October 31, 2025 Where The Hell Have I Been...?
In the words of one of my favorite SWV songs..."It's About Time"!
Yes, your girl is BACK! Because life decided to life like it's never lifed before, I had to step away and handle some things - personally and professionally. But I'm back behind the mic and better than ever! And I'm bringing the guests, topics, solo rants and that "razzle dazzle" that y'all know only I can bring, along with some new things that you'll hear more about as we go along.
Today, we're going to talk about where I've been and what I've been doing. You know I couldn't leave y'all hanging like that. So, sit back, grab a glass of wine and enjoy the show ;)

October 27, 2023 Finally, I Tell My Story...
Y'all know how I've said before, "one day I'll tell you my story"? Well, today I'm sharing a very personal and traumatic peice of my story. In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, my guest, local baker and entrepreneur Breana Day and I share our very real experiences with domestic violence and more importantly, how we got out. The biggest blessing in all of this is that it wasn't the end of our story. Our hearts go out to all of the victims and their families who where not as fortunate.

If you or someone you know needs help, PLEASE contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or text "START" to 88788.

I also share a peice of my story in the Amazon Bestseller anthology "Seeing Myself In Her Story". The book is available on my website at https://www.melanin-360.com/product-page/s-h-e-anthology-seeing-myself-in-her-story

July 04, 2023 Help A Sista Out!
It's no secret that homelessness is an epidemic that is plaguing not only my hometown of Washington, DC, but every city across America. Once you throw mental illness into the mix, its a recipe for an even larger problem.

This week's guest, Urla Barrow - Cheif Executive Director of Hyacinth's Place - talks to us about what she and her organization is doing to eradicate these issues, one woman at a time. She also dispels some myths about the homeless population, provides some statistics and lets us know what we can do to help.

June 02, 2023 Hitting The Reset Button...
If "life be life-ing" was a podcast episode, this would be it! This week I'm dropping some gems about what to do when life decides to. be a _________ (insert whatever word you choose) and derail even your most carefully made plans. As always, I get a little transparent about my shortcomings and how I'm getting through them just like y'all.

I also pay homage to one of the best to EVER do it, the late, great Ms. Tina Turner - the inspiration for this episode.

Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts on this topic...I'd love to hear them!

What it do y'all! On this week's episode, my girlfriend Shawna stops by so we can discuss the mental toll it takes on a person to be healthy all their lives and then receive a life altering diagnosis. We also delve into health disparities in the healthcare system surrounding women of color and the importance of being your own health advocate - both for yourself AND with your doctors.

We also discuss our love for the show Living Single!
