real-life questions about dating with debt, financial expectations, and how to filter for serious people in a culture that loves games.

Plus, we lighten it up with The Pepper Pot lightning round—because grown folks can be intentional and have fun.

🎙️ JUST BASIA — “WHO YOU BECOME WHILE WAITING IS THE REAL ANSWER” (The Silent Season Series)

Waiting is uncomfortable… especially when you’ve done everything “right.” You prayed. You prepared. You showed up. And still… nothing moved. No response. No breakthrough. Just silence.

In this episode, Basia talks to the person who feels overlooked, stalled, or forgotten—and she tells the truth nobody wants to hear (but everybody needs): God often answers prayers by changing the person who prayed. While you’re focused on what you’re waiting for… God is focused on who you’re becoming.

Basia breaks down why the waiting season isn’t empty—it’s instructional:

✨ impatience gets stripped

✨ entitlement dies

✨ wisdom replaces urgency

✨ your character catches up to your prayers.

She shares how some of her best ideas—and later successes—came from seasons that looked like “nothing.” She also opens up about her breast cancer diagnosis and how that Silent Season transformed her perspective, her priorities, and her gratitude for life.

And then Basia goes deeper—into the part we don’t like to admit: the ego. Because in silence, the ego has nowhere to hide. No noise. No validation. No applause. Just truth. And that’s where emotional maturity, vulnerability, authenticity, and accountability finally begin.

This episode is a reminder that: Your results won’t arrive until you’re ready… and readiness happens in silence. You don’t chase what’s meant for you—you attract it when you’re prepared to sustain it.

So if God feels quiet right now… don’t panic. Silence doesn’t mean abandonment. It means alignment. What feels like delay is actually design. What feels like nothing is actually construction. Because when God finally answers… You won’t just receive the blessing—you’ll be able to keep it. 🤍

💬 Question for you: What are you being asked to develop in this waiting season—discipline, patience, confidence, healing, or faith? And how do you usually respond to silence… do you rush, or do you refine? Share this with someone who needs encouragement in their Silent Season.

Autism doesn’t come with a handbook — it comes with questions, fear, love… and a whole lot of learning on the job.

In this powerful episode of the Basia TV Podcast, Basia is joined by Emily Kafle, Principal of Autism Collier Charter School in Naples, Florida — a seasoned educator with over two decades of experience in special education, school leadership, and program development.

Basia speaks as both a mother raising a son on the spectrum and a woman who understands the late-night spirals: “Am I doing enough?” “Did I miss a sign?” “What does the future look like?” And together, Basia and Emily Kafle talk about what autism looks like in real life: the early signs, the school experience, the emotional weight on families, and the hope that comes when support meets understanding.

In this episode, some of the topics that Basia and Ms. Kafle cover include:

🔹Why autism diagnoses are being recognized more — and what the numbers actually tell us

🔹Early signs that can appear as young as 18–24 months, and why early identification can change outcomes

🔹What “early intervention” really means (beyond the buzzwords) and where parents can start without feeling overwhelmed

🔹Why autism can present differently in girls, and why so many girls are diagnosed later or misdiagnosed

🔹The truth about communication: why non-verbal does not mean non-communicative, and how families can learn to “listen” in new ways … and much more! This conversation is for the parent who’s been up at 2 a.m. searching for answers, the caregiver who’s felt unheard, and anyone who wants to understand autism beyond the labels and statistics — because autism isn’t a limitation… it’s a different way of experiencing the world, and understanding changes everything. If this episode resonates, please share it with a parent, educator, or caregiver who needs the reminder: you are not alone, you are doing your best, and your child’s journey is worthy of support! 💬 Question: What’s one thing you wish someone told you at the beginning of your autism journey — or one thing you want the world to understand better about autism?

🎙️ Episode Title: “HEALING IS NOT LOUD!” (The Silent Season Series)

Healing isn’t loud… it’s quiet. 🤍

Sometimes healing is so silent… you might mistake it for loneliness—especially if you’ve spent years surrounded by noise, people, distractions, and survival mode.

In this episode, Basia reflects on how her silent seasons BUILT her as she learned that healing won’t begin until you admit the hard truth:

🔹You don’t need more success.

