In the very first episode of How’d You Get So Sweet?!, I sit down with Marlaina Weston to explore the power of joy as resistance and what it truly means to cultivate happiness in a world that often tries to dim our light.

Marlaina, shares her journey of choosing joy as an act of self-preservation, healing, and liberation. We dive into the ways Black women can center happiness in their daily lives, redefine success on their own terms, and embrace joy as a radical act of self-care.

She also shares a powerful excerpt from All the Black Girls Are Activists by Ebony Janice, reminding us that joy is essential- centering black joy is revolutionary it is not just personal—it’s the work that sustains us..

✨ Press play to soak in the wisdom, laughter, and light of this conversation—and let’s continue cultivating a life rooted in sweetness. 🎧
