  • You Can't Save Someone Who Sees You As Prey

    Sometimes being a people pleaser prevents you from understanding that the person or people acting entitled to your energy, resources and labor are a danger to you and you need to remove yourself. In this episode I reflect on differentiating between being generous and wanting to help others (emotionally, financially, etc) and having people make you feel obligated to be (overly) generous with them.

  • Did the Relationship Fail? Or Serve Its Purpose?

    A relationship may not have progressed as you would have liked or envisioned, but that doesn't mean that relationship did not serve a purpose in your life. In fact, the true purpose of that relationship was to teach you some wisdom you need to live a more fulfilled life. You may have wanted an eternity but that relationship was only meant to be a lesson.

  • Perfectionism Is A Distraction

    In this episode I talk about how sometimes a desire to perfect our art projects masks our fear of judgment or criticism. I also celebrate the 10 year anniversary edition of my African Queer novel, For Sizakele (!!!) which you can learn more about on nigeriandykerealness.com or myloveisaverb.com. Our art is meant to be created and shared. Don't hide your brilliance from the world, darling ones.

  • Which Is Better? A Little Poison? Or No Poison?

    A little abuse once in awhile? Or no abuse at all? Which do you prefer? When you tolerate a little disrespect, a little shade, a rude comment here or there, you are accepting a little poison. A little poison is still poison. All that little adds up over time. Choose wisely.
