    Media Literacy & the Pursuit of Virality - Why Certain Stories Go Viral and How They Influence Us

    When everything is breaking news, NOTHING is breaking news. In an era of virality where legacy media is competing with podcasters, influencers, and content creators, journalism, accurate reporting, and unbiased news reporting are a thing of the past as everyone is chasing being first rather than correct. It is important now more than ever to develop your media literacy and this video discusses not only how but why this is so important.#medialiteracy #viral #media 0:41 media sensationalism is NOTHING new1:43 shifting media patterns2:35 media literacy3:19 echo chambers9:14 rage bait9:57 generational trends in media consumption14:10 the attack on media 16:05 what's the solution?25:34 in closing

    Provider Man Propaganda & Tradwife Tales - You've Been LIED To, DON’T Believe the Hype!

    I’m not even going to hold your hand when I say this - YOU ARE UNDER SPELLS! When it comes to this provider man and tradwife content, a lot of y’all are allowing social media to skew your perception of reality. Women have always working in this country. The idea of a provider man is a myth. Money does NOT come from men. In 2026, there are far too many ways to make money than to be depending on a man to save you. #sahm #workingmom #provider 2:31 women have ALWAYS worked7:10 enter the tradwife propaganda era11:50 SAHMs vs Working Moms is LAME & a distraction14:04 the myth of the provider25:32 can you afford to become a SAHM?28:44 quality of life as a SAHM31:52 50/50 relationships34:20 in closing

    Walking Away from a 6-Figure Job - Leaving Corporate America & What it Would Take to Go Back

    Last year, the media barely reported on the estimated 300,000 to 350,000 Black women being pushed out of the workforce. When it was reported on, it was framed as these women "leaving" the workforce rather than the reality that there were a series of intentional policy choices in both private and public industry that forced them out.I am one of the Black women however who left, by choice. Choosing to leave a six-figure job in a time of economic uncertainty is not a decision that is made lightly however when it comes to your peace being compromised, the decision is pretty clear. This may or may not be a forever thing, time will tell but if I were to ever return to corporate, there are a few things I would do differently and look for in a work environment.#corporate #corporatelife #corporateculture 0:00 intro1:46 entering corporate - 20095:41 why I left corporate - 202515:24 who walks away from a six-figure job?!20:07 what would I need to go back?32:18 scarcity or desperation keep you complacent38:16 leave sooner, it will NOT get better41:48 in closing

    Misogynoir on Social Media

    While there is no such thing as a "safe space" on the internet, the fact that two highly visible Black women content creators have been run off social media for the same thing - misogynoir and vitriolic abuse. Misogynoir in media has always existed however the fact it is increasingly prevalent on social media speaks volumes to the ways many use social media to spew anti-Blackness, racism, and hate to Black women on the internet in a time where we have more control of our image and narrative.

  7. Why Don't People Say 'Hi' Anymore & The Loss of Third Spaces

    Why Don't People Say 'Hi' Anymore & The Loss of Third Spaces

    A conversation was sparked on TikTok about the decline in customer service and why people don't say "hi" anymore which snowballed into a larger conversation about the sharp decline of third spaces, loss of village, community building, and the loneliness epidemic. This conversation is more nuanced than allowed on TikTok so I wanted to do a longer video to flesh out my thoughts and provide commentary about what I think is happiness and how we improve things before it's too late.

    Sasha 4.0 - Coming Back from 2022 Burnout & Living 2023 with Intention

    2022 was a challenging year filled with beautiful highs and frustrating lows. If I could describe my 2022 in one word, it would be "burnout". I thrived during the lockdown pandemic days. Going back to "normal" felt like a giant rollercoaster I did NOT want to be on and it really threw me off balance. It made it hard to focus and the things that became important fell by the wayside. I didn't feel like I could show up in an authentic way and sporadically podcasted as a result. 2023 has been wildly different. At the beginning of the year I told myself I would not be bringing that energy with me into the year, would be prioritizing, focusing, and saying a lot more. I'm here to talk about this year and in a new format: ON CAMERA!
