I Digress

How do we raise women who understand body autonomy? What is Body Autonomy: the self ownership and self-determination human beings over their body. How do we practice body autonomy amongst ourselves? Is it up to us to heal ourselves and then teach men the same? By teaching them do we make our environments safer?

Mean Girls are a way of the world no matter the nationality, race, pronoun some people are mean manipulative and insecure. There's nothing you can do except Harriet the Spy them, if you know you know.  **Since recording this episode Nicki Minaj has has caused continuous discord among female rappers. For what reason, idk it's above my tax bracket but it feels like its nothing to do with the women she attacks. Erica Banks the "Buss it" rapper proved my theory, if you're asking what theory, click play!

A few months ago I asked my Instagram followers who would win in a fight between Boosie & Saucy Santana, and I was pleasantly surprise. Is there an agenda afoot. Can someone be influenced into doing something that doesn't otherwise come natural to them? Is there an age where celebrities have more influence than parents? **Since recording this episode Boosie has been kicked off IG and ban lifted from State Farm Arena. Per use as a broke clock he's been right and made a valid  points in regards to the culture. Santana has done appearances with Madonna, had endorsements and refused to apologise to Blue Ivy. Lil Nas X has been living his beautiful gay life with no recent threats from Mr.Bad Ass  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6LIcHpQSfukXeedUoaos76?si=3a63c9276dad440e

We are opening this season with a look back at some of our nineties and millineial starlets and lessons learned from their public breakdowns, and ask did watching their meltdowns push the "self-love" generation. If so are men in the middle of their awakening? Since recording this episode Britney Spears got married. Ms.Sheryl Lee Ralph received her flowers publicly winning her first Oscar, and Lauryn Hill's daughter walked in a fashion show during Paris Fashion Week.

I was going to say y'all know the rest but I don't think y'all do. IF, IT, DOESN'T APPLY, LET! IT! FLLLYYY!!!! Why is that concept so hard? Why is listening ALWAYS the task you choose not to perform? Today we are discussing the topics addressed in Dave Chappelles last Netflix comedy special. The same themes we constantly discuss b/c Virgo minds are all over the ISM's y'all use to block us from living our lives at our highest potential. 

PHEW, Texas!! Sometimes I feel like if Mississippi had a threesome with their cousin Alabama and LA, and they both got pregnant it would be TX & FL. So many things going on and still you accomplish NOTHING!!!!!  Haiti is still in need if you want to help please see the resources below: Resources for Haiti Faith for Black Lives Call (202)456-1111 to end Title 42 Hope for Haiti Https://hopeforhaiti.com World Central Kitchen Https:wck.org Convoy for Hope www.convoyofhope.org Capracare www.capracare.org/donate Haitian American United for Progress www.haupinc.org Follow @onemilliongirls @haitiantimes @R29Unbothered

The past 2 seasons of America has been suspenseful and there is always something to discuss. In the words of the comedic genius Gene Wilder "So much time, so little to discuss. Strike that, reverse it." Taped on Sept 8th we discuss everything from women in the music industry to "are fast food chains targeting the black community?" all the shows that I'm not sure if you should be watching and everything in between. As usual always happy to be talk to you. I hope I can help you break the ice in new environments or have you think differently about any of these subjects.

It's Virgo season so everything I say is actual factual this episode is your wakeup call. COVID put relationships all around the world. Many didn't make it for those that did CONGRATULATIONS!! You have survived your first Hunger Games! The only way you can make it through is intentionally. Be present in your relationship with your partner and yourself.   

Boy oh boy men all over the world are showing out, what's wrong? Why is it bothering y'all so much that people saying yes to their mental health. How are you mad because people are loving those who love them? Why is everyone else putting themselves 1st and expressing themselves making some of you men uptight. Black or white, straight men have been trying to put those who are "weaker" or "inferior" in their place. Y'all wild! I have my own theories so tune in let me know if im all the way off or if you agree that well... SOME MEN DESERVE LESS!!!! 

As promised in the last episode here is a review of A24 Zola. Please see my previous post reading the infamous Zola tweets that inspired the film. Make sure you see the movie in theaters and most importantly donate to Polaris Project. A non-profit organisation that works to end human trafficking in the US. Although there was a happy ending for our heroine and antagonist, that isn't the case for many girls trafficked in the US and around the world. Lastly, fuck feminism them hoes never loved us. Womanism for the win!  

Since recording this episode on May 19th here are a few updates on the topics discussed. Bombs, protest and violence have escalated in Palenstine. Both GA and TX have passed laws suppressing voters rights(HR1 and HR4). While TX passed legislation against women's reproductive rights with the heartbeat bill. Yet, still no contemporary ideas for our grid to prevent future failures like the ones we've experienced this year. Aaliyah's debut album Age Ain't Nothing But A Number turned 27 on May 24th. Her sophomore album One in A Million turns 25 years old, two days after the 20 year anniversary of her death. That continues to baffle me, and cements my belief that free will and destiny are present in our everyday lives, and it is only with hindsight that we can connect the dots. The waterfall at the Underground is still off. This episode cover is a photo of my mom at the Underground when they came for their anniversary in 94'. My. ode to the A back in the day.

No behaviour is singular to a race or gender, it is simply human behaviour. However, ladies, today is the day we discuss "Toxic Femininity" because hindsight without action is a life of perpetual groundhogs day. 

I love music, movies, art any form of expression. It is our responsibility to speak on the things happening in the world. I, however, need to process what I'm seeing, what I'm feeling. I can't always speak on current events b/c it's trending. So today I decided to not speak on anything of substance and just speak to the artist who have brought me joy. I hope you find a smile, we can save the tough stuff for another day.

The movie Zola based on the viral tweets from A'Ziyah Wells King was released in theatres on June 30th. After almost 6 years and 2020 you may not remember the story. So I have done the strenuous work of narrating The Legends of Zola for your listening pleasure, you're welcome. Stay tuned for part 2. This episode cover is a photo of the real Zola, A'Ziyah staring in Solange's "When I Get Home" Stay Flo. Fun fact Jessica could never, reason to be a hater ass bitch #1. 

Men are just mad they not getting flawed out. We'd be mad too if we didn't have fairytales like Pretty Woman and real life Cinderellas like Anna Nicole Smith (RIP) Eve and Cardi B. From poles to goals a strippers guide to sugar daddies, rap stardom and a better life. Today is the day we discuss do men hate hoes or are they just jealous?

Someone who is hated by the world but loves themselves, will out live those loved by the world but hate themselves. Thank you for the love, the light, the lessons and the prayers Mr.Simmons. I pray you now know peace.

This episode includes spoilers for the television show Snowfall on FX. I have and will warn you multiple times, I am sorry for nothing, you knew. Praying to the Saint Lucia I don't hurt myself watching tonights episode. Y'all think Lucia coming back for real? Never mind this can escalate, quickly, ENJOY

"My world it moves so fast today, the past it seems so far away." Ms. Lauryn Hill. It's remarkable the way technology is growing and evolving as fast as the earth turns. It's easy to get *Usher voice* CAUGHT UP!! Through it all remember your why and never get caught up in the why nots. In the end, I just hope my NSA Agent is proud of me. I hope they see the growth, and smile b/c I KNOW you're watching.
