Today, we’re diving into a topic as old as media itself: the weaponization of Black excellence. Not Black trauma. Not Black failure. But the confidence, creativity, and visibility that come with being unapologetically excellent while Black.

From film to sports, we explore why the world celebrates Black talent—but constantly polices Black power.

Featuring stories around Ryan Coogler, Shedeur Sanders, and Angel Reese—this episode pulls back the curtain on how media often reshapes brilliance into backlash.

Let's talk about it!

Y’all…I know. I’ve disappeared more times than your favorite uncle at family reunions. But this time, I’m back—and I brought a surprise with me.

In this comeback episode, I’m spilling a little tea and a whole lot of testimony. Yes, I’ve been inconsistent with episodes, but life has been anything but quiet behind the scenes. Spoiler alert: I’m... and the story of how it happened is nothing short of divine. Tune in to find out, silly! LOL

But seriously, this isn’t just a catch-up session—it’s a word for anyone in a season of waiting, wondering if God still writes good stories. Whether you're waiting on love, healing, clarity, or just the strength to keep going, this episode is your reminder: God has not forgotten you.

So, grab your airpods and dive in—we’ve got some catching up to do.

When grief and celebration collide, how do you choose what deserves your energy?

In this heartfelt episode, I open up about the unexpected passing of Grandpa Lane — my partner's grandfather, and in many ways, a grandfather figure to me, too.

He passed the morning after my 38th birthday, reshaping a moment that had always been marked by joy.

Instead of celebration, I chose presence — for my partner, for his family, and to honor a man who lived boldly and loved deeply. Through this experience, I reflect on what it means to grieve selflessly, how we carry the legacy of those we lose, and why living fully is the most powerful tribute we can give.

If you’re in a season of grief or standing between joy and sorrow, this one’s for you.
