Heeeey Grown Folk!!! This week’s episode is a replay of Episode 32, originally uploaded on 05/30/2025 — and baby, we’re talking about the games people play.

On this episode of Rated M Cause We MF Grown, Tierra Laray gets real about manipulation in dating: why it happens, how people disguise it, and the red flags you need to catch early… because sometimes it’s not love, it’s a whole mind game.

Then we get into how the internet might be ruining the art of flirting. When did simply liking somebody’s story become “shooting your shot”? Are we losing real connection in the age of social media convenience?

And of course, things heat up when we talk reciprocation in the bedroom. If energy, effort, and pleasure aren’t being matched… what are we really doing here?

For this week’s Grown Convo, we unpack the weight of the apology you may never receive — learning how to stop waiting for closure from other people and start giving it to yourself.

So grab your drink, your smoke, your snack, or whatever your vibe is, and come kick back with your virtual homegirl Tierra Laray for another grown, honest, funny, and unfiltered conversation. No judgment, just vibes… cause biiiiish, We MF Grown.

Heeey Grown Folk!!!

This week on Rated M Cause We MF Grown, Tierra Laray dives head first into the internet firestorm surrounding Dr. Cheyenne Bryant and the controversy over her doctorate credentials. But baby… this conversation gets WAY deeper than one person.

We’re talking about how social media has created a world where followers, confidence, aesthetics, and popularity can matter more than actual qualifications. Have we confused influence with intelligence? Are people more loyal to relatability than honesty? And why do so many people blindly follow internet gurus, relationship coaches, podcasters, and motivational speakers without fact-checking ANYTHING? 👀

The grown-folk conversation gets REAL as we unpack:
🔥 Lived experience vs formal education
🔥 Pretty privilege in social media influence
🔥 Why people trust charisma over credentials
🔥 Elitism in the Black community
🔥 The obsession with titles, status, and appearing successful
🔥 Whether someone can be helpful AND problematic at the same time
🔥 Why people put influencers on pedestals and live by everything they say

You know Tierra Laray had to give you a fire High Strain of the Week along with the High Thought.

This episode is funny, messy, thought-provoking, and a little low vibrational 😭 because let’s be honest… some of y’all don’t want experts, y’all want somebody with good lighting and confidence.

If you’ve ever questioned social media culture, internet therapists, fake gurus, or why society worships popularity over truth, this is the episode for you.

#WeMFGrown

Heey Grown Folk this week's episode is a replay of Episode 29 published May 9th 2025.

It’s a Mother’s Day episode, but we grown so you know Tierra Laray had to sprinkle a lil shea butter and shade on it.

First of all… moisturize y’all damn hands. Tierra Laray talks about having a man rub on her with callouses so rough she thought she was getting exfoliated mid-foreplay .

PSA: lotion is love.

Then we get into a real grown convo about what being a provider actually looks like and we are not talking about who pays for dinner. Tierra Laray shares examples from her own life where provision showed up as presence, protection, peace… and yes, sometimes pressure.

To top it off, we dive into the art of pleasure as productivity — and yes, we mean manifestation orgasms. Pleasure is powerful, sis. That release ain’t just physical, it’s energetic. So go ahead and moan with intention.

It’s funny, it’s unfiltered, it’s full of love and grown-ass lessons.

You already know the vibe: Grown, Sexy, no fluff, all facts.

In this solo episode, Tierra Laray pulls up by herself and clears the air, no confusion, no speculation. She addresses why she’s recording solo again and speaks openly about the shift with her former cohost, giving listeners the clarity before they start asking questions.

But don’t get it twisted… the vibes are STILL intact.

From there, she taps into the internet chaos surrounding Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson, breaking down the drama, the discourse, and what it really says about a lot of people's character who create think pieces or have distasetful things to say about both parties.

Then we get into a real grown conversation: being physically attractive but emotionally unavailable. Tierra Laray gets real with herself in this segment and gives herself a list of things to do to work on getting past that surface level with potential suitors.

Tierra Laray reads a wild listener dating horror story that’ll have you side-eyeing people that put their phone face down while on dates 👀 and reminds you why discernment is a non-negotiable.

To wrap it all up, she delivers a fire High Strain of the Week 🌿🔥 and a thought-provoking High Thought to leave you thinking long after the episode ends.

This episode is honest, a little messy, a lot of truth—and exactly what you needed.

No Judgment.... Just Vibes#WeMFGrown

Heeeeeey Grown Folks!

