NICTalks

Part 1 of my breakdown on the show Falcon and the Winter Soldier; we touch on Sam Wilson and the complexities of being a Black military veteran/member, the dog whistle of "woke" agenda being code for something being ruined by the presence of Black people...and SO much more.

In this episode I examine how the life of Dr Strange helped me get to radical acceptance about my disability, and how we can reinvent ourselves after surviving trauma (when we are ready of course)

The first in the comeback of NICTalks, as I talk about characters that have impacted me, and what lessons they've taught me. In this episode I break down the life of the MCU Wanda Maximoff and how we can relate to her complex trauma.

I completely underestimated how important your clothes are until I left the military and wasn’t told how to dress anymore. I realized I didn’t know how to express myself….because honestly, I didn’t even know who I was outside of the military.

A few years ago, I came to the radical acceptance that no matter what life path I chose, as a Black woman, I would always be treated like shit. It then became a matter of decided what life path was going to be worth it for me to go through all that inevitable bullshit: the military? Corporate life? Entertainment industry?…

My dad died this past June. I have a lot of complicated feelings about it, but the biggest thing I think about is….how your death doesn’t affect you when you’re dead…it just affects everyone who ever knew you...what kind of impact do you want to leave behind?

Nobody ever told me “it’s just a game.”
