Love you guys. 

This episode is a little different. I'm sorry guys but the day this was recorded is when we got the news about Breonna Taylor & I truly had no words at the moment. I was still in a state of shock and processing. A lot of us feel powerless at this point, which is very valid.

In this episode, I share my immediate feelings in regards to the Breonna Taylor case. I talk Pyer Moss's Exist To Resist Campaign, should you be friends with your ex?

I chop it up with R&B artist Nezi about how therapy helped her get over her break up, the music industry, her journey as an independent artist, & most importantly the release of her first EP Love Trip.
