    Dear Mama

    In this episode, I am letting you into a very private part of my heart. I am talking about my mom and what it was like to grow up without the kind of mother I needed. I share what it felt like to have a mom who provided for me but was never truly present. I talk about the moments I had to parent myself, the times I watched her pour love into others, and the ache that followed me into adulthood. This is not just my story. So many Black women carry this same quiet pain. The complicated relationship with our mothers. The emotional distance. The longing for a connection that never came. The patterns we developed to survive. The ways we became everything we never received. I am opening up about the grief of missing someone who is still alive, the confusion of loving a mother who did not choose me, and the hope I still hold for whatever healing God may allow in the future. If you have ever felt unseen by your mother, if you have ever wished for softness you never got, if you have ever carried that ache into your adult life, this episode is for you. I pray that as you listen, you feel understood, comforted, and reminded that your story matters and your heart deserves gentleness. This conversation is real. It is tender. And it comes straight from the core of who I am.

    Things my Mother Never Told me- SEX Edition part 2

    Let’s talk about sex, baby...but not the version you were raised to fear. In this raw, uncensored, and wildly liberating episode, we are pulling up to the mic with no filter and every intention to set your whole body free. This is a call-in and call-out for Black women who grew up under the weight of silence, shame, and sexual suppression. We’re diving deep into the pleasure we were told to hide, the wetness we were taught to feel guilty about, and the power we carry in our bodies when we finally stop performing and start exploring. From masturbation and mirror work to loud moans, kink curiosity, p*ssy memory, and the art of saying “I don’t like that,” this episode is your permission slip to show up fully. You’ll hear why your body’s responses aren’t dirty, they’re divine. Why sex isn’t a performance; it’s an experience. And why your pleasure doesn’t need to be earned, explained, or contained. If you’ve ever been afraid to name your desire, take up space in the bedroom, or admit you want more than the basics, this episode is for you. This one is explicit, empowering, and honest as hell. Why? because Black women deserve sex that honors our bodies, our boundaries, and our brilliance. You were never too much. You were never broken. You were never dirty. You were just waiting to meet yourself untamed. Grab your liquor and your bud, cause it's going down down down!

    Things my Mother Never Told me- Sex Edition-PART 1

    Hey yall hey! This isn’t your church’s purity talk, and it sure as hell ain’t a crash course in repression. This is real conversation about sex—messy, sacred, complex, and wildly human. We’re breaking the silence on shame, pleasure, consent, queerness, kink, healing, and everything in between. We are talking about all bodies, all dynamics—same-gender love, G-spots, BDSM, safe sex, sacred sex, loud sex, awkward sex, no sex—because it all matters. No censorship. No filters. Just raw truth, deep dives, and the freedom to unlearn the lies we were fed. This is a podcast for the curious, the healing, the freaky, the faithful, the pissed off, the figuring-it-out, and the ready-to-reclaim-it. We don’t preach here—we liberate! This is only part one. Grab ya liquor and your bud and let's vibe baby!

    Things my Mother Never Told me- LOVE Edition

    This one’s for the Black women who were taught how to endure, but never taught how to receive. We were raised to be ride-or-die. To pray, press on, and keep quiet. But what if the love we were taught to accept… was never love at all? In this episode, we’re unpacking the quiet wounds: The lessons passed down from mamas who were just surviving The way religion shaped our view of love, worth, and submission Why being chosen ain’t the same as being cherished And how to start unlearning love that was rooted in fear, performance, and pain I’m speaking to the strong Black girls who never got to be soft. The ones who thought struggle was a requirement for connection. The ones who are just now realizing: You don’t have to earn love through sacrifice. You are allowed to be loved gently. Fully. Freely. Let’s unlearn together. Grab ya liquor and your bud, let's talk!

    Things my Mother Never Told me- Mental Health Edition

    Hey baby—there’s a lot our mothers never told us. And I don’t say that to place blame. I say that with love, with grief, and with a deep understanding that silence was survival for them. Our mothers, grandmothers, aunties—they loved us the best way they knew how. But when it came to things like depression, anxiety, trauma, or emotional regulation… most of them didn’t have the language, the tools, or the time. They were surviving systems, heartbreak, poverty, racism, and religion that told them to stay quiet and keep pushing. In this episode, we’re having the conversation so many of us needed growing up. We’re diving into the things we were never told about mental health—especially in Black homes. We’re talking about what depression really looks like. How it shows up in our bodies, our parenting, our relationships, and even our worship. We’re talking about what happens when “be strong” is all you were ever taught. What happens when you grow up believing emotions are dangerous, weak, or shameful. I’m speaking to the sons who were told not to cry. The daughters who were told to hold it all together. The children who were punished for having feelings. And the grown folks now unpacking pain passed down like family heirlooms. I’m sharing from my own story, my background as a therapist-in-training, and the lived experience that so many of us carry. This isn’t about shaming our mamas or tearing down our elders. It’s about holding space for their struggle while choosing healing for ourselves. Because we do have choices now. We have language. We have help. And we have permission to feel, to rest, and to do things differently. So let’s talk about it. Let’s name the pain. Let’s unlearn the silence. And let’s finally give ourselves what so many of our mothers didn’t know how to give us: the freedom to heal. Grab ya liquor. Grab ya bud- let's talk baby...
