Life Is So Unserious

This week, we spiral into the beauty of conflict — why rage is eloquent (shoutout Brittany Cooper), why honesty is love (thank you bell hooks), and why avoiding the hard stuff is just fake peace. Unserious News brings Drake’s lace-front saga, DJ Akademiks’ cornrow cosplay, and a Gen Alpha slang lesson from my nine-year-old. And in the end? Kendrick said it best: sometimes you gotta pop out and show niggas.

This week, August’s romance arc takes a stealthy turn — and it’s all caught on my Ring Camera — plus the truly absurd tale of a $300K doll heist.In this episode:Vibe Check: Mental Health check-in from a week that really tried me.Unserious News: Trump’s “crime emergency” takeover of DC’s police (serious-but-not-serious) and the Great Labubu Doll Heist & Recovery of 2025 (chaotic, absurd… and a little telling).Main Spiral: The saga of a borrowed parking pass that became the symbol of a connection quietly returned. Plus, my arrival-day questions as a newcomer to 2025 dating culture — from “Who’s the prize?” to “Why is double texting a crime?”Unserious Award of the Week: Flowers for my Ring Camera, the real MVP in modern dating intel.Until next time — stay soft, stay free, and always stay unserious.

Yo. So I'm doing the thing! Kicking off Life Is So Unserious the only way I know how... slightly chaotic, mostly heartfelt, and completely unfiltered. In this debut, we jump into my weekly Glows and Grows, ponder on some Unserious News, tumble through my main spiral, and hand out the first ever Unserious Award of the Week. No script, no safety net, and no tech people to help me edit in post. What you get is just me, a mic, and the messy magic of doing it anyway.

In this short trailer, host Chanon Michelle introduces Life Is So Unserious—a podcast for the poetic, chaotic, funny Black folks navigating soft spirals, single motherhood, and healing with humor. New episodes weekly.
