    Lowkey Unforgettable Ep. 8 | Insecure S1E8 Finale “Broken as Fk” Rewatch

    We’re back with another episode of Lowkey Unforgettable. In this episode, I’m revisiting Insecure Season 1, Episode 8 — “Broken as F**k.” This is the finale… and you feel it. Everything we’ve been building toward all season comes to a head. Relationships are strained, emotions are raw, and nothing feels settled. Issa and Lawrence are forced to face the reality of where they are, and it’s not pretty. At the same time, Molly is sitting with the consequences of her own patterns, and you start to see the beginning of something shifting… even if it’s uncomfortable. I break down the moments that hit the hardest, the conversations that needed to happen, and what this finale really says about love, growth, and starting over. Because sometimes things don’t end clean. Sometimes they just… break.

    Lowkey Unforgettable Ep. 7 | Insecure S1E7 “Real as Fk” Rewatch

    We’re back with another episode of Lowkey Unforgettable. In this episode, I’m revisiting Insecure Season 1, Episode 7 — “Real as F**k.” This one is heavy. Emotions are high, tensions finally spill over, and the cracks we’ve been seeing all season fully break open. Issa and Molly get into it in a way that feels real, uncomfortable, and long overdue. At the same time, Molly is faced with the idea that therapy could actually help her… but she’s not quite ready to face her own mess. And then there’s Lawrence. Because the truth comes out. And when it does, everything explodes. I break down the emotional moments, the confrontations, and what this episode reveals about accountability, friendship, and what happens when avoidance catches up to you.

    Lowkey Unforgettable Ep. 6 | Insecure S1E6 “Guilty as Fk” Rewatch

    We’re back with another episode of Lowkey Unforgettable. In this episode, I’m revisiting Insecure Season 1, Episode 6 — “Guilty as F**k.” This is where everything changes. The tension that’s been building finally turns into action… and not in a way you can just move on from. Issa makes a choice, and from this point on, nothing feels the same. I break down the moments that led up to that decision, the emotional buildup, and the aftermath that starts to settle in almost immediately. This episode isn’t just about what happened… it’s about why. If you’ve ever tried to ignore your feelings, justify your actions, or sit with guilt you can’t shake… yeah, this one hits.

    Lowkey Unforgettable Ep. 5 | Insecure S1E5 “Shady as Fk” Rewatch

    Welcome back to Lowkey Unforgettable. This week, we continue the rewatch with Insecure Season 1, Episode 5. In this episode, tensions start to build as Issa and Molly both navigate situations that don’t sit quite right. From subtle shade to unspoken feelings, we see how communication, assumptions, and ego can start to impact relationships. Issa continues figuring things out in her own way (messy AF), while Molly finds herself confronting what she wants versus how she’s moving, especially when it comes to love and expectations. This episode leans into the moments where things aren’t said directly… but are definitely felt. Messy AF! I break down the scenes that stood out, the ones that made me pause, and the moments that felt a little too real.

Meanwhile, Molly continues her search for connection, facing the ups and downs of dating and what it means to truly be seen. This episode leans into themes of desire, validation, and the moments where we might be doing a little too much… but also learning more about ourselves in the process. I break down the moments that made me laugh, pause, and reflect, and share some unfiltered thoughts along the way.

    Lowkey Unforgettable Ep. 1 | Insecure S1E1 “Insecure as Fk” Rewatch

    Welcome to the very first episode of Lowkey Unforgettable. When I heard that Insecure was leaving Netflix, I had a small moment… and it reminded me just how much this show meant to so many of us. So naturally, I did what any passionate fan would do and started a podcast. Lowkey Unforgettable is an unofficial, loosely rewatch podcast where I revisit episodes of Insecure and talk through the moments that made the show so relatable, funny, messy, and real. In this first episode, I talk about the inspiration behind starting the podcast and why Insecure continues to resonate years later. Then we go back to the beginning and revisit Season 1, Episode 1. We meet Issa, Molly, and the world that introduced us to mirror raps, complicated friendships, relationship questions, and the feeling of trying to figure life out in real time.
