Hey lady! This week’s episode is for all of the mothers out there holding it down to make sure their babies have the best in life despite all of the stigma, obstacles, and challenges that can come with being a single mother in America.

Jamilah Lemieux, notable author and editor and Black Twitter media personality, joins Terri and Dr. Dom to discuss her new book Black.Single.Mother and her journey into wholeness as a woman, co-parent, and mother of a teenager.

Jamilah has a real and relatable conversation about how she processed the dissolution of her relationship, came to terms with rejection, and moved into a healthy co-parenting dynamic that still honors her needs and boundaries but keeps the focus on her daughter and what is best for her development.

Jamilah drops gems about the internal work she had to do to get to a place where she wasn’t recreating patterns based on her life experience. Some of the biggest work we will do as women is being able to become so full of ourselves – our light, our brilliance, our joy – that we are able to fill in the areas where we feel incomplete, broken, or unworthy. It is some of the most important work we can do if we want to raise healthy children that will walk into the world knowing their inherent worthiness and free from inherited feelings of lack. We want confident young people that grow into capable leaders and it starts with all of us – mother or not – freeing ourselves from shame and stigma.

So, tap in and get some real love from Jamilah and the ladies of Cultivating H.E.R. Space and find out why being a present, loving “baby mama” is something to be proud of, not ashamed.

Quote of the Day:

“Our people (and, really, the whole world) need a complete overhaul of their ideas about Black single motherhood.”

– Jamilah Lemieux

Whether you are looking for a good time, not a long time or ready to find your forever person, let this episode you guide you as you engage from a place of personal power, deep self-respect, and high self-regard.

Space episode if we didn’t help guide you into introspective work that will help you identify what you’re looking for in a partner and what you are bringing to the relationship. None of us are perfect and we’re all working on aspects of ourselves so head to the Cultivating H.E.R.

Questions You Can Ask to Reveal Someone’s Character

2. “What does a healthy relationship look like to you?”
3. “What are you currently working on within yourself?”
4. “How do you typically handle conflict?”
5. “What are your non-negotiables in relationships?”
6. “What brings you peace in your life right now?”
7. “What kind of partner do you want to be?”

Quote of the Day:

“Every person you date reflects something back to you—not to judge you, but to show you where you’ve healed, where you’re still growing, and where you’re ready to choose differently.”

Hey lady! Life is about balance. Newton states that for every action and equal and opposite reaction takes place. Every act of cruelty, injustice, and genuinely that we see currently seems overwhelming, which is why Dr. Dom and Terri prioritize sharing moments of joy, fun, and pleasure on the show.

This week, Dr. Dom and Terri are delighted to welcome Dr. Nikki Coleman, an award-winning licensed psychologist, sexologist, and founder of Dr. Nikki Knows, PLLC, to discuss why making pleasure your focus is a worthwhile endeavor for a healthy life.

Dr. Nikki breaks down some of the misconceptions Black women tell ourselves about pleasure, why some women struggle to have the orgasms they deserve, and ways women can advocate for themselves and their pleasure with their partners.

Lady, don’t let the pressures of life steal your joy. Learn how to release in ways that feel fulfilling and satisfying. If you want the real tea of how to up your pleasure tune into the Aftershow where Dr. Nikki joins Terri and Dr. Dom for the real lowdown on what it means to be sexy at any age.

If you are looking for community and you’re in the Houston-area, join Dr. Nikki March 7, 2026 for an intimate gathering where she’ll help guide you into true intimacy with yourself.

Quote of the Day:

“So you’re just never gonna have sex again because you don’t like this body?”

Hey lady! If you believe that the children are the future then this week’s episode is for you. Drs. Ann Ishimaru and Decoteau J. Irby are two dynamic scholars who join Dr. Dom and Terri to lay out a purposeful perspective that can help you gain clarity in your plans for creating equitable outcomes for all children. This episode isn’t just for parents. This episode is for anyone who knows that the strength of the community includes all of its citizens, especially children.

