In this episode of Ivy Talks, we ask a question that often gets overlooked: Did you grieve? Inspired in part by RAYE’s raw storytelling in “Escapism,” we explore the ways people cope, avoid, or push through their emotions when life gets heavy.

Katie reflects on her journey of working through grief while balancing the highs and lows of everyday life — from catching unforgettable moments like The Weeknd’s concert to navigating the deeper struggles that shaped this season of Get Rawrr.

This episode is about more than loss; it’s about learning how to sit with yourself, recognizing what you’ve avoided, and finding release in both the pain and the joy. Expect honest reflections, a few laughs, and a reminder that grief doesn’t have to define you — but acknowledging it can free you.

Do you want me to make a shorter social media caption version too for promo, or keep this as the full podcast description only?

In this exclusive interview with Welcome to the Rawrrzone, global superstar Akon opens up about his inspiring return to music with the viral new single “Akon’s Beautiful Day,” a powerful anthem of hope, resilience, and joy. The song, which interpolates the heartwarming vocals of 10-year-old Jamaican student Jermaine Edwards, is already being hailed as "The anthem the world needs right now."

We also dive into his mentorship and support of rising duo Sheesh, whose debut single and video “Ghetto Livin’” (feat. Akon) showcases the power of transformation through struggle. Signed under Konvict Kulture, brothers L.N.S. and BIG SKI bring raw talent and lived experience to the mic, telling their story of perseverance from prison to the big stage.

🎙️ What we talk about:

• Akon’s return & the meaning behind “Akon’s Beautiful Day”

• The viral rise of Jermaine Edwards and the emotional power of the hook

• Partnering with Sheesh & their debut “Ghetto Livin’”

• Music as healing, inspiration, and legacy

• 20 years since Trouble and why Akon is more driven than ever
