In this episode, I talk about why many Black people don’t trust non-Black communities and where that mistrust comes from. This isn’t about blaming individuals or speaking for everyone – it’s a conversational breakdown of history, lived experience and patterns that have shaped how trust (or the lack of it) shows up today. Given the current political and social climate, conversations about race and trust often turn defensive or get shut down completely. This video is an attempt to slow that dow...
President Donald Trump is under fire after sharing a racist video that dehumanizes the Obama. family using tropes historically rooted in white supremacy. The video depicting Black people as apes is not a joke or a mistake; it's a deliberate racist signal. This isn't new. Trump has promoted ideas for decades, from housing discrimination to birtherism to amplifying hateful content today. In this episode, I explain why this behavior matters, why it's dangerous and why it should never be normali...
In this episode, we have a thoughtful and deeply important conversation with a male survivor of childhood trauma. Male survivors are often left out of public conversations about trauma, healing, and recovery — not because their experiences are rare, but because they are overshadowed by stigma and silence. This discussion is guided by care, consent, and respect. We focus on the emotional impact of trauma, the challenges male survivors face when coming forward, and what healing can look like o...
A former member of Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church has gone public with a heartbreaking testimony: when he and his pregnant wife were facing eviction, he says the church he faithfully attended and volunteered at, refused to help. In this episode, we break down his account, what he claims happened when he reached out for assistance, and the broader questions this raises about megachurch culture, prosperity gospel teachings, and accountability in modern Christianity. This story has sparke...
Donald Trump just crossed a line that should terrify anyone paying attention. In a stunning set of remarks, Trump openly floated the idea of annexing Greenland—framing it as a matter of “national security” and suggesting that only his own personal morality stands in the way of taking such an action. No Congress. No allies. No international law. Just him. This isn’t a policy proposal. It’s a window into how Trump sees power, restraint, and the limits of presidential authority. When a former—a...
What happens when a global superpower treats international law as optional? In this episode, we examine the dangerous precedent set when the U.S. asserts the right to seize foreign leaders—and what that means for sovereignty, international law, and the so-called “rules-based order.” If a sitting president can be targeted, removed, or detained without consequence, then the global order isn’t weakening—it’s already collapsed. Today, we're going to talk about: the legal and historical co...
Every January, we tell ourselves the same lies: “This will be my best year.” “New year, new me.” But if nothing actually changes, the year doesn’t change either. In this video, I’m breaking down the quiet lies we repeat at the start of every year and why motivation alone isn’t enough to make 2026 better than 2025. Growth requires honesty, intention, and uncomfortable action, not slogans. If you’ve ever felt stuck repeating the same patterns year after year, this video is for you. This isn’t...

In today’s video, I respond to Michelle Obama’s recent comments about Black people feeling pressured to straighten their hair to fit white beauty standards. While that pressure has definitely existed historically, I believe Michelle Obama’s take misses a major part of the conversation. For decades, many Black women have developed an adversarial relationship with their natural hair — not only because of outside expectations, but often because of criticism from within our own community....
