The Star Within: Uplifting Black Freedom

In this raw and emotionally charged episode of The Star Within, Jazzy sits down with co-host Dávon and guest DB for an unfiltered conversation about what freedom really means for Black people in America—beyond Juneteenth, beyond hashtags, and beyond survival. From the exhaustion of emotional labor and the theft of Black innocence to the gaslighting of Black experiences and the commodification of Black culture, this conversation holds nothing back. DB and Dávon speak boldly about their lived realities, their boundaries, and their need for healing and wholeness in a society that too often demands their silence. This episode isn’t comfortable—but it’s real. It's a space for truth, for grief, for clarity, and for the love that persists between and within Black people even when the world refuses to see it.

The Star Within: Gender, Power, and the Fire That Reckons

In this honest and wide-ranging episode of The Star Within, Jazzy, Davon, and DB unpack what it means to live beyond the binary—diving deep into gender identity, attraction, and why complexity feels more authentic than convention.

Diddy allegations and the symbolic burning of Nottoway Plantation. Raw, funny, and sharply observant, this episode sits at the crossroads of justice, identity, and collective healing.

The Star Within: Space Racism, Shannon Sharpe & Why Straight Men are Gay

Jazzy, Davon, and DB go deep on Shannon Sharpe’s chaos, raceplay, and the myth of straightness in this wild ride through kink, queerness, and culture. They unpack the healing power of video games, horny furries, and the inner child, then pivot to astrology bigotry (aka “space racism”) and a full roast of bland white man porn. NSFW, unfiltered, and wildly entertaining.
