    How I Pivoted Into Tech As A Black Woman Ft. La'China Barnes

    Send us Fan Mail In today’s episode, we sit down with entrepreneur, author, creative, and tech professional La’China Barnes — also known as “sotechnicallyspeaking” on IG — for a raw conversation about reinvention, career pivots, identity, confidence, and what it really looks like to evolve in real time. From writing books like:  📖 From College Girl to Stripper… I Mean Entrepreneur 📖 Fck It, I Got The Job: The Silver Lining in Going Backwards* …to stepping into tech, project management, creative direction, and publicly navigating growth, La’China opens up about the pressure of starting over, imposter syndrome, dating while evolving, and learning how to work with her neurodivergent brain instead of against it. We discuss:  ✨ Reinventing yourself without shame  ✨ Pivoting into tech as a Black woman  ✨ ADHD & entrepreneurship  ✨ “Going backwards” to move forward  ✨ Building confidence publicly  ✨ Dating during seasons of growth  ✨ Healing, identity & standing on business  ✨ Turning uncertainty into intention This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt behind, underestimated, or afraid to start over. Because growth sounds beautiful… until you actually have to live through it.

    This Is What Autonomy Really Looks Like Ft. Oya Noire

    Send us Fan Mail What does it really mean to have autonomy as a Black, queer artist in an industry that rewards conformity? This week, I’m joined by musician Oya Noire for a raw and honest conversation about building a creative life on your own terms—even when the system pushes you to perform, produce, and shrink yourself to fit in. We unpack the tension between identity, ambition, and survival, and what it takes to stay rooted in authenticity while navigating visibility, pressure, and growth. We talk about: The moment she realized her voice had power—and that music was her path How love, heartbreak, and real-life experiences shape her sound What performing at SXSW revealed about the industry Why she stepped away from music—and what that break taught her What creative autonomy actually looks like for her If you’ve ever felt torn between being fully yourself and “making it,” this conversation is for you.

    What Does Luxury Really Mean? Ft. Simone Alexis

    Send us Fan Mail This week I'm joined by fashion and luxury extraordinaire, Simone Alexis Webb, who has a way of romanticizing her life. But this conversation goes beyond designer labels and soft life aesthetics. We're talking luxury, dating, the importance of having hobbies, and the narratives women casually adopt without realizing the impact. We unpack what luxury truly means outside of the designer goods, traveling, and tangible things. Why must luxury look different for black women than it does for everyone else?  We dive into the viral "I'm just a girl" plight - is it harmless humor, soft femininity, or a subtle regression for grown women? Are we reclaiming something...or shrinking ourselves? We also unpack the real difference between dating and courting (yes, there is one), and what each says about standards, intention, and effort in 2026. This episode is layered, and you already know we're not holding back!

    Send us Fan Mail This week I'm joined by Kenya aka SheSoVain to discuss all things from the importance of being authentic and knowing yourself to holding men accountable, to motherhood, NYC nightlife, and so much more. We unpack who Kenya is, how she views herself, and what it takes for her to give her time to a man. While many may say that her expectations are unrealistic, she maintains her standards for herself by setting high standards for the men who nay want to date her, thus weeding out the bare minimum doers! We speak about codes she teaches her daughters so that they don't get caught up in this world, in addition to why she went back to bartending at Starlets New York.
