Just a Bipolar girl talking about spirituality, social issues, and mental health
Hey. Sorry I missed last week. I was gearing up for school. I talked about how prayer is often used negatively and how that impacts someone's life. It has certainly affected mine. See you next week!
Today I talk about an article in the Atlantic about the "southern cause," and the journey of a man reckoning with race.
Sorry I'm a day late!! The Olympics are officially over! While there were great stories about triumph, the biggest story was about Simone Biles. Simone got a case of the "twisties" and made the best decision for her health. Somehow, everyone lost their minds. As a person who struggles with mental health, athletes deserve the same treatment when it comes to theirs.
How did COVID and masks become a political issue? What happened to plain old health safety. My thoughts on masks, vaccines, and more.
Hey! I'm hypomanic!! I'm bouncing off the walls so no full podcast today. I'll be here next week hopefully!

Hey! Nice to see you!! I talk a little about my depression and what's coming up next. I shot a video side of the podcast. It can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsTt467i-DU. The quality is not the greatest, but this is my first time recording. It will get better! Promise!
Sorry I've been gone. Depression is a bitch! I will be back soon. P.S. Sorry about the dog in the background
Hey all! I'm taking a mental break today. I've been pretty depressed over the last couple weeks and couldn't get myself together long enough to do a new podcast. Stay well!!
Male voters tend to be more likely to vote Republican than women. This was especially true during Trump's campaigns for president. What's up with that?!?! We're talking about this an more.
Bonus mid-week episode!! Today I talk about something that's been on my mind over the last 4 years. Church hypocrisy is a big problem in society and I'm tired of it! I rant a little about it and this is the result.
Hello. Today I talk about the destruction of MAGA voters and where we go from here. There are obviously still a lot of Trump supporters so what do we do?
What's up. Today I talk about the craziness that was 2020 through a mostly social lens. This past year was a crazy one indeed!
I had another podcast planned for today, but then I saw the riots. Here are my thoughts.
Sorry I've been gone. The end of 2020 has been crazy!! (Not that the rest of the year wasn't) I will be returning 1-9-21 which is next Saturday with steady content. See you then!
Welcome back to Musings of a Black Bipolar Activist. Today I talk about a quote I saw at the Negro League Baseball Museum. "My son. if you aspire to be a servant of the Lord, prepare yourself for testing. Set a straight course an keep to it, and do not be dismayed in the face of adversity." This is what I got out of it.
Sorry for the long delay!! In this episode I talk about code switching with my friend BrianJames McMahon. What is code switching and how does it impact our every day lives? We dive deeper into this and speak from both the point of view as a black person and a white person.

Today I talk about the importance of visibility in the media. Everyone wants to see themselves reflected on the screen, especially people of color.
