In this deeply personal episode of Pillowtalkpodcast, I open up about the recent passing of my father. From the warmth of our kitchen lessons to the hard truths about addiction, this episode is a reflection on the love, pain, and complexity that comes with grieving a parent. My father battled heroin addiction, and in the end, it was his health — both mental and physical — that took him. But before he left, he taught me some of the most important lessons I carry today: how to stand up for myself, how to move with grace, and how to lead with loyalty. This is for anyone navigating grief, addiction in the family, or the emotional weight of caring for a parent. You're not alone. Have you ever had to parent your parent? Or say goodbye before you were ready? Let’s talk about it.

In "Crucial Conversations: Beauty and The Beast," Robin E unpacks some of the most disturbing, trending stories in Black Hollywood — all sharing one painful thread: the abuse of women by powerful men. From Cassie’s emotional court testimony describing being urinated on and subjected to multi-day “Freak Offs”under the control of Diddy, to Lil Wayne reportedly kicking his partner out on Mother’s Day, the pattern is loud — and it's ugly. We also touch on Halle Bailey’s quiet cry for help, as she’s granted a restraining order against DDG for alleged abuse, showing that not even new mothers or fairytale couples are immune from harm behind closed doors. It’s time for more than gossip — it’s time for accountability. Why are so many Black women still being silenced, doubted, or dismissed — even with receipts, trauma, and truth in hand?
