Hey Friends & Kin!

WELCOME TO SEASON TWO OF HAND ME MY PURSE THE PODCAST...

Today I wanted to just talk about some light and good energy things. Nothing heavy, just talk. I don’t want to boggle anyone down with anything too deep.  The damn year just started and Honeychile, about a week or so ago white supremacists were climbing walls, breaking into government buildings & stealing things. They were “STORMING THE CAPITOL” as they so eloquently put it. Nobody has room for a lot of heavy energy - this episode I will just keep it LIGHT like a feather, but still relevant and relatable!

This episode is a conversation about Queen Mother, Mary Jane Blige: her legacy, the gifts she’s given to us. This week she celebrated her 50th birthday & from the looks of it she is living her best life and looking better than EVER. Set goals, not resolutions. Realistic goals with a plan to execute and achieve!  I also take a dive into Jazmine Sullivan’s new album, “Heaux Tales”.  The album really gives listeners a glimpse into what being a woman looks like when we talk in depth about matters of love, trauma, lust & insecurities.  The album is PHENOMENAL & there is something on there that I can imagine EVERY woman can relate to.

This episode is a quick check in with my FAVORITE bartender & mixologist - Gina of The Bedroom Bartender.  It's the HAND ME MY PURSE Holiday Adult Beverage episode.  We are in the midst of a pandemic (or as Raegan calls it - A PANINI) & we have to find ways to make sure we can maintain or create traditions.  The goal is to not go insane this holiday season.  A holiday during this Coronavirus Pandemic so weird & kinda hard to fathom, even thought we are LIVING THROUGH IT - so let's have fun and make the best of it by SIPPING ON SOME JOYFUL ADULT BEVERAGES. It's what we do here at HAND ME MY PURSE - we DRANKS!!! 

Gina gives us PLENTY of options for enjoying the holiday and entertaining folks in person (small groups only that you are safe around) & on ZOOM! We had a good time, Gina curated and created a drink and helped me make it.  And well, I was tipsy by the time I was done. It was fun. A highlight for my Christmas week! I hope you enjoy & try some of the drinks Gina told us to try.  If you do, PLEASE LET ME KNOW via Instagram DM or a post about Holiday drinking that I am sure you will find on Instagram as well. 

Happy Holidays from your FAVORITE AUNTIE, MeMe Walker. 

Also, I created the music all by myself. I am proud of myself. LOL

This episode is a celebration of the completion of the INAUGURAL season of Hand Me My Purse the podcast. I was able to be in conversation with some of my avid listeners, via a Friday Night Zoom Party – including some of my cousins, guests of the show this season, and people I’ve never met but that LOVE Hand Me My Purse. The common denominator is that they all love Hand Me My Purse and are regular listeners.  We got a chance to really chop it up and dive deep into what Hand Me My Purse was all about in Season One, what they’d love to see in Season Two and we even did the “STRAIGHT FACTS” segment together. It was like those reality show reunions, without the drama and fighting. It was a celebration. We ALL had something to sip on and it was a STRAIGHT UP good time.  I talked about the Hand Me My Purse origin story and shared some of my favorite moments of the season.  We laughed, we drank all different kinds of beverages, we were merry and my guests got to ask me questions about the process, or really anything they wanted to ask. In this final episode of Season One, I stayed true to the tagline for Hand Me My Purse - it was a conversation with everyone’s favorite auntie… Me!

Hey Friends & Kin!

Let me start out by saying there is a LOT of profanity in this episode. If you don’t think you can handle that – SKIP THIS ONE! But PLEASE, don’t skip it because it is absolutely AMAZING…

This episode is a little lengthy, but I can guarantee it won't feel like it because the conversation flows like water. This is a BEAUTIFULLY RAW CONVERSATION with my actual therapist! Yes, the therapist I talk about almost EVERY single episode.  We end up discussing so many things - from navigating unhealthy relationships, Cardi B. & Lil’ Kim’s mental health issues, Pussy Power, WAP (I showed her the music video for the first time), different ways of parenting without violence & I have a breakthrough in the midst of it all. I can promise you that it is worth every single second of your ear time. So, if you want to hear a conversation between a girl and her therapist that is thought provoking and may shift how you process some of your ways of navigating through life - PRESS PLAY!!!