Drs. Ishimaru and Irby are educators and scholars who are passionate about creating a path forward despite the clear signs of society regressing. The two offer views into what themes they are seeing across schools, districts, and communities, and why this moment is both new and completely different.

In their book Doing the Work of Equity Leadership for Justice and Systems Change the scholars offer clear foundational elements to building a more equitable future for our young people. They also lay out small but powerful actions parents can take to be in a healthy and engaged relationship with the educators of their community. Tune in for the specific questions that they provide parents and community members to use in their daily lives.

Lady, by now it’s clear. We’re all in this together. Let’s get excited about our work to build the world we wish to leave our children. Tap in and holla at us in our Patreon community about how you plan to build a table where our children are welcome.

Hey lady! We know that right now the onslaught of news is hard to escape. Everyday there is a new anxiety-inducing development, a new manufactured fear to distract us from our mission’s work. We’re here to tell you that if you are having a hard time keeping your head up, you are not alone. What we’re experiencing is not normal, which is why Terri and Dr. Dom invited friend of the show and American Psychological Association President Dr. Wendi Williams to have a heart-to-heart about the psychological toll that’s being levied onto the American populace, particularly Black women.

Not only are we witnessing horrendous injustices, confusing schemes, and a barrage of misinformation from the administration but we are witnessing a targeted attack on the Black woman worker in the economy. Dr. Wendi breaks down the historical implications of the reported 300,000 Black women who have suffered job loss or prolonged absence from the workforce. She states that the number is actually higher. You’ll have to tune in to hear why. Dr. Wendi also talks about why her role as the president of the American Psychological Association is critical as we begin to imagine the solutions that will help us fight our way out of this mess.

Dr. Wendi keeps it real about the moment we’re in, but she offers perspective that will inspire hope in your heart.

Lady, by now you know we all we got. Hold tight to your sister friends and send them this episode so we can keep each other uplifted and informed. Dr. Wendi offers a powerful antidote to the evil we’re seeing with a vision of life where we finally create a world that is sustainable for us to thrive!

Keep your head to the sky lady and check out the resources below for additional support, should you need it. If you’re searching for your tribe join us on Patreon where other Black women are walking boldly on their path to empowerment. You’ll fit right in!

Lady! This week Terri and Dr. Dom welcome powerhouse visionary Ashley McGirt-Adair to Cultivating H.E.R. Space to broaden your awareness to additional tools and resources available to you as you travel along your healing path. Ashley is a dynamic trailblazer who listened to her inner wisdom and allowed that internal voice to guide her as she built a thriving clinical practice and foundation geared towards helping Black women afford the mental health care we so often need.

Ashley is the founder of the Therapy Fund Foundation, a nonprofit focused on eliminating barriers to mental health care in Black and historically excluded communities. She is also the author of the forthcoming book, The Cost of Healing in Silence: Navigating Racial Trauma and the Call for Culturally Responsive Care. Ashley keeps it real about the barriers that keep Black women from tending to themselves and how she found the courage to step out on faith and build the phenomenal service she’s offering to the world.

Since slavery Black Americans have experienced a litany of traumatic events and have somehow managed to survive to this present day. The issue is that until we, collectively, address those numerous traumas and all of their manifestations we will continue to just do that – survive. Ashley and her team want us to thrive and they are committed to connecting Black women with culturally attuned and responsive providers who are equipped to navigate the complex and layered issues that we face.

Lady, there are many forces in this world that are designed to weigh you down and discourage you from reaching your full potential. But, like the sea turtles making their pilgrimage to the water you, too, can make the arduous trek from being broken and in pieces to being in your power. Tune in to today’s episode for actionable steps and resources you can access right now!

Don’t forget you can also book a consultation with Dr. Dom so that you can establish your team of providers ready to help you breakthrough to your next level.

We love you for real, lady!
