Sofija gives her two cents on why mental health is important to maintain.  What do people mean exactly when they say that they have "anxieties"?  I also ask her the difference in men that she's met from the many places she's traveled.  Are the men in Greece more shy than the men in the United States?  Sofija spills the tea on that question.  We also talk about the difficulties people experience with trying to move on from a stagnant relationship. It's an insightful and fun discussion with Sofija!

I'm joined by Natasha, better known as Complex Angel.  She's the author of the book No Apologies and she the host of a podcast called Self-Love Is My Rehab.  She talks with me about how she moved to another state with a man who consistently abused her physically, verbally, and emotionally.  She was willing to answer all of my questions, such as: What were some of the things he did to physically abuse her?Was there something that she saw during her childhood that made her think abuse was normal in relationships?How do you break the generational curse of domestic violence?

The domestic abuse hotline is: (800) 799-7233.

"Gator" a member of two podcasts: The Down 5 and Dope Discussions with Erica.  Both podcasts are as entertaining as they are different, but "Gator" is the common denominator in both.   Just like some of the Facebook Live shows we participate in together we found ourselves talking about relationships.   Should your FB relationship status be accurate?How do you build trust in a relationship?Can being polyamorous ever catch on the United States?

It's a funny as well as interesting conversation on this Q-on-1 edition of the Talk 2 Q Radio Show!

What does a publicist do exactly?  A lot of people may not know because the job is a thankless position.  Steven sheds light on what his life is like being the middle man for actors, directors, authors, models, and more who look to boost their careers. We'll discuss how he got started in the business and some of the people he's met along the way.  We'll also discuss what his plans are for the future. Some of my past guests like Jack O'Halloran, Scott Silverman, Artie Hoffman, and more have been directed my way by Steve.  I appreciate him being a friend to the Talk 2 Q Radio Show!

I think that it's sad that we need to have a day to remind us the importance of patronizing black-owned businesses.  There are many guidelines on what is/isn't to be done on a Blackout Day, but one of them is to keep our dollars in our community.  Although I think that's an important thing to ask, I hate that it has to be asked in the first place. Why do black people not support their own?  As many of us that have the entrepreneur spirit, it's very difficult to get traction within our own community from people who look like us.  Chinatown seems to thrive.  Little Italy seems to thrive.  There should be a black community that attracts tourists in most major cities across the countries.  A community that not only thrives from outside dollars, but is sustained by local dollars. It doesn't take long for me to get to my point in most of my soap box rants and this episode is no different.  I hope that you enjoy it and receive something from it.  If you disagree then please use the comments below to offer some feedback.

I was contacted by a member of the Israel United in Christ group to have someone appear on the show and I agreed to do the show without hesitation.  This group was founded in 2003 with the intent of uniting people of color (blacks, hispanics, indigenous Americans, etc.), but whenever there is call for unity, there will also controversy. My guest, Captain Yoshua, explains how he became a part of this group and how they are trying to eradicate the problems found in communities of color.  He spoke, uninterrupted by me, and gave his Bible-based interpretation on not only where we went wrong as a people, but how we can correct it. It's a very riveting interview and it gave me an opportunity to ask questions about an organization that I'd never heard of prior to them reaching out. For my white listeners, you are going to hear some things that you will not agree with at all.  You will be offended.  However, the purpose of this show is to allow you to hear things from the perspective of others.  We cannot coexists in this world without understanding who's in it.  There are elements of this podcast that can enlighten a lot of people to the innermost thoughts of people around them.
