They paused. They pivoted. But they never gave up.

This week on Kandid Konversations with Ms. Krystal, we’re celebrating the ones who came back for what was theirs. In this special graduation episode, Krystal honors the nontraditional grads who fought through life’s interruptions—motherhood, caretaking, self-doubt, and setbacks—to finally finish what they started.

And this one hits home. Krystal’s own twin sister, Kristen Goodner, and cousin Kiri Mitchell just earned their degrees, proving that it’s never too late to walk in purpose and finish strong. If you’ve ever thought about going back, or if you’re in the middle of your comeback—this episode is for YOU.

Show Description: After the storm… comes Joi. In this soul-stirring episode of Kandid Konversations with Ms. Krystal, we sit down with Joi McAtee as she breaks her silence for the very first time.

Joi opens up about the pain of being pushed out of her position, the silent battles she’s fought behind the scenes, and the resilience that led her to run,  not from the fire, but straight toward her purpose.

From heartbreak to healing, rejection to redirection, this is a masterclass in the art of the comeback.

Joi is turning her pain into policy and her passion into power by stepping into the political arena.

This week on Kandid Konversations with Ms. Krystal, I’m sitting down with my girl Ebonee Ingram Jones...a woman who had big dreams, bold degrees, and a whole lot of fight in her spirit… but still found herself battling in rooms that never fully saw her.
