Episodes

  1. 48. DON’T LET YOUR HEART WAKE UP…

    I love the idea of “love” and I love “love” for other people. It’s such a magical, beautiful thing to see and bear witness to in your loved one’s lives. I also know that I am capable of an amazing love deep down in my soul. There is no doubt in my mind or heart that I was at some point very…

  2. 47. Adulthood is a hustle. It requires OVERTHINKING, at the very least.

    I wanted to grow up so bad. Why? Being an adult means you are constantly putting out fires. You are constantly writing emails to advocate for fair treatment, fair pay, fair healthcare, etc… Adulting is hard. Why the hell didn’t someone warn me like 75 times? Do not get me wrong. I'm not telling...

  3. 46. BEING BLACK AMERICAN AND FEELING BEAUTIFUL

    Growing up in Chicago, sometimes you experienced colorism and texturism inside your family. Yet when you went outside of the home and when you looked at American television, you experienced colorism, racism, texturism, and featurism 24/7. This episode just unpacks some of the things that I had to...

  4. 45. STOP TELLING FOLKS THEY DON'T HAVE NO HUSTLE, YOU SOUND LIKE A DONKEY.

    First of all, Happy New Year. I hope you are well. Thanks for being in this space with me. I appreciate you. Let’s get right to it. For those sadistic little golden monkeys spewing the “if you didn’t hustle harder in 2020, the hustle ain’t in you” rhetoric, I have 3 words for you.. EAT A [BLEEP]....

  5. 44. THE RESTART

    My last podcast episode was on October 16, 2020. The last quarter of 2020, a part of me "tapped out". I had enough creative energy for the #photoadaychallenge #cherisheveryday365 project on Instagram. ( You can visit me at https://www.instagram.com/efabuloushb/ ) I did not write much on my blog.…

  6. 43. WHEN YOU CAN NO LONGER RUN (EDIT)

    So now, in 2020, year of the Murder Hornets and COVID19, I am faced with a huge health challenge. And all I want to do is RUN AWAY. I want to scoop up my kid, my dogs, pack some shit and run. As a Black American Woman, there is NO WHERE ON THIS EARTH TO RUN TO WHERE I COULD POSSIBLY BE SAFE. Read...

  7. 41. THIRTY YEARS AGO, I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL

    What I found so magnificent (for me) during my 30th year virtual high school reunion is that I started to humanize my classmates in a way that garnered more empathy and due care. They were no longer names ingrained in my traumatic teenage tactile memories. They were Mothers, Fathers, cancer...

  8. 40. I am in a fleeting moment of “MEH”.

    I do NOT want to hear anything anyone has to say anymore. All the talking heads, subject matter experts, and gurus are endless. They are also full of shit. Life is hard for us working class Black American folks. Toxic positivity isn’t going to magically solve our oppression or ease the weathering...

  9. 39. THEY PULLED MY MOMMA OFF THE SCHOOL BUS TO PICK COTTON.

    As I laughed with my Auntie Shirley, I mentioned how Black Americans have been suffering over 400+ years of employment, medical, social, fiscal and educational apartheid. I mentioned how it used to hurt me so much when my Mother used to look at the scars from picking cotton that were ingrained in...

  10. 38. Creative Blocks and Quarantine. My brain is fried!!!

    For the last half of the year, I’ve experienced a huge CREATIVE BLOCK. I’ve also questioned what I’m doing in the blogger-space. At this time I find it arduous to get lucrative opportunities as a Black Mom Blogger. Perhaps it is because I’m not one of the social archetypes set aside to limit the...

  11. 37. Why y'all send us these English Muffins?

    Growing up with food boxes in the 80s, I was subjected to a vast amount of Thomas' English Muffins. I loathe them. I do.

  12. 36. I'm Back At It....

    I have been paralyzed by the pandemic, stress and Black American suffering. It had a serious creative block. ...but I am slowly bouncing back.

  13. 35. Black Parenting whilst 3/5th of an American

    I am continuing my discussion about what it means to be a working class, Black American parent in a country that still treats you like 3/5th of a person. This podcast is in conjunction with my blog post titled "Every time..." over at www.EfabulousHB.com. For those Black parents out there, if this...

