The Black Jezebel Podcast

Seventeen years later and it is still hard to believe that New Orleans will never be the same, my life will never be untouched, so why not tell my story with you all. This episode is a narrative healing opportunity for me to reflect on my experience surviving Hurricane Katrina after 8 days of being trapped in our home. 

There is vulnerability, tears, and gratitude!

Thank you for allowing me to share!

It's my ANNIVERSARYYYY! That's right it's been 3 years since I launched the Black Jezebel Podcast and I am so honored that you all are still here, rooting me on, along this journey.  We are just getting started and I can't wait to see what the next three years have in store!

Today we are talking about healing with holistic modalities. We dive into Reiki, energy healing, and overall spiritual connection with Melissa Mitchell. Melissa is a certified prenatal educator, doula, midwife, reiki healer, mother, and all-around bomb-ass wombman. She goes by the name, Sunshine, and after this episode, you will definitely know why. She brights up the room with her healing energy and I can't wait for you to learn more about tapping into all the holistic modalities we discuss in this episode.

OH, you say you want me to be vulnerable? How do you navigate vulnerability in the midst of still trying to be strong, functioning, and navigating trauma wounds? What is the relationship between vulnerability and intimacy and how do they show up in our relationships?

Join me this week as I discuss all of these questions and explore the answers with Dr. LaWanda Hill. Dr. Hill is a licensed psychologist in California and Texas, consultant, and curator of transformative spaces. She is a proud native of northern Louisiana and possesses an enduring love for assisting others, specifically Black women, in their journey of self-discovery and holistic growth. Dr. Hill specializes in sexual wellness for Black women and women of color. She is a provocateur of change who holds space for women to embrace their full sexuality, passion, and fierceness while shedding internalized messages that are oppressive and self-sacrificing.

In this conversation we dive into the fears associated with vulnerability, the difference between emotional and structural vulnerability, and Dr. Hill provides us with the essential questions to explore when you are starting your journey to being more present and of course, more vulnerable.

This week I am talking all about seduction with Jade the Erotic Storyteller and host of the Passion After Dark Podcast. We dive into how seduction variers with each sexual partner and different ways to incorporate words, art, and even movement into your seduction rotation. Jade and I completed a seduction quiz and dove into our very own seduction archetypes. This episode gives up a break from everything that is going on in the country right now and reminds us that pleasure is a radical and revolutionary act for Black people. Dive in and Enjoy!

This week we are talking all things BDSM and Black sex as a revolutionary act with BlakSyn, the self-proclaimed Kinky Black Educator. BlakSyn shares personal narratives that have led to their career as a Black BDSM educator and how the art of BDSM can be used as a tool of self-care, trauma healing, and a declaration of pleasure. We dive into consent, sub-space, the intersections of Race and Power in sex, and of course my fave, respectability politics.  We def go there this episode! I even share that one time that BlakSyn introduced me to rope play for the very first time...you don't want to miss these Black Jezebel Moments!

Just like Beyonce, we are always trying to figure out which sign matches our hearts' desires. Well, look no further because the Goddess Gigi Robinson, astrologist, sacred sexuality teacher, all things manifestation power, is talking to me today about Black Astrology and the power of understanding how the stars aligned in your life. This episode is a detailed lesson into your astrology natal chart, and how you can use astrology to not only better understand yourself, but your partner's energy, and heal from the vibrations of intergenerational trauma. 

Gigi walks us through all of the planets, not just our Sun Sign (which is what most people only identify with). She explains how each planet shows up in our lives, what it means to learn what your houses are saying about your healing journey, and how to manifest pleasure and success in your life that has already been written in the stars. When I tell yall this episode gave me my entire LIFE! Yes, Gigi even blesses me with a mini-reading. You don't want to miss this! 

To find your own natal chart and follow along with us in the episode go to https://astro.cafeastrology.com/natal.php with your birthday, exact time of birth, and location.
