    Voting is Fundamental: What are the midterms?

    Politics can be complicated. Keeping up with current events, doing the research, and trynna make it make sense? Low-key anxiety-inducing. And while we might remember a thing or two about elections and government from elementary school… let's be for real, nobody remembers all that. This series is here to break down what's happening in the political and economic state of the world in a more understandable way. Because it's not just about voting; it's about being informed, doing your research, and making educated choices every time you hit the polls.

    Got milk?

    Full transparency: I got to a point of going back to the ways the Lord delivered me from. Repenting for the same sins over and over until the Lord let me know I desperately needed some good ole pure spiritual milk. Knowing the word is one thing; graduating from milk to meat and being a constant DOER of the word is another.

    Desire VS Discipline

    Something I have learned is that desire and motivation alone will not help you reach your goals. The real changes happen when we begin to push past ourselves and let discipline steer our actions.

    The book of Jude

    In this episode, we take a closer look at one of the shortest books of the Bible—Jude. Though brief, it carries a powerful and urgent message for God's people. Join me as we go verse by verse, breaking down this word and exploring how it remains just as relevant today as it was then.

    The PH Files: Black Maternal Health Crisis

    I dedicate this episode to Dr. Janell Green Smith, a woman who carried the torch and used her voice to advocate for Black mothers everywhere. In honor of Black History Month, this episode of my public health series shines a light on a critical issue impacting the Black community in the United States: the alarming rates of maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women. These tragedies should not only trend when another life is lost, but they also deserve to be part of an ongoing, urgent conversation about what is happening in our own backyard. In this episode, we explore the history of maternal care in America and examine how its legacy continues to shape the experiences and outcomes of women today.

    Conviction = Connection

    Oftentimes, as believers, we tend to hide in shame when we struggle instead of leaning on God. One wrong move, and you're backsliding like a '90s R&B singer! It becomes easy to carry silent shame when we fall short, choosing to hide rather than seek God's grace. I've learned that the more I run from God in my moments of despair, the further I drift from Him.

    Hearing what God said to me

    What do you need to release to hear what God is saying to you? In this episode, I share a revelation that was revealed to me about how God was moving in my life in ways I wasn't able to know unless I meditated on his word.