  15. 33. A discourse to dismantle racism must include HISTORICAL data and facts

    It is just my humble opinion that if you aren't having a discourse rooted in historical fact and data, then there is really no authentic progress being made. You're engaging in social banter that yields no solidarity or even a social education that challenges people to unpack their own...

  16. 32. Mother's Day 2020

    I dedicate this short episode to my Momma. I miss her. I didn't fully appreciate her resilience, moxie, empathy, and love until I became a Mother. #MothersDay2020

  17. 31. Soul crushing stress of being a Single Black Mother during the era of COVID-19

    In the evenings, between the time I put up the dogs for bed and when my Future CEO is ready to be tucked in, I cave into the stress of internal worry about the pandemic. #COVID19 #Weathering #Stress #BlackMothers... Read more at www.Efabuloushb.com

  18. 30. COVID19 and the Black Community

    This is me, briefly, talking through my feelings about how COVID19 has spread through my hometown of #Chicago. This is not a game. Stop playing and stay yo' ass in the house. #SocialDistancing is the new cool.

  19. 29. LET US PLAN TO COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF COVID-19 BETTER HUMAN BEINGS

    I hope you find a better version of you in this quarantine season. Who do you want to become? Who do you wish to be? What is going on inside your head and your heart? I would love to know and I would love for you to find out and have your own break through. Read the blog post that is the mirror...

  20. 28. I have everything I prayed for, it just came at different times.

    God / Universe looked out for me and they still cover me. It didn't all come together how I thought it would, but my heart is full and grateful for small mercies. You can read the blog post that mirrors this episode here: https://efabuloushb.wordpress.com/2020/01/11/myprayerswereanswered/

  21. 27. Quarantine and Quagmires.

    This episode is about adjusting to life under self-quarantine. Discussing the balance of remote working, homeschooling, getting the right information, being kind to yourself and creating an online support system. This podcast episode is a companion the blog post about Parenting during COVID-19.…

  22. 26. All BLACK Everything

    Happy Black American History Month 2020!!! Today's episode I briefly discuss Black American History Month, Black Celebrity versus Black Reality, and my favorite (not) the erasure of middle-aged Black American women. See... All BLACK Everything. For more musings make sure you tip over to my blog…

  23. 25. Slow Motion with your Chronic Illness

    I had so many things to do. So many things to get done. #Sarcoidosis basically put the kabash on any plans I had this week. This is the first time I didn't feel guilty about listening to my body. I rested. I took it slow. My Xmas decorations are up. This is life with a chronic illness, chronic...

  24. 24. Long In The Tooth

    Per the Oxford dictionary online "Long In The Tooth" means "rather old". I am 46 and I guess I am rather old. Yet, I still have a lot of life left in me, especially now that I realize how life and time fleeting. --> Visit efabuloushb.com for my random musings --> Follow me on Twitter, Facebook…

  25. 23. No New Me, New Decade

    It is 2020. It is an entirely new decade. You are the same person, just strive to do better. The resolutions thingy is "old hat"!!!!

  26. Efab? Who you talking to? (Trailer)

  27. 22. Dear Khloe... a great chat with St. Clair Detrick-Jules

    Soooooo, I’m a lucky lady. The universe granted me the opportunity to talk to the talented St. Clair Detrick-Jules about her upcoming book “Dear Khloe“. What is “Dear Khloe” you ask? – here’s a description from the author – “Dear Khloe” is a photography book coming out soon featuring 100 fearless...

  28. 21. Who told you that Co-Parenting was easy? They Lied.

    Co-Parenting is not natural to me, although my parents actually co-parented whilst I was in 8th grade through to my Dad's passing when I was a junior in high school. I know how to co-parent and apparently, I'm kind of good at it. However, I NEVER EVER WANTED TO CO-PARENT. I never wanted to be a...

  29. 20. Social Anxiety on TILT - and that's okay.

    Before we talk about Social Anxiety, let's define it. Social anxiety is the fear of social situations that involve interaction with other people. You could say social anxiety is the fear and anxiety of being negatively judged and evaluated by other people. It is a pervasive disorder and causes...

