The SPEAKHER Podcast

New season. New episodes. New music!

Over the seasons, I've had some interesting conversations with my guests, both on and off the air. 

To bring you more of TSP, both from in front and behind the mic, I am challenging myself creatively by personally penning some of my top episodes and flipping them into songs. That's right, Loves. The SpeakHer Podcast is getting a soundtrack - one song at a time.

The "soft life" can look or appear as different things depending on the person you're asking. In this chapter of life, as a single woman, I took the time to really think about the term soft life and how it's defined in this chapter of my life.

Join me in this episode as I explore what the soft life means to me and ways that it is defined in this season. What does it mean to you in this season of your life?

Yes, Loves!... I am beyond excited to release the new theme song for The SpeakHer Podcast written by yours truly. 

I've always had a love for music and decided to test the waters and dust off my pen game. I has been yearsssss since I have written anything. More tracks are on the way. 

Thank you for always supporting TSP and I cannot wait to continue conversations on topics and issues impacting the community and the culture as we are now over 10K downloads strong and counting!

In this episode of The Speak[Her] Podcast, I continue my conversation with Sealz the Man for a transparent and thought-provoking conversation exploring the difference between chemistry and compatibility—from a Black man’s point of view.

We unpack what truly matters when two people desire to do life together:

• Communication as the foundation of strong relationships
• The importance of creating safe and healthy space to communicate —even in disagreement
• Why compatibility often outweighs chemistry in building a lasting connection

This is an honest and necessary conversation for anyone looking to grow in love, purpose, and partnership.

Tune in now for insight that speaks to the heart of real relationships.

In this powerful episode, we're joined by Dr. Sheldon McAfee, a leading voice in education and equity, to unpack the shifting landscape of higher education in America. With efforts to dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs on campuses across the country, what does the future hold for students of color, especially young Black men, whose college enrollment numbers continue to decline?

Dr. McAfee brings critical insight into:

• The political backlash against DEI and what it signals for institutional priorities
• Why Black male enrollment is shrinking and how it affects the broader educational ecosystem
• The role of community colleges, HBCUs, and alternative education paths in this moment of uncertainty
