What is up y'all... Welcome back to #MelanatedMonday This week, I got A LOT to say! This episode was impromptu after a series of events that reminded me of the huge disconnect between military personnel (& their families) and civilians (everyone NOT military affiliated). This is a topic I have been wanting to tackle for some time now because I think it is finally time someone spoke up from within the walls about the struggle MOST military families face on a day to day basis that civilians are not "privi" to.

Welcome back to #MelanatedMonday! On this episode you guys will finally get to meet Malik. If you don't know who that is, go back to episode one to get an summary of our story. This episode is not in the best chronological order, but when you've been together as long as we have, the story gets a little blurry. Nonetheless, you'll hear us recap our story from the very beginning and bring you all the way to where we are currently as well as what we've learned so far. Stay updated on when I drop a new episode by following me @the.melanatedmindset on Instagram!

Welcome back to #MelanatedMondays! TRIGGER WARNING!!!!! (Infertility) On this episode, I will be open and honest with you all about our struggles to conceive. At 21 years old I was diagnosed with PCOS and it has been a challenge ever since. Not what you would expect from the girl who looks like she has it all right? Wrong, 1 in every 8 women struggles with some type of infertility and unfortunately, I was that 1. Infertility is such a taboo topic in the black community that I had to shed light on it. Even if it meant picking at my own old wounds.
