  1. What We Normalize (The Black Edition)

    FEB 19

    What We Normalize (The Black Edition)

    What have we been taught to normalize as Black people — and is it time to break those patterns? In this Black History Month episode, I’m unpacking overworking, emotional suppression, loyalty over boundaries, silence for peace, and why struggle doesn’t have to define us. We’re also touching on the Evelyn Lozada clip, Bad Bunny’s halftime moment, and spotlighting powerful reads from Black authors. This one is reflective, honest, and necessary. Welcome back to The Vulnerable Room!

    Everyone Wants a Village

    We all want support, community, and people who show up — but what does it really take to build a village?In this episode, I reflect on expectations, reciprocity, and the quiet disappointment that comes when support feels one-sided. This isn’t about calling anyone out — it’s about calling all of us in.Bonus: This episode also includes a few book reviews and thoughtful treats sprinkled throughout — with one waiting for you at the very end, so be sure to listen all the way through 🎧✨

    Healing is Ghetto Sometimes

    Nobody talks about this part of the journey… The part that feels heavy. Lonely. Ugly. Where you’re breaking before you bloom. In this episode of The Vulnerable Room, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real side of healing — the moments that don’t make the highlight reel. The version that isn’t so pretty. 🎙️ Plus, I’m catching y’all up on: 🇯🇲 My trip to Jamaica 👨🏾‍🦱 Father’s Day reflections 📚 Some honest book reviews 📺”Forever” review 💌 “Room for Advice” This one is layered, raw, and real.

    Mornings Are A Love Language

    If your mornings feel rushed, chaotic or like they belong to everyone but you, this one's for you. In this episode, I'm talking about the magic of morning routines - why they matter, how they ground you, and how reclaiming just one hour can shift your whole day. Let's talk stillness, intention, and pouring into you first. Remember the convo doesn't stop here!
