Welcome to Blatantly Honest with Makaila Nichols! I'm your host, Makaila. On today's episode I will be interviewing myself because why not?! This way, you will have a better understanding of who I am and the direction that this podcast will be going. I plan to post weekly content and interview guests from a variety of backgrounds, careers and lifestyles. I hope to use this platform to raise awareness on social issues and let people know that they are not alone. So without further Adieu, sit back, relax and become Blatantly Honest.
