In this raw and emotionally charged episode of The Star Within, Jazzy sits down with co-host Dávon and guest DB for an unfiltered conversation about what freedom really means for Black people in America—beyond Juneteenth, beyond hashtags, and beyond survival. From the exhaustion of emotional labor and the theft of Black innocence to the gaslighting of Black experiences and the commodification of Black culture, this conversation holds nothing back. DB and Dávon speak boldly about their lived realities, their boundaries, and their need for healing and wholeness in a society that too often demands their silence.

This episode isn’t comfortable—but it’s real. It's a space for truth, for grief, for clarity, and for the love that persists between and within Black people even when the world refuses to see it.
