Talk To Me Nice with Ayana Ellis

Inspired by the horrible news of Tina Campbell's (Mary Mary) husband Teddy filing for divorce after 25 years a slave, I want to talk about why forgiveness is overrated and closure needs to stop being romanticized.

When someone violates me, they become Persona Non Grata, period.

As a survivor and advocate for Domestic Violence Awareness, it's breaking my heart how week after week a black woman is being murdered by her partner. What in the world is going on? Please God....

Week after week there's been a black woman in the news.... I'm beyond wrecked about this.

I'm discussing Tina Campbell of Mary Mary's situation. If you're unaware, her husband of 25 years filed for divorce after she forgave him for cheating on her multiple times over the span of 25 years. Let's discuss the less respect you get the more you forgive. And why closure isn't necessary in most scenarios. Come and talk to me on Wednesdays for the full episode dropping at 4pm est!

Host Ayana Ellis gives a quick blurb on what to expect on Talk To Me Nice.

I was inspired by an interview that I saw with Denzel Washington and Spike Lee and was enamored by how Denzel stood on business about not needing validation from anything or anyone.

I found the perfect song to fit the conversation because there's a song for everything. Here's one about letting go of the bullshi* and setting boundaries.
