    I am who I am

    hi y'all! on this episode i get into something real and deep and that's my journey with queerness. being a 20 year-old who black woman who's recently out isn't the easiest thing in the world, but I still do it with love and grace. in today's episode I talk about my journey to realizing I'm queer, depictions of queerness and how they effected me growing up, and my relationship with religion and queerness. this is an all around episode of me just be daring and myself. while everyone has their own steps on their journey I really like how I present mine with humour in this episode. we're living in very scary times for queer people and culture, but something that I feels triumphs fear is honesty and love, and this is what my epsiode is all about.

    Rerun

    hi y'all! this weeks episode is actually a reshoot of an episode i filmed earlier. a big part of releasing and putting out art is what message do we want to send with it. honestly i didn't like the message i was sending it wasn't giving at allll! so this time i come back on the mic with a little less hurt and a lot more honesty. while being lied and gaslit within a friendship doesn't feel good sometimes when they go low we have to go high. on this episode i dig into what it means to learn from hurt and betrayal, seeing people for their actions and not who they present as, and realizing that sometimes bad sh*t happens and you didn't deserve. this is most certainly an episode that shows growth, strength, and resilience.

    The Villians Dress Better Anyways

    on this episode of pretty people aren't perfect we discuss one of the most hot button topics in today's world the villainization of black women. in a world full of therapy language people are always looking for someone to shift blame too and unfortunately black women are a large group that the blame is defaulted too when people don't want to take responsibility. in this episode of pretty people aren't perfect i discuss my own personal villanization, and what i went through on that journey. this is a self referential deep dive on my life and what it means to be a black women who has been demonized. i decided to name this episode after a quote that i love saying, "if their going to make me a villain so what the villains dress better anyways"

    hi y’all! welcome to my first episode of my podcast! tbh this was something scary and out the box for me, but i said why not. in a world full of squares why not show that there are places for circles! in this episode i get into why i started ppap, what does it mean to have a story behind a pretty face, who am i beyond the color pink, and why what we we see isn’t always the truth. ppap is really like my baby, and i hope y’all enjoy listening as much as i enjoyed making this.
