    So Doechii says that straight men are her red flag? While Doechii has been open about her dating choices and opened up publicly about the topic...

  4. Episode 118: Don't Ignore Yellow and Orange Flags

    This week's episode...I had a rant in lieu of a confession or dating horror story. We hear talk about red flags all the time but what those trivial things we ignore or let slide?

  8. Episode 115: Choice I Made

    Not the 1st time I've been down this road. And while I've had slip-ups in the past, for the most part, I remained consistent back then and surprisingly I stuck to my guns. I decided for the last year to try again... not without an annual go at it. But I am choosing here and now to keep at this....

  9. Episode 114: Trading Self-Respect for Likes & Views

    This week I happened to come upon some posts on Tiktok & Instagram with folks airing their personal business like a vlog but it wasn't flex they thought it was.

  14. Episode 109: I Am Lonely & Depressed (Ask an Insomniac)

    We open the latest season with a response to a DM from Instagram. A follower asked "...what is wrong with me that makes me so lonely in life?"

  17. Episode 107: Emotional Manipulation vs Accountability

    Today's episode feels more like psych class but I had to talk about it. Emotionally manipulation happens to us all and often we are equally guilty of it.

It may be the surge of social media &...

  22. Episode 102: I Give Up On Dating

    This episode is brought to you by the pervs that slide into my DMs only to send 🍆 pics, say inappropriate nonsense, or just think I'm ready to pop my legs open just because they think I'm available. Only to shy away when you ask tough questions. This is why single does not equal available.…

  29. Episode 94: Can we normalize shipping female black leads as love interests?

    After seeing Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, I got to thinking how lead black actresses are never the love interest or "shipped" with anyone. It's like we have a certain role to play as the sassy, independent, strong character, whose only purpose is to be the savior. While I know Shuri's…

  33. Episode 88: Aries Spears, Lizzo and the Body Positivity Police

    So comedian Aries Spears decided to take jabs at Lizzo when asked about her music. The often controversial comedian has since been getting a lot of flack as a result.
