What’s On Ya Mind Podcast

Well Happy New Year, lol. While I am grateful to the lord for my new year starting off blessed, the year has started off crazy around the world. We're going to talk about why I feel Stranger Things fumbled their finale, expose Adin Ross's distasteful comments on black people, how 50 is on one again with Papoose, Clarissa Shields, Fabulous, etc, more white men saying the N word and it being deemed okay (FaZe Clan) and more(Side note if anyone's interested: I tried out some things with this episode including a microphone I had, so if the audio sounds bad to y'all, let me know, I have some more equipment coming soon that'll hopefully be good or better).

Shoutout to my AAAS Course and my classmates in this video!! For this episode, my classmates and I discuss the show Pose. You guys will hear our thoughts in the episode but I would definitely recommend this show if you haven’t watched it already. It’s an authentic showcase of what people of the LGBTQIA+ and specifically Trans communities went through during the 80’s and 90’s, as well as showcasing Ballroom culture. It’s a great watch and an even better discussion was had from us covering this show. You won’t be disappointed!!

A crazy week is an understatement, lol. As the Grammy nominations have dropped and Kendrick Lamar’s name was all over the list, there were people like the Rory and Mal podcast that took their distaste for Dot to another level, you won’t believe how they went from hating on Kendrick to speaking poorly on black women and then being condescending about it…yeah, we’re in for an interesting discussion guys. Other than that, I’m gonna give my own thoughts on some of the Grammy noms and talk about some things going on with the WWE as well. I appreciate you guys for tuning in

Long time no see!!! This episode acts a return to the pod, as I open up with transparency on the lack of uploads, as well as discussing various topics from Bad Bunny being announced as the headliner for next year's Super Bowl, Monaleo's latest project

"Who Did The Body" and how those two things and more are correlated to describing the impact and the significance of representing a culture properly and unapologetically

From my lens, whether you are a Doechii, a Sexy Red or an Ice Spice, it is never enough for black women in the hip-hop world. There's seemingly this unreachable standard they have to reach and even when they are overly judged or sexualized, they are deemed as less than. Unfortunately sometimes the problem even comes from within the black community or even other female rappers. And no matter the heights black women or black people reach, it never seems to be enough.

We need to have a conversation.

Season 4 is here and I am so grateful for you all being on this journey with me. Now officially on youtube as well, this episode of the WOYM podcast discusses understanding what exactly is a culture vulture and why they're a problem in the black community.

In this episode, I'm here to give an overview of the battle of arguably, 3 of the most influential artist in the history of Hip-Hop, J Cole, Drake and Kendrick Lamar. I give a breakdown of the events that led to where we are today and I give my thoughts on how I felt about these artist before, during and after the rap beef. I hope you enjoy

The path of entrepreneurship is not for the weak and only the strong survive. Today, I sit down with one of the most creative minds in the enterpenurship and fashion world. Takai ("IamTakai" on social media platforms) is the next up and coming model and business woman out now; from starting her own magazine organization, to her own clothing brand. With over 18 thousand followers across social media platforms and feature stories across multiple news organizations, please join me in telling the story of the one and only Takai.

Being in the field of Journalism allows me the privilege of sitting down with some great minds and Elle Fromm is no different. I've had the pleasure of learning so much just from knowing her and it would be an understatement to say this is a close friend of mine. Join me in this conversation with my fellow co-host of the "Going Deeper" podcast, Journalist and "Dr" Elle Fromm.

It's not everyday you meet someone who's from a different country but in this episode, I got to sit down with Journalist Willow Symonds to discuss her journey as a student and as someone who's seen the world from a lens I can only imagine. The people I've had the pleasure of meeting while attending Michigan State is still mind blowing to me.
