Happy Tuesday, family! For today’s episode, I'm gonna give y'all a lil Get It How You Live Monday remix. We’re going to journal together about the things we nitpick about ourselves and how we can spend more time with ourselves to combat those feelings. I've got a smooth beat for us to relax to and have a moment of introspection with each other. Please let me know what you think about this topic & some ways you spend time with yourself! I love y'all, stay safe.

Hey, family! Today is #PoliPub Wednesday and I had a lot on my chest. I discuss the struggles of educating during a pandemic, why I'm still pissed at moderate Dems for not supporting radical candidates, and runover thoughts on voter bashing. Please let me know what you think about this episode & my rant series. Thinking about having some guest stars on future poli pubs so stay tuned for that.

Hey, family! Last week I posted a #ThursdayThoughts episode about the stress brought on by recent events in the news, politics, etc. Ironically, this week Spirt was pulling me to release after seeing the #JessicaKrug story....my bl.ood is boiling. For today's "rant," I talk about why we should center dark-skinned Black women in all fields so yt women like Jessica can leave us alone...ugh. It's a pretty candid take, but we family, right?

Hello family! It's #PoliPub Wednesday and I STILL cannot bring myself to writing a proper episode about the state of politics in the U.S. (if y'all have ideas I'm open-ish) but I've decided to keep #PoliPub casual for a while. For today's episode, I speak candidly about my feelings towards moderate dems vs progressives, the far-right conspiracy #QAnon, and my version of #Blexit (Black ppl leaving America). Below, I have listed some sources for y'all to dig a little more, as my takes are going to be pretty broad for a while. I hope y'all enjoy!

Today's Get It How You Live Monday is all about our houses, siblings! I was chatting with @mccaalaolivia about life a few weeks? ago, and she mentioned this "house" analogy in reference to our personal lives/spaces, and I thought it would be dope to expand on the good sister's words for a bit. Whip out those journals and let's get into these houses, babes (no HGTV).

Hello, family! Friday's episode is about the lack of solidarity shown to Black women within their own community, Megan thee Stallion's horrible incident with T*ry L*nez, and some final words for all the niggas & miss men* out there.

*miss men: women who suffer from internalized misogyny & perpetuate/uphold the toxicity of patriarchy, at the expense of women. Also see: pick me's & mrs. niggas.
