Talks With Tez

We fought hard to step into who we are but once we got here, did we start blocking each other from real love? In this episode of Talks With Tez, we dive into how labels like “too femme” or “too masc” (and everything in between) keep us from building authentic, long-term relationships in the LGBTQIA+ community. Through five raw, funny, and heartfelt stories—from the preppy perfectionist to the loud-and-proud, from the hopeless romantic to the late bloomer—we explore how validation, judgment, and self-esteem shape the way we love. With humor and honesty, Tez breaks down why showing up as your whole self is the only way to stop missing out on connection that could last a lifetime.

In this episode of Talks with Tez, we’re diving into the viral September Lock-In trend, the fall reset everybody swears will change their life. From early wake-ups and dry meal preps to treadmill meltdowns, I’ll share a hilarious “listener-submitted” lock-in journey that went completely off the rails. Tune in for laughs, lessons, and a reminder that sometimes the most locked-in thing you can do is give yourself grace.

So I almost got poisoned on set… but what happened after is just as wild. In Part 2, I’m spilling the tea on the reactions, the cover-ups, and the questions that still don’t have answers. From people acting brand new to the moment I realized it wasn’t just an accident—this episode goes deeper. Still keeping it funny (because you gotta laugh to keep from losing it), but trust… the red flags were flagging. Tune in, because the story’s not over.

What do you get when you mix live TV, a sketchy drink, and some real-life weirdos? A story you have to hear to believe. In this episode, I break down the moment I was almost poisoned on set—yes, poisoned—and somehow still found a way to laugh through it. It’s funny now, but it was definitely a wake-up call. From side-eyes to side effects, we’re talking about trusting your gut, navigating fake smiles, and spotting the weird energy before it hits your cup. Tap in—you’ll be entertained and warned.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the layers and asking the real question: Is that person in your corner really for you—or just watching from the shadows? 😤 From fake love to funny gut-check moments, we’re talking signs, red flags, and how to move smarter, not colder. You’ll laugh, you’ll relate, and you might just re-evaluate a few people in your life.

We’re keeping it fun but factual, light but layered—because sometimes the biggest lessons come wrapped in jokes and “ah-ha” moments.

So sit back, relax, and join the conversation because it’s happening.

You ever try to approach a situation with grace, maturity, and love… only for it to spiral into “what just happened?” in under 3 hours? Yeah—same. In this episode, I share what went down when someone I’d lovingly parted ways with reached back out. I came with an open heart, good intentions, and deep breaths—but sometimes, no matter how much you care, the cycle repeats.

This one’s for anyone who’s tried to love someone through their healing, only to realize: their battle isn’t yours to fight. All you can do is set the boundary, protect your peace, and pray for them from a healthy distance. 🙏🏾 There's love there—always—but there’s also wisdom in walking away (again). Tap in for some laughs, some lessons, and a whole lot of “whew, I felt that.”

Sooo... funny story. Today was supposed to be the drop day, BUT something came up—something good. A topic so juicy, I had to give it a little more time to cook. Trust me, it’s worth the wait. New episode of Talks With Tez lands tomorrow at 7PM, and it’s giving “oh we really going there” energy. Set your reminders, charge your phone, and I’ll catch you then! 🙌🏾😂

In this gripping episode of Talks With Tez, we delve into Keri Hilson's recent revelations on The Breakfast Club, where she opened up about the controversial 2009 remix of "Turnin’ Me On." Hilson disclosed that she was coerced into recording lyrics perceived as a diss towards Beyoncé, under the threat of her debut album being shelved. She expressed deep regret over the incident, stating that the contentious verse was not her own and that she felt powerless during the process. Co-writer Ester Dean has since apologized for her role, acknowledging the lyrics were immature and harmful.​

But the conversation doesn't stop there. Tez transitions into a heartfelt discussion on recognizing and avoiding toxic relationships, drawing parallels between Hilson's experience in the music industry and personal relationships. He offers practical advice on setting boundaries, trusting one's intuition, and the importance of self-worth in both professional and personal spheres.​
