In The Passenger Seat with Alethea Crimmins

Send us Fan MailThe room laughed—and Hope chose to build a bigger stage. That’s the energy we bring into this conversation with author, artist, and activist Hope Giselle, a world-changer who turned rejection at a conservative HBCU into a blueprint for queer visibility, campus safety, and unapologetic self-worth. We trace the path from “you’ll never perform here” to founding a student organization, producing a two-hour AIDS benefit in drag, and facing the hidden fees and institutional traps designed to shut it all down. What could have been an end became a playbook: document everything, gather allies, anticipate gatekeeping, and refuse to shrink.We go deeper at a dorm window where despair almost won—and two Black men from student affairs broke the door off its hinges to pull Hope back. That moment complicates the easy narratives and shows what real allyship can look like in Black communities. From there, we explore the “free” chapter of Hope’s life: a marriage that holds her accountable with love, a circle that won’t let her shrink her height or her light, and a boundary with family that protects her peace. If you’ve wrestled with body image, gendered expectations, or the pressure to be smaller to make others comfortable, this is a practical guide. Hope’s line will stick with you: “Everything exclusive goes on sale.” Set your price. Run your race. Keep your pen.We also preview Not Your Average Girl—Hope’s new documentary with grassroots screenings in Atlanta, Miami, LA, and DC—and her expanding HIV and AIDS advocacy, including USCHA in Washington, DC. Come for the story; stay for the frameworks you can use today: how to navigate hostile systems, build chosen family, and live out loud without apology.

Send us Fan MailWhat if every no you’re hearing is quietly saving you for a yes that fits? We sit down with Coach Dawn “The Diva Coach” Thornton—now leading Alabama A&M women’s basketball—to unpack how she turned layoffs, long waits, and public doubt into a platform built on faith, preparation, and unapologetic style. It’s a story that moves from WIC cards and chapel vans to community impact, player development, and a sideline presence that makes confidence contagious.We go deep on the inner game: trusting God in the valley, protecting your mind from borrowed limits, and choosing environments that stretch your roots instead of choking them. Dawn’s mantra, “Your preparation is your separation,” runs through every chapter—from breaking down film and owning mistakes to pruning people and habits that stall growth. She speaks openly about humility, using assistance without shame, and keeping the glass half full while you wait for the phone to ring. When it finally did, she rebuilt with intention, then jumped—heels and all—when the moment came.We also explore fashion as leadership. Dawn partners with Black designers and stylists to craft custom looks that amplify culture and spark pride for her players and fans. It’s not vanity—it’s brand, belonging, and belief. Expect practical takeaways on overcoming rejection, building resilient teams, designing a personal brand in women’s sports, and setting a championship standard without losing your soul.

Send us Fan MailWhat would happen if you stopped begging for a seat at someone else's table and built your own instead? That's exactly what Kerri Paul, a self-described "regular little southern girl" from Mississippi, decided to do. After leaving corporate America behind, she's now the proud co-owner of three thriving Brick and Spoon restaurants across the Gulf Coast, a content creator, and a mompreneur raising "Irish triplets" while building her empire.Raised by entrepreneurial parents who showed her that women could be bosses and multiple income streams were normal, Kerri developed a fearless approach to business. When opportunity knocked, she didn't hesitate to take massive risks—selling her custom-built home and moving in with her parents to secure seed money for her first restaurant. "I'm going to take a risk on myself, I'm going to invest in myself," became her mantra.The southern brunch culture Kerri created through Brick and Spoon isn't just about mimosas and good food (though there's plenty of both). It's about crafting spaces where people feel seen and valued, not just numbers passing through. Her customers sometimes cry when sharing how her story has impacted them, proving that authentic connection builds stronger businesses than corporate strategies ever could.What distinguishes successful entrepreneurs from dreamers? According to Kerri, it's not intelligence or resources—it's consistency. "Consistency has been the key in everybody I know that has a bag," she explains. Combined with her philosophy that "the only time you fail is when you stop," this mindset has carried her through ventures ranging from a shoe store during the 2008 recession to competing on The Amazing Race.Ready to build something that reflects your vision and values? Take Kerri advice: "Get out of your own way. There is nothing standing between you and success but yourself." Start now, start imperfect, and remember that every experience—whether conventionally successful or not—gives you tools no one can take away.Support the showHave a Good Day On Purpose... YA' Welcome

When asked how she stays so grounded, Briannagh offers a perspective that resonates deeply: "I keep God as the main center and focus of my life." This spiritual foundation, alongside a supportive family, has helped her navigate the inevitable rejections in her entertainment career.Perhaps most compelling is Briannagh’s candid reflection on failure.

