For Mother’s Day, I couldn’t think of anyone else to have as a guest other than my own mom.

8 year old Relisha Rudd went missing in March 2014. It has been 10 years and she still has not been found. 

For ‘It’s Sommer Time’ I sat down with Jonquilyn Hill to hear more about her investigative podcast, Through The Cracks, which covered missing people who typically fall through the cracks. Black girls. 

Black girls deserve protection. Keep her name alive. 

Also on the show, Jonquilyn and I also talked 2024 politics, #loveisblind and the major changes in DC.

For the newest episode of It’s Sommer Time, I sat down with the men. I’ve read too many Twitter debates and have had too many personal experiences that left me conflicted. I had to go straight to the source. Red, Khristian & Tune sat down with me to have that real conversation. We didn’t talk who should pay the bills and whether we should go to Cheesecake Factory for a date.

We really got into it.

At the root of it, we talked through men not having enough positive examples. So, did you have a positive example growing up? More so, are you a positive example now?

I joke and say happy National men’s day on April Fools’ day but this was actually a very insightful conversation and I learned a lot. Ultimately, we do have to work together and we do have to listen to each other.

Ladies, yall next!

In this episode of It's Sommer Time, I talk with my esthetician, Tiffany Markarian. I've been seeing Tiffany since about 2018 for facials and over time, she has developed mediumship capabilities. While sitting under Tiffany's hands, she is able to read me, the energies in the room, and tell me messages from spirits.

It has been quite a journey! Every time I see her, I learn something new about my life and my soul's purpose.

I am grateful for our experience in both healing my face and heart.

In this episode, you will hear about her journey to becoming a physic medium and energy cleanser. You will even hear her read someone in the room.

Author Note: There are some silent moments as Tiffany is tapping into her abilities.
