Send us Fan Mail  This week was supposed to be more concise but alas I did get on a tangent after talking about my emotional experience with my first Mozart opera and began to wander into some pretty unfiltered thoughts about who I am and who I am becoming post divorce as a romantic seeker. I think I am changing but I don't shun it. Join me for this more chill episode Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This episode is about the WNBA being infiltrated and hijacked by white right wing babble that is illogical and designed to distract from the other things going on in the world and how bigotry is illogical and when you really take time to sit with it you can't justify it. We also discuss our obsession with the penis changing who and what we are via sex and how that has informed body counts and biphobia and why I think you need to be reading liberation texts and mentally preparing for the intellectually dishonest battles ahead.

Send us Fan Mail This episode focuses on me expressing how joyful I am even in this immensely busy season in my life. I have been immersed in self love, motivating myself to push myself further in my career and working on becoming an even happier and more whole woman and mother. In that time I have also experienced so much optimism seeing the work of Zohran Mamdani in New York. Is it possible we could be on the brink of understanding as a society that the care of the collective is for the greater good of us all instead of rugged individualism and competition. Chris Brown faces some consequences across the pond and I talk about how I think Situationships ar just fine if you are honest about what you want and still have great boundaries. Sometimes that is the best we can show up for someone else when we are leading separate lives. The downside is when you want to have something you can't. Agree? Disagree? Just show up and tell me what you think. Thanks for listening Support the show

Send us Fan Mail I recorded this as a catharsis. I felt so much pain on Father's Day this year like I could not have fathomed. It was my first totally sober Father's Day. And I am no heavy drinker or much of one at all. I get a drink when I go to restaurants and I usually will drink when I venerate my ancestors so three times a year with them and an occasional dinner drink. This past year my GLP1 has made alcohol just absolutely undesirable so for the first time I drank nothing while venerating my father and the pain was crippling. I was depressed most of the day in a way I had not been in a long time. Sometimes I feel like the love has no where to go but it remains so present. All I could do was talk and vent. This episode is me releasing that as best as I could. I hope anyone else grieving the loss of a parent finds something of value here Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week I sort of ramble about my feelings about what has been happening to black women at the hands of men and how women have every right to ask for whatever when they are choosing to deal with men because the potential of harm is so great. Join me and tell me what you think. Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week we discuss the mess around the Democratic Party and Eric Swalwell and how we need ethics rules that make being sexually undisciplined disqualifying for public office and how men are allowed to be cheaters but still considered trustworthy because people think lying to a woman is acceptable but you should have different ethics when it comes to men. We also wrap up this discussion talking about how Black people have co opted tactics from their oppressor via the religion foisted upon them by said oppressor to look the other way while they justify giving money to abusive people like Chris Brown and abuse apologists like Usher for their own entertainment.

Send us Fan Mail Good day equality lovers. Today we are breaking down how fatherhood's role in the success of childhood outcomes is over simplified to imply that a household without fathers is bad because of the missing of the male aspect rather than the missing of the money, stability and resources that come with two parents contributing to the well being of the child. The intention of this propaganda is to guilt women to bear the brunt of the mistreatment of men for the sake of the better outcome of the children while men themselves do not demonstrate their own belief in their value in the household by being more hands off in child rearing and also not putting the same effort to maintain the relationship into it so that the kids can have the best outcomes. We also discuss how studies show that two parent households period regardless of the gender of the parents have similar outcomes so this dismisses the narrative that men want to draw from this that their presence specifically is required for success. I also discuss my impressions of Tina Knowles memoir Matriarch and the politics of who we choose to have children with while reflecting on how my own relationship with my dad impacted me becoming a feminist in the long run.

Send us Fan Mail This episode is talking about the way that Nicki Minaj fans have felt that she has not been protected while they have enjoyed her bullying of others and how protection of Black women is a social contract requiring give and take. I also discuss the Iran War and Leftists both sides are the same arguments being harmful to progress and dishonest while also taking some time to reflect on what Scream 7 tries to say about intergenerational trauma and how we prepare our children to deal with our own demons or choose to try to have them avoid it all together and if there is any wisdom in that?

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back! This week we are talking about how Chris Noth tried to use Sarah Jessica Parker's sometimes poor public perception to cloak himself from the SA allegations and how we aren't going for it. We'll also talk about how the March for Life is nonsense as the Right doesn't care about life they care about maintaining control. The government isn't there when women need help but steps up to punish them when children they are forcing them to have die because they just needed support and how liberation can only come from education.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Happy New Year super late. I am finally well and able to record again and I plan to be more consistent. This week I am talking about how I spent a year not dating and how I have decided I don't want to date at all anymore. I want to focus on myself and my goals and my dreams and that I feel liberated in that. I also talk about the Trump administration and we touch on Rene Good and the racism and sexism at work to dismantle the rights we have as women and women of color for those of us who fit that description. I encourage you to stop being afraid in these dangerous times to build community with women and claim your feminism and lastly I again encourage you to spend less time with your child's father if you guys broke up and he is not being the person he is supposed to be because you're doing free PR for someone who does not care about you.

Send us Fan Mail This week I talk about my experience turning 41 while at home sick. I also discuss what I want women to know about getting older and what they can find value in as they explore womanhood: themselves. I also talk about how men's actions don't align with their words and look no further than how they position themselves as leaders but make excuses for poor judgment and sexual discipline like with Sherron Moore. I also briefly discuss the Door Dash Girl incident. Thank you for your ears Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This episode revolves around acknowledging the reason that the holidays no longer feel the same is because women are not investing the same amount of labor into the holidays for free anymore and rightfully so. We also discuss the perception versus the reality that male podcasters promote when it comes to women and dating like Andrew Wilson vs Charlie revealed not only his hypocrisy but that women do have intrinsic value to men which is why they never consider just not dating us. We also discuss centering your sanity and safety in co parenting and why Ray J's latest alleged domestic violence highlights precisely why we should not feel pressure to shelter abusive male family members Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week I am kicking off season 2 talking about the times we are living in politically and how we have to start thinking and moving differently for survival. That we can look to famous women like the rappers we saw feuding a couple weeks ago Cardi B and Nicki Minaj for lessons in survival and decision making. We need to be pushing back on casual misogyny and finding ways to prioritize ourselves and our safety.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Let's talk about how people have a propensity towards trying to tear down women who rap based on stan wars rather than accepting that there are different lanes for each woman to occupy and we don't have to listen to anyone we dislike, Shacarri Richardson's domestic violence against her partner and why we need to have honest conversations about this that still provide understanding that it proceeds to lethal still more often with male abusers.
