MyCurlsSpeak with Key

Some things are difficult to talk about, but that doesn’t mean we should stay silent.

In this episode of MyCurlsSpeak with Key, we’re having an open and honest conversation about domestic violence. We’re talking about what it can look like, why leaving isn’t always as simple as people make it seem, the warning signs we sometimes overlook, and the importance of extending compassion instead of judgment to those experiencing abuse.

We’re also talking about the lives behind the statistics. The women, families, children, friends, and communities forever changed by domestic violence.

With October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I wanted to use this episode to create space for a conversation that is uncomfortable, emotional, and necessary.

This episode is for awareness.
It’s for understanding.
It’s for the voices that have been silenced.
And it’s for every survivor who is still finding their way forward.

In loving memory of every life lost to domestic violence. You were more than a statistic. You were someone’s daughter, mother, sister, friend, loved one, and so much more. Your life mattered. Your story matters. Your memory matters.

May we continue saying their names, sharing their stories, and doing our part to create a world where fewer lives are lost to domestic violence.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. In the U.S., you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1 800 799 SAFE (7233), text START to 88788, or visit thehotline.org.

It’s been two years, so yeah… we have A LOT to catch up on.

MyCurlsSpeak with Key is officially back!

In this first episode back, I’m sitting down for a long-overdue life update and catching you up on where I’ve been, what life has looked like behind the scenes, and everything that’s changed since the last time we talked.

No perfect comeback. No pretending I have everything figured out. Just me, showing up as the woman I am today and making my way back to something I truly missed.

If you’ve been here since the beginning, welcome back. And if you’re new here, you picked the perfect time to join me.

Two years later… we have some catching up to do.

Welcome back to MyCurlsSpeak with Key.

I weigh in on this chaos with a personal take, reflecting on the nuanced dance of friendship, money matters, and conflict resolution when your life is on display online. We'll explore what it truly means to be a good friend and the wisdom of choosing your travel companions wisely.

Ever found yourself caught up in the whirlwind of negativity, especially when scrolling through those endless book reviews? Well, my friends, in this week's heart-to-heart, we're flipping the script and spotlighting the power of positivity. You'll hear all about the drama that unfolded during a book tok beef—a reminder of how easily we can get dragged down when we fixate on the things that don’t jive with us. But here's the twist: I share my personal mantra on book reviews, where if a read doesn’t spark joy, it simply doesn’t make the cut for discussion. It's all about embracing what resonates and letting go of the rest, fostering a community that’s rooted in support rather than criticism.

As we navigate the complexities of single parenting, from school events that tug at our heartstrings to those precious moments of peace, I open up about finding gratitude amidst the chaos. This episode is an ode to the silver linings that bolster us through tough times, and it’s a call to arms to uplift each other by focusing on the good. And for those yearning to be part of the conversation, I extend an invitation to connect with me on social media, whether it’s a chat on Instagram or sharing your story as a guest on the podcast. Let's come together and celebrate our collective growth, one positive step at a time.