  30. 19. Ramen really makes me happy ( Part Deux )

    I love Ramen! I don't know how many times I should say it. Now, I also realize my last episode about ramen -- the sound quality was horrible. Thus being a person who is a bit of a perfectionist, I re-recorded the episode. Capiche!!! 🍜🍜🍜 Now let me tell you about the amazing places I had ramen....

  31. 18. Ramen Makes Me Happy

    This is my audio homage to eating a good bowl of ramen. I literally had some amazing ramen at Tamashi Ramen & Sushi off Silver road in Houston, Texas. Then I go on to praise the staff at Agu Ramen off Washington & I-10. Last, but never least shout out to Ramen-tatsuya in Midtown. A culinary and...

  32. 17. Life isn't coming up roses and that's okay. That's life.

    I suffer from depression. I have multiple triggers. As of lately all my triggers seem to stem from managing my single motherhood while managing my Sarcoidosis in tandem. So this is a topic that I plan to revisit often. Sorry, not sorry. It’s my life, I refuse to apologize for it. Read the blog…

  33. 16. It's September, yaaaaay!!!

    In this episode, I am musing about the end of August and what to do as we speed towards the last quarter of 2020. If you have some fall tips, share them with me on #Anchor or Twitter. Don't forget to visit my blog at www.EfabulousHB.com ... Danke!

  34. 15. I don't have anything figured out...

    You wake up one day and you are middle aged. You think about the lofty goals you had in your 20's and you realize you are off course. Life got me waaaaaaay off course. You can read more about my quirky Black woman excellence at www.EfabulousHB.com ... But today, in this episode I am dissecting my...

  35. 14. I don't have Sarcoidosis in my eye.

    My numbers were up and I was panicking. We all thought the Sarc' had moved to my eye. I went through some horrible spurts of depression as I waited to see the retina specialist. I'm Blessed. I do not have it in my eyes. Praise God. However, what about the people who do? What about the single,...

  36. 13. And then was just me

    I know how I got here. I wanted a great love and love story. I got it. It didn’t stay that way. I got a divorce. Shortly thereafter, I lived with a demon amongst men. His soul was filthy and incomplete. Then some time later, I gave the last of my heart to someone who didn’t truly value me. And…

  37. 12. Rest in power, Mr. Bourdain.

    This is just a quick shout out to a personal hero of mine, Anthony Bourdain. #BourdainDay2019 has really moved me. I took this loss so personally. I just wanted to share my thoughts. Rest In Power, Tony.

  38. 11. April is #Sarcoidosis Awareness Month

    Sarcoidosis (pronounced SAR-COY-DOE-SIS) is an inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of granulomas, tiny clumps of inflammatory cells, in one or more organs of the body. When the immune system goes into overdrive and too many of these clumps form, they can interfere with an organ’s...

  40. 9. Forgive me, today I said "um" a lot while sharing my thoughts.

    Look! I do not usually say "um" a LOT. I do say it. Today I had a lot of thoughts about being grown, getting older, Black Americans and all the other stuff that goes with it. Yet, UM dominated my lexicon today. I will do better. I promise you, but there is a message in what I'm saying however...

    I go places. I do. I promise you even though I am a SuperMom who needs to watch my time stringently. I go outside and socialize. Here's a list of my adventures, I will be discussing them on the show. THE #HOUSTONBLACKHERITAGEFEST: A FULL REVIEW...

  44. 5. #TuesdayThoughts

    These are the things I am thinking about this Tuesday, July 31, 2018. It me, just musing or rambling. #MommyFab

  45. 4. Keep It Moving

    It is okay to feel down and recharge your soul. However, don't ever give up and take yourself out the game. Life as a Black American can take such a heavy toll.

  46. 3. Sick pretty lady with Sarcoidosis.

    I'm an older Black American, working mother with a young child. I'm also sick with Sarcoidosis. This podcast is related to my blog post about turning 45yrs old with Sarc'. You can find it here: https://efabuloushb.wordpress.com/2018/03/11/45yrsoldsonowwhat/

  47. 2. So your girl went to #WrestleMania34
