I couldn’t have done this without yall.

As this second season ends, we are excited to bring a LIVE SHOW! Book 6 is now live! Purchase here: Paperback: https://a.co/d/09R1er02 or Ebook: https://a.co/d/0eS4m02j

As promised, we did a live show on Monday, Memorial Day. DA is cohosting as we were on TikTok live! Remember Book 6 will be out by June 12!

I was engaged in this dating/relationship conversation in late 2020, and 2021 on TikTok. The adage became, “We want women like our mothers.” From those conversations, in November 2021, I started reading comments on my side of the internet based around the lives of “women like our mothers”. As of November 2024, this project is 3 years old! For this show, I reflect on that —and I get to talk about the book A WOMAN LIKE MY MOTHER (September 2024).

The wheels on the bus go round and round! This show is cohosted by no other than DA. We did a live show during the middle of BOOK 6- this cycle keeps proving to be more and more special! This is wild!

This episode has videos from the ON THIS DAY video from 1/2022. This episode was cohosted by my niece Charm and her daughters. THE TRADITIONAL WOMEN VOLUME 6: TELL YOU NO LIES will be out (June 2024).
