The Melanin 360 Podcast

Jorae Williams

The Melanin 360 Podcast was created to make a little space for us to let our afros, braids, weaves, locs - or whatever you're rockin' - down and just have some good ol fashioned fun, and learn a little something in the process with some amazing guests that I respect and admire. I promise to cut to the chase and give you this podcast straight with not a lot of chaser.

    Two Things Can Coexist in the Same Space

    Welcome to Mental Health Awareness Month!  I hope all of you are being kind to yourselves and giving yourself - and others - some grace, especially in this crazy world! Instead just talking about the importance of mental health in general, I wanted to put a different spin on it.  This conversation isn’t about pretending everything is okay. It’s about how gratitude can coexist with healing, therapy, burnout, grief, and growth. My guest, Lenee Baber, author of Mentally Free: 60 Days of Gratitude for a Lighter, Happier You and I have a candid discussion not only about her journal but also getting rid of the old adage that you have to CHOOSE between your mental health journey and gratitude.  Links: Instagram: @themelanin360podcast                      @mentallyfreeofficial TikTok: @_melanin360                @Sarcarrogance   Websites: www.melanin-360.com                    www.sarcarrogance.com Support the show: www.buymeacoffee.com/melanin360                                           CashApp: $Melanin360                                           PayPal: melanin360biz@gmail.com Support the show

    Strong Black Woman...The Truth Behind the Label

    2025...Girl!? What Was That?

    Whew! 2025 showed her ENTIRE A** didn't she?  From city takeovers and some of the most bizarre weather patterns that I've ever seen, to people replacing Tesla emblems with Prius signs...it has been a wild, stressful and sometimes dangerouse ride.  This year definitely  "took us through dere", but unfortunately not in the we wished it did, LOL! In this episode, I highlight the good, the bad and the ugly of 2025. But most importantly, I talk about how we can prepare for 2026 and what we should be focused on.   So, grab a notepad and pen, your vision board supplies and a glass of wine, and lets get to it shall we?

    And The Oscar Goes To......

    Have you ever stopped to think about what role you play in your own biopic?  Do you have the rights to your story? Are you taking charge of the direction and casting so that your movie turns out in a way that makes you happy?  Or are you sitting on the sidelines, watching others direct the narrative and take over the show and your movie winds up going straight to Tubi? (shade, but no shade!) This week I talk about what it looks like to be intentional about who we let into our lives and how it's critical that we assign them their roles - this include our role as well.  And I thought the movie analogy was the perfect way to do it! So pop in those Air Pods or turn up that Bluetooth and let's dive in!

    Where The Hell Have I Been...?

    In the words of one of my favorite SWV songs..."It's About Time"!  Yes, your girl is BACK!  Because life decided to life like it's never lifed before, I had to step away and handle some things - personally and professionally.  But I'm back behind the mic and better than ever!  And I'm bringing the guests, topics, solo rants and that "razzle dazzle" that y'all know only I can bring, along with some new things that you'll hear more about  as we go along. Today, we're going to talk about where I've been and what I've been doing.  You know I couldn't leave y'all hanging like that.  So, sit back, grab a glass of wine and enjoy the show ;) IG: @themelanin360podcast       @sarcarrogance Email:  melanin360biz@gmail.com                                 Website: www.melanin-360.com                  www.sarcarrogance.com Support the show: www.buymeacoffee.com/melanin360                                           CashApp: $Melanin360                                           PayPal: melanin360biz@gmail.com Support the show
