Episode 70 of She Said It First is giving therapy, laughs, and side-eye all at once. Jerrilyn Lake (aka Indeskribeabull) and Lynee’ Monae welcomes their special guest, poet and multi-hyphenate creative Kira J, who’s fresh off the release of her powerful new spoken word album, I Have No Idea What I’m Doing. And while Kira might not claim to have all the answers, she definitely brought wisdom, raw honesty, and a couple of gut-punching poems that had everybody clutching their chest like, “girl… me personally, I couldn’t.” 

In What Irritated Me the Most This Week, the ladies went off on folks who keep giving attention to toothless trolls on social media. Jerrilyn and Lynee made it clear: stop making think pieces about people with three missing molars and a Wi-Fi connection—mute, scroll, and move on. By the time Kira chimed in about trolls and toxic commenters, the whole segment felt like group therapy mixed with a roast session. 

For Girl, What Happened, the three women dove into Kira’s artistry, the inspiration behind her album, and her viral poem “If I Never Get to Love You.” Between discussions of heartbreak, healing, and knowing when to ask for help, the episode proves you can laugh, cry, and side-eye a dusty troll all in the same hour. Then in Girl Talk, the conversation shifted to relationships and the burden Black women carry when they’re expected to be everybody’s superhero. Kira got candid about taking her “cape” off before she crashes out, leaning on family when needed, and learning the difference between friendships and mentorships (because not everyone who wants to be in your circle can pour back into you).
