I'm Krystal Franklin, mostly known across the world wide web as an opinionated Journalist, host, and award-winning producer. Online, my career and life has the ability to look glamorous, but IRL it's actually quite the opposite. I share my personal and professional experiences to encourage others to operate at their highest potential and to fully take up space in the world by pushing past fear, doubt, and insecurities.

    Who Would I Be If You Were Still Here?

    I’m f*****g proud of myself for unlearning, divorcing traditional thought, and establishing boundaries. I only know myself broken from practically birth. Would’ve love to know who I would’ve grown into if I was born healed.

    Who Inspires The Inspired?

    Who Inspires The Inspired?

    I’ve been struggling quite a bit over the last six months with feeling disconnected from all the things I’m famously known for online – my work, my voice, my impact, this podcast…even conversations around #WithABoy has dwindled because, well quite frankly, ain’t no mothafuckin' boys to talk about, which obviously brings about separate feelings. But along with the disconnect, I’ve also been carrying a really weird and uncomfortable weight of inferiority and insecurity. I open up about the last six months of my life and finally admit I'm depressed.

    How Long Does it Take a Heart to Heal?

    How Long Does it Take a Heart to Heal?

    When I think about those four months of my life I smile. I’m grateful that I was introduced and got to live in the most beautiful bubble of love ever. And as much as those moments were incredible — I’m ready to move on. Almost desperate to. As much as ebbing and flowing is apart of life, I done did it enough. Tap me out of the ebb and place me in the flow.

Finally Someone Relates

Whew, finally getting around to listen to the “Let’s Talk About Sex” episodes and with tear filled eyes, it was so refreshing to know I’m not alone. I’m 31 and still dealing with lack of confidence and comfort sexually but after listening to these two episodes it gave me a sense of “maybe it’s not too late” and created an urgency to want to truly be OK with all things sexual. Thank you Krystal, you don’t know how much this has truly helped me.
