hey listeners!! long time, no talk! I am back and better than ever; I realized a strict schedule does not fit the theme and my vision for this podcast. I will be uploading more frequently in the future though! Today's episode is a conversation about a mistake I made and how I am learning from it. I really liked recording this as it helped me to get a weight off my chest and realize that we all mess up sometimes, it is what we do after those mess ups that define us as a person. I know the audio was not the best, sorry about that! I truly wanted it to be raw and real and the timing of the recording did not give me the best audio haha. Hope you all enjoyed! Leave a review!

hey listeners! in this episode, I talk about how to be an advocate, how I feel about the injustices in my community, and where you can donate. This episode was different than my normal ones but I really wanted to address this topic because I have the platform to educate and spread awareness about injustice. Please donate if you can and do some self educating. Checking privilege and using your unearned privileges for good will help create change.
