    Oscars 2026, Michael B. Jordan Wins, Oprah Kiss Cam Drama + “High Value Men” Debate | Raised By Her

    From Michael B. Jordan’s Oscar win to a viral Kiss Cam workplace scandal, we break down the cultural moments everyone is talking about in 2026. In this episode of Raised By Her, we unpack the intersection of relationships, power, and public perception. We start with the ongoing prenup debate sparked by Dak Prescott—and what it reveals about marriage as both a love story and a financial contract. We then shift to the 2026 Oscars, celebrating Michael B. Jordan’s standout moment and Misty Copeland’s powerful return, while addressing the continued scrutiny of Black hair in media and why protections like the CROWN Act still matter. From there, we break down the viral “Kiss Cam” controversy—exploring workplace boundaries, leadership, and the cultural response following Oprah Winfrey’s widely discussed interview. We also examine the cancellation of The Bachelorette and what it says about accountability, reality TV, and public image. From “high value” rhetoric to real-world consequences, this episode explores what it means to move with intention, integrity, and awareness in today’s culture.

    Is your money safe? Is your body healthy? In this episode of Raised By Her, we tackle it all. From the viral Dak Prescott prenup drama to the urgent truth about Black men’s health, we explore why protecting yourself—financially and physically—is more important than ever. We kick things off with a deep dive into Dak Prescott’s $260M prenup controversy, sparking a conversation on why millennials and Gen Z couples are increasingly turning to legal safeguards. Then, we shift gears to Black men’s health, breaking down cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer disparities, the backlash comedian KevOnStage faced for advocating checkups, and how preventative care is a radical act of self-love. Finally, we take a closer look at the Target boycott, Jamal Bryant’s recent statements, and whether corporate promises on DEI and supplier diversity are being met.

    The Breakfast Club On Netflix, Viola Davis, Sherry Shepherd, Fast Food Wars & More | Raised By Her

    Why did the McDonald’s CEO “product” ad flop so hard - and what does it reveal about authenticity in 2026 marketing? In this episode of Raised by Her, we unpack the fast-food “brand wars,” the backlash that followed, and why some companies consistently win public trust while others miss the moment. From there, we shift into culture and legacy - reflecting on the NAACP Image Awards, the importance of Black spaces, and the emotional impact of Viola Davis’s viral speech (and why it resonated so widely). We also talk honestly about caregiving, grace, and what it means to show up for family through difficult seasons. Then we get into the media business: Netflix vs. YouTube for podcasting - who’s actually built for discovery, community, and engagement, and whether “viewer platforms” are replacing traditional engagement-first spaces. We close on a joyful note with a milestone 75th birthday celebration, multigenerational wisdom, career pivots, resilience through rejection, and a surprise Alaska cruise reveal.

    BAFTA Controversy, AI Job Fears, and Lupita Nyong’o’s Fibroid Story | Raised By Her

    Why did BAFTA leave a racial slur in the 2026 broadcast—despite a 2-hour delay? In this episode of Raised By Her, we break down the BAFTA controversy, the editorial decision that sparked backlash, and what accountability should look like when a harmful moment is completely preventable. We also unpack the conversation that followed about Tourette’s—why this isn’t about blaming a neurological condition, and why the real issue is the network and production choices that allowed the slur to reach a global audience. Then we shift to women’s health and advocacy, inspired by Lupita Nyong’o’s fibroid story and the renewed push for research and awareness. We discuss how common fibroids are (especially for Black women), why “normal” period pain may not be normal at all, and the symptoms that deserve a doctor visit—not dismissal. We also share personal experiences, holistic tools we’ve tried, and why stress, hormones, and self-advocacy matter. Finally, we zoom out to the 2026 job market: AI isn’t necessarily “taking your job,” but the person who knows how to use it might. We talk about practical upskilling, pushing past fear, and building the kind of communication + storytelling skills employers still value. Important note: We’re sharing lived experience and commentary, not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for personal medical guidance.

We also get into the power of multiculturalism in entertainment, the surprising resurgence of the Milan Winter Olympics, and the wild differences in Olympic medal payouts (Hong Kong vs. USA). Then we switch gears into wellness—what’s actually “self-care,” what’s just suffering—and why our latest detox experience felt straight-up traumatizing. Plus: Cardi B’s “plastic bag” hair-care moment, Black hair rituals, and why Gen Z is ditching driver’s licenses—and what that signals about adulthood, freedom, and the future.

    Is the secret to a happy marriage… living in separate houses? This week on Raised by Her, we unpack the “Living Apart Together” (LAT) relationship trend and debate whether space can actually strengthen commitment—or just delay the hard conversations. We also dig into the viral controversy surrounding Michelle Obama’s Becoming on Netflix and the unsettling online attacks on the former First Lady during Black History Month. Along the way, we share personal stories about navigating racism—from 1950s Alabama to the middle-school basketball court—and why character is still the sharpest form of resistance.
