We said we were protecting Black women, right?

I know you can be overwhelmed and underwhelmed. But can you just be whelmed? Here's the IG post I was referencing: https://bit.ly/35VBUCc

N.E. Heartbreak, Uncle Charlie and the African-American urge to say "they be alright"...

I'm Black 365, so keep that performative allyship away from me. …oh, and why didn't anyone warn me about how addictive Wordle is?

Dealing with the adjustments of life, one day at a time.

The girls that get it, get it. And the girls that don't, don’t.

Full disclosure: This episode was recorded at 5 AM in my bed and on my phone so please excuse any audio issues that you don't normally hear. What started off as just a run of show notes turned into a full-blown episode so excuse my morning voice. Now to the meat and potatoes of this episode! The 'Sex and the City' reboot debuted on HBOMax recently …

This week I'm honoring greats, making recommendations and encouraging you to protect your peace.

Sad Girl Fall has me two-steppin in my feelings

It's been a minute, right? Well I'm back and I'm an official hot chicken! Keep listening to the episode and you'll get it. Nashville moving company - https://bit.ly/2ZQbVcz

Nashville is the equivalent of TI's line from 'Motivation', "5'9" with the spirit of a 6'4" (city). Check out 'Pose' and 'High on the Hog' if you haven't already!

Okay y'all, don't get used to this, but I had some stuff I wanted to share with y'all so here with a mini episode! I've officially begun my new role and I'm in Nashville for the week and I wanted to share that excitement with y'all. I'm also discussing the fact that the Backyardigans and their bops are popular again thanks to TikTok, and even share…

I know it's been a minute, but so much has happened over the past month!! On this episode I'll be sharing my BIG NEWS, talking about Bow Wow vs Soulja and how Bow Wow helped me check my lung capacity last year, as well as sharing tips to help you with your mental health journey! May might be Mental Health Awareness Month, but these tips will help y…

Hello…how are you? This week's episode is full of musical references. From Adele to John Mayer to the late great DMX. May he rest in honor. So much has happened in the last month and I wanted to share a bit with y'all on this week's episode as well as talk a little bit about boundaries…or the lack thereof. You know the drill; grab a mug of coffee a…

Looking outside today you wouldn't know that we went through a whole winter storm last week. Link to Houston Resource Guide

Reminding folks that allyship is a verb, that sometimes the little guys do win and sharing an obscure Black History Month fact!

Stop hijacking his words and find out which Tik Tok trend has my attention.

We can't even get all the way into the new year without some mess…damn!

Wi-Fi, wireless bras, and wildin' out on Zoom happy hours....

"Take a break" - Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. Here's my digital planning Youtube video

Gobble me, swallow me. Drip gravy down the side of me.

"We did it. We did it, Joe. You're going to be the next president of the United States." - Madam Vice President, Kamala Harris. Oh, and here' s the link to the blog post I referenced towards the end of the episode.

So Hogwarts was a HBCU that night…

More rebranding, reclaiming time and 'rona travels

Fall fashions, farewell to a giant and fictitious drama on Netflix....

Podcasts and face masks and bottles of bubbly… Snag some cute masks from my favorite shop: TKO Needlepoint Designs

Another week, another podcast episode with Tavaria! She's becoming a regular on here and I'm not mad at that! As you can tell from the title of this episode we're talking about what's going on with the USPS along with a few other things. A certain family decided to co-opt something that wasn't theirs and completely butchered it, and we had thoughts…

And just like that we're back like we never left...and it's true. Like the rest of y'all in this pandemic, we're still in the house, but thanks to all of the content that has dropped recently we're staying entertained! On today's episode, we're discussing Beyonce's new project on Disney+, the old UPN shows that are making their way to Netflix, some…

We're a day late and like this nation, a few coins short but we're here! Tavaria's back on the mic with me and we had to talk about the recklessness we've been seeing folks do in these COVID streets. From pools in clubs to prematurely sending kids back to school in person we have opinions on it all. We even laid into Kanye and the president and CEO…

I saw that phrase on a social media post recently and it stuck out to me because it's the truth. My joy and even my existence is a form of resistance, so that's what I'm going to talk about on this week's episode. I'm sharing some history about the city I claim and love, talking about some of the Black-owned businesses I've been patronizing, discus…

So much has happened these past few weeks and it seems like the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' is no longer seen as taboo. Companies and corporations everywhere are saying in and donating to the cause and Tavaria and I have so many thoughts and feelings about the sudden surge in participation in the movement. We also dive into the history of the upcom…

This week was heavy, like really heavy. Working from home made it easier because I was able to cry when I needed to and I didn't have to deal with people directly. Between the tears and the physical manifestation of dealing with all of this I'm tired. I'm tired of my brothers and sisters being MURDERED and their MURDERERS not being held accountable…

And just like that, I'm back with another podcast episode! Your eyes and ears don't deceive you, I've recently rebranded! On this week's episode we're talking about the last few Verzuz battles, especially when Nelly lost to Ludacris and became a piece of modern artwork. We're also talking about romance during this quarantine period and how it's sti…

