And All That Jaz - Podcast

We said we were protecting Black women, right? 

I know you can be overwhelmed and underwhelmed. But can you just be whelmed? Here's the IG post I was referencing: https://bit.ly/35VBUCc

N.E. Heartbreak, Uncle Charlie and the African-American urge to say "they be alright"...

I'm Black 365, so keep that performative allyship away from me. …oh, and why didn't anyone warn me about how addictive Wordle is?

Dealing with the adjustments of life, one day at a time.

The girls that get it, get it. And the girls that don't, don’t.

Full disclosure: This episode was recorded at 5 AM in my bed and on my phone so please excuse any audio issues that you don't normally hear. What started off as just a run of show notes turned into a full-blown episode so excuse my morning voice. Now to the meat and potatoes of this episode! The 'Sex and the City' reboot debuted on HBOMax recently and I binged the first two episodes. I have so many thoughts and feelings about the new cast, the Big changes, and the way they're helping destigmatize the conversation around mental health already! I'll be sharing my thoughts on those first two episodes as well as some Insecure episodes that helped make me comfortable enough to not only share my recent struggles with depression with loved ones but with y'all. But don't worry, we'll be ending the episode on a high note with some info for an upcoming trip I have planned to DC for Issa Rae's #HooraeTakesKC event! If you're thinking about going make sure you grab your tickets when they go on sale on Dec 14!

This week I'm honoring greats, making recommendations and encouraging you to protect your peace.

It's been a minute, right? Well I'm back and I'm an official hot chicken! Keep listening to the episode and you'll get it. Nashville moving company - https://bit.ly/2ZQbVcz

Nashville is the equivalent of TI's line from 'Motivation', "5'9" with the spirit of a 6'4" (city). Check out 'Pose' and 'High on the Hog' if you haven't already!

Okay y'all, don't get used to this, but I had some stuff I wanted to share with y'all so here with a mini episode! I've officially begun my new role and I'm in Nashville for the week and I wanted to share that excitement with y'all. I'm also discussing the fact that the Backyardigans and their bops are popular again thanks to TikTok, and even shared the @scarypockets cover of "Castaways". And I'm rounding out the episode discussing the 100 year anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre and information about Bruce's Beach in California. Feel free to read up on those topics here while you enjoy the episode: Bruce Island - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/18/us/bruces-beach-manhattan-california.html Tulsa Massacre - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_massacre#Film_and_television

I know it's been a minute, but so much has happened over the past month!!  On this episode I'll be sharing my BIG NEWS, talking about Bow Wow vs Soulja and how Bow Wow helped me check my lung capacity last year, as well as sharing tips to help you with your mental health journey! May might be Mental Health Awareness Month, but these tips will help y'all year-round! So grab your coffee and tune in! 

Hello…how are you? This week's episode is full of musical references. From Adele to John Mayer to the late great DMX. May he rest in honor. So much has happened in the last month and I wanted to share a bit with y'all on this week's episode as well as talk a little bit about boundaries…or the lack thereof. You know the drill; grab a mug of coffee and tune in!

Looking outside today you wouldn't know that we went through a whole winter storm last week. Link to Houston Resource Guide

Reminding folks that allyship is a verb, that sometimes the little guys do win and sharing an obscure Black History Month fact! 

Stop hijacking his words and find out which Tik Tok trend has my attention.

We can't even get all the way into the new year without some mess…damn!
