BACK like I never left for 2 years! Ha! Let's have a margarita and talk about everything you want , but never really have the RIGHT person to talk about it with. I am her. She is me.
I've seen so many "fall-outs" this year!! Specifically Issa and Molly from HBO's "Insecure," which honestly hurt the most! (I'm too emotionally involved in scripted television, I know) So, what do you do when bridges have been burned with a LONG TIME friend?! After time, are you open to repairing? Or is it "F$@k you forever"?! What do you consider a "toxic friendship"? What does not being able to maintain any type of friendship with anyone say about a person? Yassssss, I know this topic got y'all thinking!!!
I'd hate to ruin the vibe, but grieving is such a huge part of life that always seems too uncomfortable or I guess rather sad to discuss, let's change that! If you know me, you know how often I like to talk about my Mom's life which inevitably leads into the conversation of her after life, it's a form of grieving for me. In what ways do you grieve the loss of a loved one? Do you avoid conversation around it? It's difficult to determine what could be deemed as, "healthy and unhealthy" forms of grieving but do you have any examples? "Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve." - Dr. Earl Grollma
DOWN IN THE VALLEY WHERE THE GIRLS GET NA-KED!! P-Valley really did a number on the girls and more importantly it highlighted homosexuality in the urban community. Did it make you uncomfortable? How often do you subconsciously categorize "Gayness?" Like, have you ever said "he/she too fine to be gay!" How does it make you feel that the main character "Lil Murda" is actually happily married to a woman? I've previously done an episode titled "Undercover Brotha" but tonight's episode willl discuss the more OPENLY side of homosexuality ;) Let's get into it!
As with EVERYTHING, my views on marriage vary by the season and who I'm talking to at the moment, LOL! What are your thoughts?! What are the benefits of marriage? Are they comparable to the benefits of having a life-long partner? How do you determine who to marry? What situations could compromise a marriage? WHEW, grab a drink and let's get into it!
*Sad Face* Episode SEVEN will conclude season 3 of Tequila Talks with Toya and I'm hoping to go out with a bang! I want to discuss all things BLACK! Well, all things black people related, lol! Specifically, black love, black finances, black families, black health. Yikes, keep in mind we only have an hour so let's make it count! I have yet to curate any questions for the show so feel free to drop some under this post, lol! Chat later!
Whether emotionally, physically, spiritually or mentally; I know all women and MEN can relate to a time of feeling broken! The title is catchy af (thanks Issa! I LOVE YOU) and I hate to get so serious but now more than ever, self care is vital in creating a space for peace/ stability in our lives. What self care regimens did you practice when you had to heal yourself from a situation that broke you? Did you seek outside help from others? Anything you’d do differently? I’m really praying this episode does what needs to be done ! Let’s get deep in it!! Ugh, pun was NOT intended.
Thank you Beyonce and Jay Z for normalizing inconsistencies (infidelity) and rough patches in relationships! We still haven’t fully retired the fictitious expression “#relationshipgoals” but hopefully after this episode we do. Lol! What qualities concoct the “perfect” relationship to you? When do you decide to stay and work things out versus kick they ass to the curb? Is it possible to be in love with multiple people? Wow, I’m uncomfortable already. Chat soon
Apparently, my respect for the Kardashian/ Jenner gang takes precedent over my support for black women. Is it impossible to be Black & Proud but still like them? Better yet, what’s your beef?? Of course we’ll have to address the fine line between culture appreciation and culture appropriation while we’re here and thats fine. Also, are we still mad at Daniel Ceaser? Being black is hardT.
You know the type! They've been following your for years and have never liked a post or commented! They're usually the first to watch your stories too! I personally feel that SOCIAL media isn't the best place to pick to be an introvert... But what are your thoughts? Do you show up to a party and not speak? Ha! And I'm not seeking any validation from my followers (OR AM I??) but it does seem creepy! Boohhooohooo! (Trying to keep this ghost idea in motion, work with me) Let's chat!
