Don't Hold Back

It's been a year...a whole year since we all went home in March of 2020 and expected that this would only last for a few weeks. A year later, Alixx and I take a moment to reflect on grief, our last day outside, and how we cannot wait to go to the movies. Listen to us as Alixx tells us about her job as an EMT and how we all need to give more grace to each other.

Last episode of 2020!!!!! Syedah comes on the podcast to talk about black people getting superpowers, lessons we learned this year, and how black people stay "black peopling." This year has been nothing short of a ride so listen to us laugh and crack jokes as we send 2020 off in style! See you all in 2021!

It's Nov. 5th, 2020. Two things are true: we still don't know who the president is and Margaret and I are not having a good week. We chat about our coping mechanisms the past few days, Margaret's almost suppressed vote, my sudden illness, and my quota of white people. Through the laughs and realization that our democracy is truly doomed, Margaret talks to me about the hard conversations she has with her white peers about racism, politics, and everything in between.

Today's episode features Dre, who is a friend of mine and someone who I've been trying to collaborate with forever now! We decided to do an episode surrounding the show Insecure by Issa Rae. Our focus was on a storyline concerning ghosting and how it correlates to mental illness. We touch on many subjects today and of course have fun along the way! Enjoy the episode!

Ever had a week when you worked 7 days straight? Well that is me this week and I wanted to share a few tips on what to do when you have a work marathon. Things like sleeping and eating are the most important. Listen to me ramble for 15 minutes on how I am surviving hectic work week!

This has been a very stressful week in society, so Paula and I decided to talk about something light and fun! We sat down to discuss monogamy and what that looks like in our world, as well as polyamory and if we could practice that in our lives. Thanks to Paula for joining me this episode, it was a fun time!!!!

Don't Hold Back has returned from its hiatus! In this episode, I give y'all some personal updates as well as a run down of the recent societal events that grabbed my attention. This episode is short and sweet and I look forward to creating more episodes in the upcoming weeks! Thank you for listening!

This week I take a moment to discuss the gruesome murder of Nia Wilson, an 18 year old black woman who was killed on a train station in the Bay Area by a white man. Her death along with countless other events this week, reinforce the idea that black women are not protected and cared for in this society. Listen to my thoughts and of course feel free to reach. This is an episode to and for black women.

This week I return with some data from a "research project" I embarked on. Online dating is prevalent in our generation; there is no doubt that people are turning to the internet to find love...and whatever else. In the second part of this two part episode, I talk to Shondrea who knows way more about dating apps than I do. She also explains the coffee and bagel app!! z