On this week's episode I'll be sharing a few more quarantine purchases, as well as my opinion on what Texas is doing on a state and what we're doing on a local level as far as reopening everything. And since my parents are typically a few episodes behind on my show I think it's safe for me to share my Mother's Day gift for my step-mom with y'all. Y…

Shout out to Tyrese and Teddy Riley for this week's episode. Whew chile! Saturday's show was a mess, and Monday's was slightly better. We're (yes, you read that correctly I have a co-host this week) talking about that, stimulating the economy, vetting quarantine baes and more this week. You know the drill, grab a mug of coffee or tea and tune in!…

I was feeling a little inspired by Sunday's episode of 'Insecure' and a conversation that was had on a virtual happy hour this past weekend. I can't guarantee that I'll be dropping weekly episodes during this quarantine (that's now been extended to May 13 in Texas), so don't get used to them but I might have a little something special for y'all nex…

I've lost track of what quarantine day this is, but I will say that I actually put on real clothes today. And by real clothes I mean a jumpsuit instead of leggings and a pullover. Today's episode is about our new Rona normal. I'm sharing my binge watch suggestions (and I just realized that I forgot to mention 'All American' on Netflix, go watch bot…

This week's mini-episode is all about that 'Rona. Y'all know what I'm talking about too, COVID-19/Coronavirus. As many of us are preparing to hunker down for some social distancing I wanted to share a few tips to make working from home a bit easier, as well as a few TV binge recommendations in case you have the time off work. I touched on how I fee…

Last week I mentioned having something special for y'all on the blog...and this is it! It's always nice to collaborate with people you love and admire in real life, especially when they're repeat collaborations! Bri and Jordan are no strangers to the show (or my life), and when Bri pitched this crossover/guest podcast of sorts Jordan and I immediat…

What?! We made it to 50 episodes!!! Thank y'all so much for listening in these past few years, for all of the emails, comments, shares, DMs, everything. I truly appreciate it. Y'all have been super flexible with the hosting changes and rebranding and I hope you continue to stick around because I plan on putting out content for a while! February is …

This is probably one of the most requested episode topics in my messages. Now, this is another one of those 'lite' episodes where it's just me on the mic, but I came across this Instagram post and had to share it with y'all along with my thoughts on it. For the most part, they make really good points and I agree, but there were some that I was eith…

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'm back with the first episode of 2020 and I have a few things to get off my chest. First things first, I'm the realest…and while that's true that's not one of the topics of today's episode. But I am talking about my One Little Word for the year and sharing how I plan to implement it, my scare with not having insurance for a few da…

*I want to apologize now because we totally gave the wrong rapper credit about halfway through this episode. When you get there you'll understand. Apologies Lil Keke!* If you're from Texas or even a DJ Screw fan then I hope you read that to the tune of "Pimp the Pen". If not, do yourselves a favor and check out that song. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, Y'ALL! We'…

Happy Tuesday, y'all! I'm back with another episode and this week I'm talking about a few things that I've been enjoying lately: giving back to deserving organizations, holiday shows, new seasons of old favorites, and Jay-Z! Yeah, that list might sound all over the place but if you know me or if you've been listening to this podcast for a while the…

Y'all!! I cannot tell you how much I've missed being on the mic. Not recording last week was utter torture and I'm so happy to be back today. This episode's been brewing for about 2 weeks, so some of it is new news and some of it's older but either way, I'm discussing it. We've officially kicked off the holiday season and while some folks are hitti…

Y'all, it's November and Fall TV is back! My DVR queue isn't that full since I've cut the cord-ish and have been streaming most things, but I wanted to share some new and old favorites with y'all today. I also wanted to apologize for my voice on this episode, I'm on the tail end of an infection and then spent the day prior yelling and having fun. S…

If you didn't singing the Michel'le song when you read that title can you even consider yourself a 90's R&B fan? I don't think so. I just want to give y'all a heads up, this episode is all over the place. It's a brain dump that includes my homecoming weekend recap, National Period Day, early voting, and more! It's a short one so you probably have t…

I know a lot of bloggers do quarterly and monthly recaps of things that they're loving, and I haven't done that in a while so this short episode is all about that. Feel free to hum the tune if you know it. Michael B(ae) Jordan and his Netflix series, iOS 13 and all the new goodies, Blue Snowball mics and the upcoming vote, THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAV…

Look who got a makeover! I was hit with the creative bug on Friday and decided to rebrand the podcast…ish. I still have the same logo, but I was long overdue for a new podcast graphic. I'd had the same simple one since 2017, and while that was great at the time I felt like it was time for you guys to see the face behind the voice. Especially for th…

I can sum up this episode in 4 words. Power, Hustlers, Privilege, and Trolls. It's another 'Haute Takes' episode so it's a short one, you might only need one mug of tea or coffee to get through it but you don’t want to miss it. Take a listen below, and if you or anyone you know is interested in taking me up on my offer and sharing the mic with me o…
