  • Conversation with a Ghost

    In this episode I got the opportunity to chat with T.R.3 aka The Ghost of Atlanta. This is just 40 minutes of an over 2 hour conversation. I met him maybe a week and half before filming and only knew of him a month in total. His TikTok is what got me interested because is an out of this world artist. The way he sees the world and his ability to interpret it into art is something to be truly admired. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Follow him on Instagram @tr3worldx and myself @imdime

  • Identity???

    In this episode, I dive into the journey of realizing identity and what it means to claim who you are becoming without apology. I discuss embracing my queerness, channeling the kind of effortless confidence Snoop Dogg carries, and surrendering to the version of myself that feels most aligned with where im going! This is about shedding performance, honoring truth, and becoming the person I was always meant to be.

  • Living Right: An Artist Perspective

    I was originally going to title this episode how much good until you go bad, but that felt too long! I fell on the current title because this ended up being a continuation of me questioning if I was living right. So, in this episode of Becoming Great, I dive into the ongoing Kendrick vs. Drake beef—not just as entertainment, but as a reflection of something deeper. Beyond the diss tracks and power plays, this feud speaks to the struggle between legacy, morality, and the choices we make when we’re faced with power, ego, and public perception.


    I tie this back to real life: How much good can you do until you go bad? Is it inevitable? Can you stay true to your morals in a world that rewards manipulation? Where do we draw the line between authenticity and kayfabing? Tap in as we explore these questions and my pursuit of finding Greatness!
