I want to die knowing I shared everything I was supposed to. The ability to share your gifts should never be taken lightly but  sometimes we let fear and uncertainty keep us from doing just that. Today Nhi'Sha and I get into growing more comfortable sharing ourselves with the world and everything that comes with it.

Living authentically is a journey and there are times where you question if your natural state of being is "wrong". You’ll think that maybe giving up a part of yourself will grant you peace and safety.. but that's a lie. Eventually you realize it's a trap and giving up your light/ whimsy is THE LAST thing you should be doing. In fact, shining even BRIGHTER  is the best revenge towards anyone or anything that told you to ...

To be a real lover of words is to say what you mean & mean what you say. In today’s episode Nalyk and I are discussing the weight of our words and the responsibility that comes with knowing our words can shift people,places, & things. Plus we get into top 5 rapper discussions. 
P.S. I definitely have changed my picks…. But that’s for another episode.. another day

We back with another one!   On the last episode Dante and I ironically spoke about some topics that would end up being in the movie Sinners. We didn’t know it at the time but we were definitely on similar wavelengths as the movie. Today we’re connecting the dots from the movie to real life.

Now n’ days the word “woke” is seen in many  ways; some view it as a badge of honor while others have a stigma about it. Today Dante and I are giving our interpretation of the word along with experiences that drove us to be “woke” in the first place.

What does speaking and colors have in common? Intention. And whether you realize it or not there is a meaning/motive to everything we do. In today's episode Sumo and I are diving into a few things we're intentional about.

Today's episode is more like a love letter. I created this poem for those times when the journey gets rough and we have those doubts. Don't take these words as you should never rest and you need to "keep grinding" til worn out... Please rest.. please regroup but during that resting period try not to convince yourself out of the things you know are in your heart & spirit.

 A healthy balance of delusion and romance is good for the soul. In today's episode I discuss why I believe that seeing beyond just sight can help us appreciate this life a little bit more.