Agghhh!! I didn't give this topic the justice it deserved soooo REWWINNNNDDD!!!! We pass judgement on others all the time! But how often do you self reflect in the capacity of being a "good friend?" What makes you a good friend? Think of a time when you were apart of a failed friendship, can you acknowlege any wrongdoings on your end? Spill it!! (AGAIN!!) Only with hopes of learning and growing of course! There's always room!
EEEEEKKK! Finally season 3 of Tequila Talks with Toya!! This come back episode is worthy of more than just one topic, I want to discuss everything! Specifically where we’re all at in life right now. Do you have your shit together? What does that even entail? Most of my friends are married, have beautiful children and working in careers they love! But ya girl??? Lmao!! WELCOME BACK!!!!
ITS OFFICIAL!!! Side Chicks are IN!!Yall know I was ready to catch this wave!!! In case you're living under a rock, SOME UNKNOWN (which is sketch!!) production team has just pitched a new reality show titled, "The Real Side Chicks of Charlotte" and I really just need a minute (or hour, TUNE IN!!!) and DRINK to marinate on this! First off... how did they KNOW Charlotte was home to the side chicks (COME ON SHADE!!!!!)??!! And why are they even getting this much recognition?! LETS TALK ABOUT I!!!!!! CALL ME!!! Lines open at 6:30!!!
Why do we even have to ask?!... Or do you have to? (WATCH OUT! CHICKS BE STEALING!!!)But seriously, how do you ask your man for support without seeming like a gold digger? Even if you are Ms. Independent, how important are a mans finances to you? Or what about when your man asks for money. This should get interesting.. TUNE IN!!
Because we all know keeping it real can go completely WRONG! So when's a time you had to "fake it?" Sex, work life,friendships/relationships? Maybe you did it to advance in life? Or to keep from hurting someone? See! Its not always fake kto be fake. Lmao!!!
Of course you want to take care of your man! But when are your "girlfriend duties" crossing the line to "wife duties"?! What are somethings you wish you would've waited to do until marriage?! And y'all know I love taking it there... what are things wife's can do that girlfriends can't?? Vice-versa?! ???????? CALL IN!
Part 2, although Part 1 barely happened!
Men just do it more and aren't half as good! *eye roll* Anywho! The season Finale of HBO's new hit series "Insecure" left every guy on a high horse and Im ready to knock them back down! Have you ever forgiven a significant other for cheating? Why or why not? Does cheating always end a relationship? Do you give "passes"????? LMFAO! And wh is there a double standard when it comes to women cheating versus men?
One time for all my boogie bishes!! Shallow Hal, meet even Shallower, Hannah. We argue about men being bias when it comes to the women they choose to date but I know a few chicks who won't even look a guys way if shoes have scuff marks! Join me with a discussion on shallow standards and preferences! What's your perfect guy like? Do you have a type? What are some deal breakers?
Racism is real, discrimination is real, self hate is real. This is for all the beautiful darker skinned women who don't get the credit they deserve.
Frank Ocean is the new Black. Lol, I really hate writing descriptions. But yea, this is episode is about men and WOMEN who are lying or in denial about their sexuality :(
In today's world, if you're over 16 (hahahahahaha joking but not joking! you can push that to 18! ) and single w/o kids, the chances of finding a mate holding the same status are pretty slim! How do you maintain peace if your significant other has a child outside of your relationship? Is there ALWAYS drama?
Something we're all fimiliar with. College made me a pro at dealing with them though,lol! Break ups!!! How do you start it?! How do you end it?!
In honor of my Alma Mater's homecoming (GO RAMS!!!!!) this week I'll be discussing some juicy topics related to my college experience! First up, FAKE ASS FRIENDS! Lol! How do you deal with them?
Ganja!!!! Do you smoke?! Why or why not? I just wanted to go ahead and get this over with, weed is such a hot commodity.
