Ticia The Diva “This Is For My Ladies”

S5 Ep 88: Ladies, please come to the front of the alter, I need to have a word with you all. Lately, it has been brought to my attention that we are calling for the black men to protect black women. I hate to inform you but sis, that ain't about to happen, that's like asking Trump to wear a mask, even after he got Coronavirus. Why must we continue to call for the black man to protect us when they turn right around and shit on us calling women bitches, hoes and sluts to our face for having an opinion or for defending other women? 

The black mans hatred for women continues to increase, driving a wedge between members of the same community. Are we not fighting the same struggle, to be seen as human beings, to not be killed for being black, to receive equal treatment and rights as our white counterparts? Black women will stand up for the black man, protect and nurture the black man long after they shit on us but what do we get in return? Hurt feelings and a bunch of social media post pleading to them why they need to protect us. Now I'm not saying ALL men are this way, some men have been raised to respect and honor woman, putting her on a pedestal as "Queen", that's like the game of chess, the Queen is THE most IMPORTANT piece of the game. Funny how people refer to chess as a game of life yet the 'Black Queen' is the least important in real life. 

Did anybody catch that post where women were asked "what would you do if there were no men on the streets at night?" The answers were astonishing, the fear that women have for men are sick but they are suppose to protect us right? Women said they would go for a night stroll, bike ride, sit on a beach, some women had so much stuff that they would do they couldn't even name it. This is disheartening to say the very least. Men are suppose to be protectors, naturally, yet we fear them. That has to do with history and women being SO far removed to make them feel inferior, dirty and less than a man or even an animal. Women and their vaginas were once the most powerful things on this planet, they were worshipped, along comes men and religion that over threw women and her sacredness for patriarchy control, read Pussy Prayers, it details how women were once the most superior and we still are to this day but we are giving way to much power to men, like the job of "protecting us" when they don't see nothing of value to protect.  

In this episode, I share the disrespect that I received from men after making a tweet that read, "I hope it's staged. Sis looks terrified and his actions screams "abusive", after the video surfaced from #SaltBae restaurant of the woman twerking and the man aggressively beating on the door to let him in. Another video, same location, different angle came out showing he wasn't even going after the woman twerking but yet another woman in the restaurant but before that, I was attacked for my opinion, the amount men that disrespected me and justified the mans behavior was sick, black men but we want them to protect us? Fuck them, not all black men but any man that feels disrespecting women or a women getting what she deserves, those are trash ass men.

S5 Ep 87: Ladies, listen up, can I just apologize for my absence, I will never starve you all of weekly podcast episodes, EVER again but let me explain, "I need a therapist." These past two weeks have been a whirlwind and while I didn't release episodes for the past two weeks, I've still been recording, so kudos to that but this week episode,  'I need a therapist," has been at the forefront of my mind for some weeks now and as away to get my most genuine, authentic and unapologetic thoughts out, I created this space for myself that I've openly shared with you all for 2 years and it's been therapeutic for me. 

At 31 years of age, this is my first time living away from home and the transition has been overwhelming, especially during a pandemic and because of that, I need a therapist. In this episode, I share how I'm releasing judgement, leaving people where they are, removing myself from toxic and unhealthy situations and looking at this move as an advantage instead of a set back.

S5 Ep 86: Ladies, listen up, if you have not watched P-Valley on Starz, you are missing out! In this episode, from the pole to the palace, I share my thoughts of the season finale, when I tell you I can't wait for next season, I'm more than ready to see what Katori Hall, creator and writer is up to!  Speaking of from the pole to the palace, did you all catch the exchanges between Cardi B and Candance Owens? Are you ladies even familiar with who Candance is? Well, Candace is an anti-black, African American woman, conservative and Trump supporter, who went viral after the killing of George Floyd. Candance recently was interviewed, where she called Cardi B an "illiterate puppet" that is being used by Joe Biden and the democratic party because she's "dumb", Candace believes that the democratic party is the demise of black Americans. Also heard in this episode, I share my thoughts on the Brandy vs Monica Verzuz battle, the spin off of Power and a new book and series that I'm both reading and watching at the same damn time, "Lovecraft Country," okay, I know in this episode I said I wouldn't watch the series until I finished the book but OMG, the book is so good, I couldn't resist myself! Of course, there are some clear and evident discrepancies in the series but isn't it always, personally, I wish they would have stuck to the book but as a "movie critic", I can understand why they would change certain things, but still.

