We are all under the same Sun. From Praia to Lagos, so much remains the same. It’s always fascinated me how much, from Nigeria to Barbados to Jamaica to Angola to Guinea to Mozambique to Haiti to Senegal to Cape Verde, felt like a simulation. All these black men with the same disposition and mannerisms and bluetooths hanging out of their ear. I can’t describe to you how funny all these cultures collectively are to me. Separated but you can’t hide the roots. But are real conversations actually happening? Are these black men saying, “I’m going through it right now, I’m really struggling with ____”? Not so much that I’ve seen. We have to give people permission to be themselves sometimes. To say, “you can say how you actually feel and still be manly.” I guess that’s one of my missions here. Anyway, Tomi & I sat down to put it on the line & air some dirty laundry. “You can’t ruin a true connection by saying how you feel.” I believe that to my core. “The Brothers” (2001) served as the inspo for this one here, hope you enjoy.

“Finding Love After Love &… A Baby”

What does modern dating really sound like? 
Are we saying what we feel
—or just thinking it? 
Inspired by André 3000’s 
“Where Are My Panties” skit, 
this episode explores dating dynamics & more. “Where are all three good men?!” 
I hear women say. 
Are both genders looking in the 
same place & for the same things? 
If you passed your perfect match, 
would either of you notice? 
Can love find you again after love…and a baby? The Love Below: The Night Before. Pull up a chair.

What if every misstep was fate’s design,
weaving wrongs into what’s meant to be?
Maybe the universe never gets it wrong—
only rearranges destiny.

It's been a journey, very proud of this one and to see how far I've come. I love when I get the urge to go back and listen to a random episode, it's easy to forget why I chose to do this, but on days like that, I remember. It's my therapy, it's one of my creative outlets. Never thought I would have people from different corners of the globe listening to me. Thank you to anyone who has listened or subscribed or rated the podcast, means a lot to me. Leave a message soon, tell me where you are. Thank you to Lu for DP-ing this episode, you didn't know what to make of my abstract directions but you trusted me. What you hear is pure unbridled expression bursting at the seam. I want to put things out that make me nervous a bit. Ok, to the next 50 and beyond!!

Are you alone or are you lonely? 
Are you being loving or are you in love? 
So many things go into being with someone versus not being with anyone. This is just one person's attempt at trying to make some sense of it. Hope you get something from it, enjoy!
