The bold, the brave and the brilliant.

This episode brings together myself, Ail, and Bella as we reconnect to talk about self-respect, a topic that continues to shape many of our conversations. From there, I highlight the qualities that make both of my guests so inspiring, as well as our shared passion for writing. That naturally leads us into discussing why each of us first started writing and what it means to express ourselves through words. Throughout the episode, I also ask my guests what dignity means to them, opening up honest conversations about self-doubt, personal boundaries, and the challenges of growing into who we are. We reflect on how all of us have changed since the beginning of the podcast — becoming more confident, more introspective, and in many ways very different from where we started. To close, we move into a more thought-provoking question: are we, as a generation, improving on what the older generation used to do, or simply changing in different ways?

A conversation with Lee Smith?

Special guest Lee Smith makes her first appearance,in a raw and honest conversation about life, growth, and the complexities of human connection. Together, we unpack the age-old question: does everything really happen for a reason? Challenging perspectives and sharing personal truths along the way. We challenge the idea of "tough love" and necessity of it in a person's development. Me and Lee also explore the meaning of solidarity what it looks like in practice, how it shows up in the Black community, and where it sometimes falls short. Expect candid reflections on how often our opinions evolve, why that matters, and the realities of working with people especially when values, communication styles, and expectations collide. It's more than ⚫ and ⚪

I need you here . ft - Bella

This episode is a continuation of "economical with the truth" Again joined by the incredible Bella, and together we’re diving deep into faith, relationships, and what it truly means to know yourself. Bella opens up about her journey as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, giving us an honest look into her beliefs and how they shape the way she approaches her idea of a man and love, especially when it comes to courting, the purpose behind it, and why having a chaperone might not be as outdated as people think. But we don’t stop there. We’re asking the questions most people avoid, Are you actually happy? Are you genuinely content? We get into self-love, self-respect, and how other people’s opinions can quietly influence the way we move through life. And I’m not holding back either, I reflect on my own past relationship, the mistakes I made, and the reality of chasing people instead of choosing myself. This episode is honest, eye-opening, and full of moments that will make you pause and think. Remember its more than black and white

"Economical with the truth" Bella

In this episode, I’m joined again by the wonderful Bella for a real and unfiltered conversation about accountability. Last episode the accountability revolved around me now we both share that humble pie. We also explore our different perspectives on truth and honesty — with me sharing my stance on truth, and Bella offering her honest reflections on lying and what’s shaped her views. It’s a conversation that doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable, but leans into it with openness and understanding. Along the way, we dive into evolving ideas of self-respect, the ways we sometimes mask who we really are, and how faith plays a role in grounding us through it all. It’s reflective, honest, and full of moments that might just challenge how you see yourself. Tap in, join and remember, its more than black and white.

flaws and all featuring Bella

In today’s episode, we dive into the theme of accountability with a particular focus on owning our past views, opinions, and personal growth. I’m joined by Bell, and together we have an honest conversation about what it really means to take responsibility for who we’ve been, while continuing to evolve. We then shift into a deeper discussion on self-respect a concept many people value, but often struggle to define in their own lives. We explore what self-respect actually looks like in practice, how it shapes our decisions, and why understanding it on a personal level is so important. This episode is all about reflection, growth, and getting clearer on the standards we set for ourselves.

"I'm comfortable with who I am" RJ

In this episode, I'm proud to introduce as special young man RJ. He's only 17 and his mind set is one I admire. It's been a pleasure watching him grow up to the young man I see today. He's someone that doesn't get alot of opportunity to share how he feels and thinks and for his first podcast I believe he did amazing, I'm proud of him and I think you will be too.

Join me as I sit down with everyday people to explore their unique perspectives on life. Each conversation offers valuable insights and points of view, no matter how different they are from my own. First impressions and perceptions are often misleading here, as the people I speak with are more than just black and white.
