19 min - Healing is Ghetto Sometimes
Nobody talks about this part of the journey…
The part that feels heavy.
Lonely.
Ugly.
Where you’re breaking before you bloom.
In this episode of The Vulnerable Room, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real side of healing — the moments that don’t make the highlight reel. The version that isn’t so pretty.
🎙️ Plus, I’m catching y’all up on:
🇯🇲 My trip to Jamaica
👨🏾🦱 Father’s Day reflections
📚 Some honest book reviews
📺”Forever” review
💌 “Room for Advice”
This one is layered, raw, and real.

20 min - Corporate, But Make It Black
This week, I’m joined by the brilliant Shanae Brown—NYC-based executive coach, workshop facilitator, and founder of No Cream in This Coffee—a company committed to providing culturally relevant career coaching for Black women and historically overlooked professionals in tech.
We got real and raw about🎙️:
• Navigating corporate spaces as Black women
• Staying rooted in who we are, even when the environment tries to shift us
• The disparities we face in the workplace—and how we’re pushing back
This conversation is for every Black woman who’s ever had to shrink herself to fit into a space that was never built for her.
