    Facts about “making mistakes” sometimes in life we have to learn that we are human and we are not always going to get every single thing right on the first try because of lack of information. But once the mistake happens it is up to you to determine what you are going to do with that new information. Mistakes happen, how will you manage them? Why does there have to be a specific age on when women decide to get married? Being married at 25 seems really unrealistic. Please stop putting this pressure on women to be married when that's something they may not want.

    Facts about “Reverse Racism” ft. @ulove_eb from the @wokeishpodcast Lots to discuss this week… We start off with the assumption that so called “black” women is because they are doing it to look cool but there’s no reason to assume when there’s the option for to ask questions to get correct information. We get into the meaning of modesty… Also we discuss Daniel Cesar’s comment he made on IG live last week and got into a really productive discussion about race and the importance of being the example to break the cycle.

    Facts about “dating” ft @lifeaziseeit a returning friend of the show… Thank you all for being patient… I was feeling a little bit uninspired but I am back and better to discuss some very important things in the world starting with women competing with other women for the attention of men… I am a woman and I do stand with my ladies but I have been seeing a lot of activity on the internet from women about the things they “don’t” do to be with a man and all I want for us is to be honest. Speaking of honesty I am also being honest about my dating life or lack there of. I tell a hilarious story about one of my first dates after my very fresh break up. There was also a lot of activity on the internet about Joe Budden calling the women from the Carribean hoes’ for dressing up in their carnival costumes. Ladies can we be honest about this too?

    Let's take it back to Kindergarten and revisit the Golden Rule. Because it APPLIES! You can not demand anything from anyone if it's not something you don't posses within you and it's not something you are offering especially when it comes to LOVE. This episode is about reciprocating love and a lot of us don't know what that means. Let's also get into generational curses and how that effects in our day to day lives. If we don't address this problem and come up with a solution it can very well sabotage our future! The winner for the Sudio headphone giveaway is being announced on this episode!

Kanye West has been a huge topic of discussion lately in the Hip Hop community because of his politic choices, some say he's doing it to market his album, some say he's mentally and ill. And me on the other hand... stay tuned for the rest of the episode to find out how I feel about Mr. West lol. As I'm on this journey of mastering my higher self, I'm noticing a lot of changes.

    Sometimes in life we get to a point where we want to give up, and as a creative if you haven't said "f this I ain't doing this no more" I don't know if I can trust you. I want to be as honest as possible when it comes to my personal life, professional life, and creative life. I really wanted to take a break from doing the show because lets be honest, I wasn't feeling it. Over the weekend Facts of Life hosted our first networking event/meetup in Houston for female creatives and that interaction gave me the motivation to keep going. Thank you ladies! Lets talk about breaking the cycle this week and being the bigger person, I'm working through both of these things as we speak lol.