Hey Friends & Kin!

A very transparent, no holds barred conversation with artist, momma, educator & all around DOPE AF sista – Marcia Jones. We dish about our love for the STARZ television series,  P-Valley & it’s spiritual connection to Africa (SPOILER ALERT).  Marcia breaks down the concept that she birthed, "Displaced Oshun Theory" - it's good stuff.  We also discuss the state of Black TV,  toxic mommas , Tyler Perry, Black folks & religion/spirituality (the Holy Ghost, the Orishas & MORE!!!).  We talk about SO MANY THINGS!!!

There is a conversation around how and why we both walked away from practicing our art & Marcia shares how she feels about her connection to Africa as a Black American with heavy Native American roots -  speaking of Indigenous People’s Day...

We talk about so so so so many things!!! TRUST ME YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO IT ALL. It's an absolutely MANIFICENT conversation. Believe what I'm saying to you.

Hey Friends & Kin!

A conversation ALL about how we can & should be loving up on ourselves as well as each other – especially during these dark times. I give three simple "soft rules" for how to love on ourselves FIRST; looking at how SELF LOVE is really the ultimate form of BLACK LOVE. I also then took to these internets & got some feedback from my Friends & Kin (aka listeners of the show) about the joys of Black Love. It’s so BEAUTIFUL & so GOOD that I had to share what I found or what YOU shared with me. By the time I’m done, y’all better be smiling and feeling all warm & fuzzy inside!

The following quote for, "We Got To Do Better" comes from The Storyteller - an app created by Morgan Harper Nichols

“Let any hint of unexpected peace remind you: YOU ARE LOVED. You are seen. And even when it feels like nothing is changing, you are where you need to be.  And love will still find you. Yes, love will still find you. For it is not some far off thing. It is running wild within you… Love will still find you, even when it does not seem that way. You are not a burden. You are not too much. You are free to feel and trust:  even here, you are worthy of love.”

Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

This is the third episode in a series of conversations about the culture of dating in the Black Community.  My guest is Aaron, one of the owners/founders/creators of the infamous CANE COLLECTIVE that I speak about on plenty of my episodes.  We ate, I drank & we were merry as we sat down to have a conversation that is often approached with apprehension.  We discussed relationships between Black Men & Black Women. The conversation flowed smoothly and was nothing but positive and encouraging. It went so well we talked for over two hours - SO, I had to split the discussion into two episodes. This is PART ONE of TWO. Enjoy, as we talk about some serious topics, we LAUGH, disagree as well as find common ground  and all from a heart of love for our people.

This is the second episode in a series of conversations about the culture of dating in the Black Community.  My guest Bianca & I discuss the shifts in dating within our community, as we recognize the MAJOR shift is what Bianca calls “THE NEW MONOGAMY”. We discuss some HOT TOPICS such as:  polyamory, dating from a place of emotional ego, the conceptual origins of the “Strong Black Woman” & the “Absentee Black Man” and how all of these things created a shift in the way Black men and women engage with one another. 

We laugh, dig down into our soul of wonder and get real REAL about some things that may make some folks uncomfortable. We draw on the notion that in order to heal – we have to get to the nucleus of the issue and the only way TO IT is straight THROUGH IT.

Hey Friends & Kin!
 
A conversation about dating during this current global pandemic. What are folks doing?  I get some insight from women AND men, from all backgrounds – including those in different types of relationships. I also address the situation w/Meg the Stallion & He Who Shall Not Be Named. 

Auntie MeMe's Jam for this episode is, "Come Through and Chill " by Miguel.

The following quote from We Got To Do Better comes from The Storyteller - an app created by Morgan Harper Nichols

“You are free to hope - there is more to come. You have been waiting for so long.  You have been waiting for answers, longing for closure for the things that shattered your heart.  Breathe deep and trust: grace will meet you on the journey toward healing.  Grace will meet you on the journey of discovering who it is that you were meant to be in this season. It’s okay if you don’t get it right all the time.  It’s okay if you don’t get everyone’s approval.  Decide whose wisdom you will listen to and let the other voices disappear into the background.”
