Shanedra Talks Too Much

In this final episode of the year, I talk about how the things in my title have hindered me from being the best woman I can be, because I've taken the energy and harnessed it toward other people negatively, or in the form of self-pity. I get candid and vulnerable, because I believe this is an issue a lot of people face (I see it non-stop on Twitter) and to be honest... it has caused me to waste so much time. Thank you all for starting this podcast with me!! Upon editing this podcast i realized this was one of the things I was scared to do as well! I started this in June not knowing how much I would be enjoying it and how much I have learned from it. Mark my words—the best is yet to come!! Happy new year!

In this episode, me and my cousin dissect Christmas songs and talk about the ones we like and the ones we don't, since we are Christmas Music experts now.

This episode will be about my piece I wrote about black K-pop stans/armys being doxxed, how different it was, and how difficult it was. *I recorded this immediately after writing, so it's very emotionally invested. I want to clarify that i don't really like BTS or K-pop in general, not because BTS are horrible people, but due to personal decisions. Submitting to idol/celebrity culture has caused a lot of damage to my emotional, social and mental health all because I never controlled and moderated it.

On this episode, I talk about my recent trip to Barnes and Nobles and discuss how I felt like I was in a super trance upon enterance...it was MAGNIFICENT! Also, what's on my reading list for 2021 (which I am starting now).

So I binged watched The Parkers while working on school work (and twisting my hair in micro twists...) and sweetie when I tell you...black excellence at 100!! In this episode, I'll be giving my thoughts about the show, its plot, the process and relationship between Stanley Oglevee and Nikki Parker (I may just be reaching but I don't care), how RUSHED that season finale was...and other stuff. 🤗

In this episode, I talk briefly about what I did and didn't do during my break, and also talk about The Parkers which I have been watching, and how excited I am to be back!!!

Because I don't want to stress myself out with too many commitments, I have decided to prioritize my school work heavily during the month of October and November and take this time to bond with family members who will be coming up for Thanksgiving and focusing a bit on real life issues. I also want to focus on my project for NaNoWrimo. I'll make sure to update you about it when I get back!! 😘

This week was very confusing and disappointing as I found out one of my favorite TL people were black fishing, which is pretending to be black. I've never experienced something like this on Twitter; the first 13 minutes are my immediate reaction upon discovering their true identity. As I came back three days later, and had a convo with my friend about it, I was able to speak more level headed about it and also had some questions I still want answered. (I blinked his user out because he seems to be a narcissistic and often searches himself...)

In this episode, I reflect on my writing process and how it's grown from last year (around this time), read a few snippets (like my first post ever published on by blog! and some writing from my book 'cus I want to see how that sound tbh), facing criticism and what it's taught me, and learning and growing to become the best writer I can be (because this is oh so fun and not fun at the same time...)

In this podcast episode, I talk about success and how the definition of it is often...stereotyped? You know, graduate college, get married, have a lil baby, get a car, get a house, etc.
