Did a popular motivational speaker lift her work from Black women without credit? We dive deep into the Brené Brown controversy. Plus, we react to a listener accusing us of being "funded by Rush Limbaugh" and celebrate the record-breaking Oscar nominations for Sinners.

In this episode of Raised By Her, we are breaking down the biggest cultural moments of the week. First, we address the feedback from our last episode, including a hilarious comment accusing the podcast of being sponsored by the far right. Then, we celebrate Black Excellence in film as Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s Sinners secures a historic 16 Oscar nominations. Mom also drops a bombshell revelation about being an extra in the 1970s classic Superfly!

The conversation shifts to the changing landscape of sports, from the "deterioration" of College Football due to NIL deals to the continued disrespect of Black women in tennis like Naomi Osaka. Finally, we discuss the allegations surrounding Cassandra "Brené" Brown and the importance of crediting Black women for their intellectual property. We wrap up by sharing our "Words of the Year" for 2026 and how stepping out of your comfort zone leads to true transformation.