Send us Fan MailIn a world fixated on conformity, Mrs Kasha Davis stands as a beacon of authenticity and self-love. This powerful conversation traverses the rocky terrain of addiction, self-discovery, and the transformative power of embracing one's true identity.The legendary drag performer opens up about her journey to sobriety—approaching a decade clean after battling alcoholism that stemmed from years of trying to please everyone but herself. "I spent so many years in my youth running away from who I was," she reveals, detailing how the decision to live authentically became her truest act of self-love. This raw vulnerability creates an instant connection, especially when we discover our parallel struggles with addiction—hers with alcohol, mine with food—both stemming from a desperate attempt to numb pain rather than process it.But this isn't just a story of personal triumph. With disarming honesty, Kasha shares how she's channeling her experiences into creating spaces of acceptance through drag story hours, children's books, and university teaching—building the supportive environments she never had access to as a child. When parents approach her after performances saying, "Thank you for showing me my child has a community," she finds her purpose crystallized in those moments of connection across difference.Perhaps most moving is the story of reconciliation with her father—a man who once spat in her face when she came out, but who eventually attended one of her performances and proclaimed, "That's my son, Eddie, and I am so very proud." This unexpected turn reveals how leading with love can sometimes penetrate even the most hardened prejudice, offering hope in seemingly hopeless situations.Whether you're struggling with self-acceptance, battling addiction, or simply trying to find your authentic voice in a noisy world, this conversation reminds us that our purpose is bigger than any force trying to silence us.

Send us Fan MailThe pursuit of authenticity often requires breaking free from everything you've been taught to believe about yourself. In this soul-stirring conversation with viral sensation Khian KB, we journey from small-town limitations to global recognition, uncovering what it truly means to step into your power.Khian opens up about the jarring reality behind social media stardom—having two million followers while struggling financially—and how understanding the business side of creativity ultimately transformed his career. "I had to learn the game," he shares, revealing how brands initially tried to underpay him despite the massive visibility he provided. This raw transparency offers a crucial perspective for aspiring creators navigating similar waters.Beyond the numbers, our conversation delves into the emotional and spiritual dimensions of Khian's evolution. After living 17 years in the closet, dimming his light to make others comfortable, Khian describes the liberation that came from embracing his truth. "I broke out of that darkness and ever since, it feels like the world is my playground," he reflects. His spiritual awakening, including a pivotal moment when his house burned down, becoming the catalyst that forced him to relocate and pursue his dreams, demonstrates how setbacks often serve as divine redirections.Fashion emerges as a powerful theme throughout our discussion. For Khian, clothing isn't just fabric—it's a language that allows him to honor both his masculinity and femininity without constraint. "Fashion is fun," he insists, challenging the notion that we should limit our self-expression based on others' perceptions. His parting wisdom resonates deeply: take baby steps outside your comfort zone, practice being uncomfortable, and remember that growth happens when you're pushed beyond familiar boundaries.Ready to embrace your authentic self?

"What other people think about you is not your business," she declares, setting the tone for a raw discussion about reclaiming personal power. Her song "My Peace" emerged from a painful breakup that left her feeling diminished, yet became the anthem of her transformation: "You can't steal my peace, you can't steal my soul."The conversation takes powerful turns as Freshie vulnerably shares her mental health struggles, including moments where she contemplated ending her life, and how reaching out saved her. "I'm not okay," she admitted to someone after her most recent low point—a statement that demonstrates remarkable courage. Her employers responded by giving her time off, showing what true support looks like when we're brave enough to speak our truth.Perhaps most compelling is Freshie's discussion of what had to die inside her to make room for rebirth: "People pleasing," she answers without hesitation. She explains how, as a natural giver who leads with love, she often found herself manipulated and gaslit by those who took advantage of her generous spirit. The transformation came when she started heeding her intuition and observing people's actions rather than their words.Beyond personal growth, Freshie shares her passion for community building through initiatives like The League Atlanta and We Outside ATL, creating spaces for authentic connection beyond typical nightlife scenes.

By seven, he was performing on Broadway in Disney's Beauty and the Beast as Chip the Teacup, eventually becoming the longest-running actor in that role in Broadway history.But it's Nicolas's deeply personal connection with music that truly resonates.

What if it's actually killing our creativity and joy?Rapper JunoFlo joins me to unravel how the 24/7 productivity mindset has shaped his 14-year music career. From being raised in a household where excellence was the only option to navigating an industry that celebrates sleepless nights, Juno shares how he's learning to balance ambition with well-being. "People become fans of you as a person," he reveals, "and that might be more important than being a fan of the music."We dive into the concept of "glow up guilt"—that uncomfortable feeling when friends and family resist your growth and boundary-setting. As Juno wisely suggests, "Go out of your way to make you happy," which might include taking yourself on an "artist date" to refill your creative well without considering anyone else's needs.I'll leave you with three powerful tools to reset from burnout: remember that productivity without purpose is just noise, schedule rest like it's a non-negotiable meeting, and celebrate quality over quantity in your work.