This week's episode is a replay of an episode that aired on 06/13/2025. This is one of those ones that we had to run back in case you missed it.

In this episode we’re digging into what it really means to raise your kids differently than you were raised — especially when you were raised on survival, silence, and that “because I said so” parenting style. We’re talking emotional wounds, reparenting yourself, and choosing softness even when you weren’t shown it.

Then we shift into some low vibrational shit — like how society stays judging single moms but treats single dads like superheroes for knowing their kid’s name. And yes, we get into the pressure put on oldest daughters to play second mama. She ain’t push no baby out. Let her go to prom in peace!

We keep the grown energy going in the Pussy Power segment — because parenting don’t cancel your sexy, boo. I’m talking all about making time to get your freak on when you’ve got kids in the house. Quickies, quiet strokes, shower sex and solo play — we grown AND we nasty, respectfully.

Healing, truth-telling, and a lil’ nasty sprinkled in... just how we like it over here.

No Judgment.... Just Vibes

#WeMFGrown

Heeeey Grown Folk!!! This week on Rated M Cause We MF Grown, the conversation gets spiritual, messy, funny, and real real.

Special guest Juno Perion pulls up and the Grown Folk get into everything—from being an alchemist and constantly seeing angel numbers, to decoding what those signs really mean in everyday life.

Then it gets spicy…

What do you do if you catch your friend’s partner cheating in public? Do you mind your business… or stand ten toes in loyalty?

We also break down the evolution of internet culture—from the overused “pause” to the new wave of “No Diddy”—and how language, humor, and masculinity are shifting in real time.

Tierra Laray had to step in and gather the room when non-monogamy came up, breaking down what ethical non-monogamy actually is—and why it’s always misunderstood as “just wanting to mess with everybody.” Yeah… we had to clear that ALL the way up.

The episode also takes a heartfelt moment as flowers are given to someone special in Shekiya’s life who recently passed—because we celebrate our people while they’re here and honor them when they’re gone.

And of course… we go past the surface level of pretty privilege,

To close it out, we tap into the High Thought with two High Strains of the Week:
💨 Lemon Peeps (Provided by Shekiya)
💨 White Widow (Provided by Juno Perion)

Heeeey Grown Folk!!!

Are you really emotionally attached… or just used to them?

Episode 54 gets into the real, messy, grown-folk conversations about love, boundaries, and the blurred lines of modern dating.

Tierra Laray and Shekiya unpack what it means to be emotionally attached versus simply comfortable, and why setting boundaries can feel so damn hard when feelings are involved. From going through your partner’s phone to navigating exclusivity without a title, this episode dives deep into relationship dynamics that everybody thinks about—but doesn’t always say out loud.

The conversation also takes a turn into the ghetto side of adulting (because why is being grown this stressful?), plus a hot take on the discourse surrounding Bam Adebayo surpassing Kobe Bryant’s single-game scoring record and what that really means in today’s sports culture.

Tierra Laray also addresses real-life backlash after Episode 51 (We MF Sisters), opening up about family reactions and what it looks like to stand in your truth—even when it gets uncomfortable.

To keep things spicy, Shekiya brings the Strain of the Week, and we close out with a juicy dating advice letter that’s guaranteed to have you questioning your own situation.

If you’ve ever struggled with boundaries, situationships, trust, or just surviving adulthood… this one is for you.

Heeey Grown Folks!

Tierra Laray and Shekiya are back with a fun, unfiltered episode.

Episode 53 kicks off with a horror story about real life zombies a wild round of Fuck, Kill, Marry where the choices get questionable and the answers get even crazier. Tierra Laray is breaking down dating behaviors that make you pause, side-eye, or run for your life and ask asks are these things Red Flags or Nah

In true Rated M fashion, the conversation shifts into something a little deeper—sexual energy, power dynamics, and stepping into a more dominant vibe. Tierra Laray said that she feels like she is becoming a Dom after being told, “I miss the way you used to make me worship you.” Yeah… let’s get into that.

And because life be life-ing, Tierra Laray and Shekiya also talk about hitting a fitness plateau, trying to stay consistent in the gym, and the one thing that keeps getting in the way—FOOD. Because discipline sounds good until the cravings hit.

This episode is the perfect mix of dating talk, relationship conversations, sexual confidence, red flags, and real-life struggles—all with laughs, honesty, and that “we MF grown” energy.

Press play, send it to your group chat, and be real…
you surviving the zombie apocalypse, or are you the red flag? 👀