🔹You don’t need more achievements.

🔹You need healing‼️

Because trauma doesn’t disappear just because you ignore it. It grows, then eventually shows up in relationships, decisions, and emotional reactions. And that’s why healing requires stillness… because silence isn’t emptiness… it’s a mirror!

So if life feels quiet right now… know this:

You’re not being punished.

You’re being prepared.

This is not your lonely season… this is your healing season. 🌿

💬 Let’s talk: Have you ever mistaken your healing season for loneliness?

🎙️ Episode Title: “NEXT LEVEL... LESS PEOPLE!” (The Silent Season Series)

Here's something that might make you uncomfortable… but it might also set you free: Your next level will not come with a crowd… No applause… No cheer section… And definitely not with everyone you started with.

In this episode, Basia breaks down the truth about circles—and why leveling up this year (emotionally, spiritually, financially, mentally) may require you to cleanse your circle without guilt and without explanation.

Basia unpacks the 3 types of people around you:

✨ Enablers

🔥 Blockers

🤍 Real Lifers

And gives you a simple 4-step circle cleanse… Because a rocket has to shed weight to take off… and so do you. 🚀

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of needing permission, tired of explaining, and ready to let the results introduce them.

💬 Discussion time: What’s harder for you—cutting off a blocker or creating distance from an enabler?

BASIA TV PODCAST WITH JUST BASIA

🎙️ Episode Title: “THE VERSION OF ME THAT HAD TO GO” (The Silent Season Series)

The “Yes Girl" had to go... not because she was bad... but because she was exhausted!! In this episode, Basia breaks down some of the things that so many of us struggle to name:

✨ The addiction to being needed.

✨ The habit of “performing” for love.

✨ And what happens when you finally stop being everybody’s rescuer… Because the people who benefitted most from the version of you that had to go are usually the angriest when she’s gone!

Boundaries reveal everything... when you stop:

✅ answering draining calls…

✅ paying for debts you didn't create…

✅ showing up out of guilt… that's when their “love" expires because it was never love... it was access.

So in your Silent Season, if you’ve been feeling like your circle is smaller… your phone is quieter… and your spirit feels different, but lighter?

You’re not lonely…

You’re healing!

The new version of you deserves peace.

🎙️ Episode Title: “WHEN GOD GOES QUIET, THAT’S WHEN HE’S WORKING!” (The Silent Season Series)

When you pray… and all you hear back is silence… it can feel like heaven hit “ignore.” 😔

In this episode, Basia gives this reminder… God’s silence is not absence — it’s activity.

Sometimes there’s no sign, no sound, no instant breakthrough… and that’s exactly when doubt tries to move in. You start asking: Did God hear me? Did He forget me?

But the truth is—God doesn’t work in noise. He works in silence. Sometimes the delay is protection.

Sometimes it’s growth. Sometimes… it’s God saving you from “Tyrone.” 😅 (You know the one.)

So if you’re in your Silent Season, don’t assume God is gone. Assume He’s building. Aligning. Correcting. Preparing.

Pray with quiet confidence. Wait with a smile. Because His silence might be the loudest proof your breakthrough is under construction. 🙏🏽

It started in the Caribbean and is a story of leaving her home in the twin isles of Trinidad and Tobago, building identity in a new country, and refusing to shrink in rooms where she was never expected to lead.

In this episode, Basia sits down with Dr. Rhonda McEwen, a woman who embodies excellence, resilience, and representation at the highest level, and who is one of the very few Black women — besides being one of the very few women of color—to serve as a university president in all of North America. She is a trailblazer in STEM, a champion of equity, and a storyteller who helped shape Julia, Sesame Street’s first autistic Muppet. But what makes her story hit even deeper? She’s built this legacy while navigating the beautiful, real-world responsibilities of motherhood to two children, including a child on the autism spectrum—showing us what holistic leadership truly looks like.

We’re talking:

🎓 Leadership + legacy

🌍 Cultural pride + immigrant identity

🧠 Neurodiversity + integrating special needs into institutions

🔥 Breaking barriers in academia—without losing yourself

If you’re a woman of color, Caribbean, immigrant, a parent in the neurodiverse community, or you simply believe inclusive leadership matters—this conversation is for you.
