In this episode, we sit down with Jocelyn Swavy to talk about what it really means to create as your full self — the courage it takes to be vulnerable, how honesty fuels art, and why Black creativity is inseparable from Black expression. Enjoy!

Do we expect too much from the people in our lives—or are we simply asking for the kind of friendship we deserve?

In this episode, I speak with an amazing human being about navigating modern dating, relationships, and everything in between. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

Friendship can be beautiful, complicated, and sometimes messy. In this episode of Our Natural Hair Club, we dive into the tangles and truths of navigating friendships — from building new bonds, to feeling left out, to healing after friendship breakups. 🌿 Watch my first video podcast episode with Emari Osaze

This episode aims to create an atmosphere where you can hear from young Black women about their paths to finding themselves. It is a a space that provides lessons, through our conversation, on how society challenges young Black women/girls to be different from who they are and how we resist and celebrate our identities. I hope that from this episode, you will feel comfortable sharing the memories that your homegirl has revealed to you and how that remembering reminded you of yourself again.

Imagine you are sitting at a campfire, red-orange flames rage brightly into the night skies, and a circle of young Black women surrounds you. The space’s primary focus is not these women’s accolades or how they have become strong and fierce Black women, smashing brick-by-brick society’s oppression and discrimination against them. These women stare into the flames, and looking back at them is their younger shelf, their inner Black girl, their homegirl.

Three Mini Lessons of Year One: It is okay to let go. In this stage of early adulthood, you will be disappointed. You will aimlessly glide. You will smile. Early adulthood is the stage that starts molding you into your future personhood. Don’t be afraid to be yourself.

Happy New Year 🥳 🥳🎉 my beautiful people!!!! We are starting the new year with a new episode…like purr hehe. I had the fantastic opportunity to chat with Sydney Price, a creative strategist, content creator, and social media manager for the Atlanta Dream WNBA! In our conversation, I talked with Sydney about the process of storytelling and creative artmaking, her life experiences from college life to adulthood, the journey she went through that led her to working for a WNBA team, and the day-to-day life of working for a WNBA team, because it is just so fascinating. Finally, we simply talk about life and how it's anything but defined.  Sydney’s Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sydthecreative/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/sydthecreative  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sydthecreative  Alysha’s Socials  ⁠⁠⁠h⁠ttps://www.instagram.com/alyshuraaa/⁠⁠⁠

Hello everyone,  I’m back with my first episode of the new year! I had the fortunate opportunity to talk with Tee Noir, a social and cultural commentator on YouTube.

Our chat consisted of life as a social and cultural commentator, her process in writing and creating videos, navigating her role in the LGBTQ+ community, and more. I hope you all enjoy the episode!

Many of you scrolling through Tik Tok or Instagram have probably brushed past Ava Tetteh-Ocloo! With an audience of millions spanning various social media platforms, Ava creates comedy, thrifting, skincare, and more content with her followers. Her reliability ranges from the struggles and stereotypes of being a Gen Zer to stories of living in an African household. I had the pleasure of chatting with her about making it as an established creator and listening to stories behind the content creation. So, sit back, grab popcorn and drink and enjoy the episode!!!

It has been a LONG time y'all! I'm so sorry that I've been lacking with content, BUT I got my first ever interview, and it's with this super cool gyal Samarah.  Samarah is a social media queen/influencer who has gained significant followers through makeup tutorials, natural hair videos, and fashion. Also, Samarah owns a online business called Yaasama Essence of Femininity, where she sells waist beads, anklets, and much more jewelry. Samarah and I had a fun conversation ranging from finding makeup for darker skin tones to building a business as a high schooler. I hope you enjoy this episode!