S5 Ep 85: New month, new goals, same crazy ass 2020. We are 9 months into the year and listen, I don't know about you all but I'm more than ready for things to go back to normal but at this point, what's normal anyway? 2020 has been a whirlwind, from a global pandemic, the United States shutting down, to the unexpected deaths of prominent celebrities has really rocked the world in more ways than another. 2020 has been a mess!

In this episode, I talk about the recent passing of actor Chadwick Boseman, who lost his battle to stage 4 colon cancer after four year, on August 28, 2020. Chadwick, was responsible for bringing some of our favorite historical characters to life such as Jackie Robinson in 42, James Brown in Get on Up, Thurgood Marshall in Marshall and one of the roles that we will forever remember superhero The Black Panther as King T'Challa, Chadwick leaves behind a beautiful wife, whom we shall keep in our prayers.

On a lighter note, how are we feeling about these live virtual concerts and shows? Again, I'm ready for things to go back to normal, I miss crowd participation and the energy from fans. Did you all check out my IG story during the Brandy v Monica Verzuz? Listen I got my entire life!!! I'm ready to go to a live concert like yesterday, I'm still mad about Something in the Water being canceled, the ghetto!

Also in this episode, I share updates of my transition to California, how I'm ready to get back to work so I can meet some new people, the planning process of starting an online boutique and my preparation for my role as Lil Kim in her biopic (speaking things as if they were) by studying the Chubbuck technique, I mean I'm in Cali now, might as well follow my dreams of being an actress!

S5 Ep 83: Bad Trip is an episode where I share my most recent experience trying shrooms, how living in a new city is causing me to experience anxiety and the importance of me getting back to my routine that make me feel whole because being in a new city with no family, nor friends is making your girl feel a lil empty. 

S5 Ep 82: Home is where the heart is is an episode where is express my thoughts on missing home aka "my family." I've been in Cali for 25 days and it was day 22, where I was up searching flights at 1am Pacific time, to go back home to surprise both my mom and sister for there birthday.

Now I don't miss Virginia but home, for me, is the warmth, love, support and accessibility that my family has provided me with for 31 years of my life, living in one place. Coming to Cali for my birthday and deciding to stay was definitely not planned but when opportunities knock, I'm opening the door. My prayers for myself is that I'm not over stepping any boundaries nor the life that God has already planned and ordained for me by trying to do my own lil thing out here.

Also heard in this episode, I recap shows like Moesha, P-Valley, The Chi and Twenties. Have you watched any of these episodes? let me know your thoughts!

S5 Ep 81: Freedom Seeker is what sums up my life and that of my path number 5, "The Freedom Seeker." When it comes to fun, fearlessness and adventure, I live up to my number 5 lifestyle. It took me learning my life path number to understand how I navigate through life and the decisions that I've made centered on what's most fulfilling to me and how I move with soul and passion.  I long to experience things for myself and live life at the beat of my own drums. 

During this episode, I share my experience of a California earthquake, meeting Mila J, singer and sister to Jhene´ Aiko and how I find it odd how much Californians love dogs, I know right, dogs? Yes, dogs it's so alarming how strangers will push up on you just to pet your dog, their entire mood changes when they realize you have a dog, it's insane the mass attention they receive. 

Also heard in this episode, I encourage listeners to demand and own their time and denounce those things and excuses that hinder people from living a life of freedom.

S5 Ep 80: Welcome Back to Season 5 of This Is For My Ladies and Happy 2 Year anniversary! Ladies, I'm so excited to be presenting you all with a new season from a new location! Heard in this episode, host Ticia The Diva candidly shares what lead her to a such a bold move of spontaneously deciding to stay in California and the importance of seizing opportunities and taking action when it presents it self, hence, my Life Path number 5 and me needing the sense and feel of "Freedom."

This episode is a recap of my first week in California, this isn't even a FULL RECAP because it was so much but the more I experience and things that I peep, I'll definitely let you all know. Nevertheless, I talk about my ride on a Harley through Calabasas, to Malibu nd to the the top of Topanga Canyon, the weather, chilling withe some celebrity kids and manifesting my overall plans and goals for myself her in California.

So, during this season, expect episodes to be filled with the new vibes, new energy, new lessons, new love, new and more goals accomplished and who knows, maybe some celebrity interviews, stay tuned for the unexpected.
