Full disclosure - Codie and Thembi have been friends for a quick minute, but as the two of them are busy busy, it's always good to catch up! So let's get into it. Thembi Banks is a filmmaker, storyteller, wife, and mama. AND when she and Codie had this conversation she was getting ready to make her feature film directorial debut (after having C-19 shut down the first one). Codie and Thembi got real about just how hard it is to find your footing in the entertainment industry. As it turns out, the feature she was talking about is no longer going forward ( 😔) but the value is still there! Tune in as Thembi and Codie talk about juggling motherhood (shoutout to her little one in the background) and work and all the things that come with doing it all (note: extend yourself some grace). Trust, Thembi will be your New BFF by the end of this convo!

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and today Codie has two people near and dear to her heart who have been affected by such. Porsha Summerville, Codie's long time friend from their time at Howard, lost her son Josiah at seven months old. It was this loss that motivated Codie into searching for resources for not only her, but other people navigating this type of grief. It was through that search that she met Felicia whose daughter Kamaiu was born and transitioned on the same day. In this conversation, Felicia and Porsha share what the grieving process has looked like for them, what resources they have found to help them along this journey, and what things are like for them today.
Show Porsha @porshadanae and Felicia @fefemonique some love and tell Codie who you want to be her next New BFF @codieco !

Ashley Chea has been a BFF of Codie's for a while, but there is one topic that they have never sat down and truly talked about - Grief. Too often people don't realize how grief has intertwined with their everyday lives. Or, people are too afraid to talk about it because of the pain involved with remembering someone we lost. Listen in as Codie and Ashley get candid about grief and explore what exactly that has meant to each of them.
