“That’s Funny!” with Baxbara

Meet Mama Zanele, a total boss lady who is thriving in the world of entrepreneurship and public speaking, despite being born in the apartheid era. In this video, we get to hear from Mama Zanele herself, as she shares some incredible insights on the evolution of beauty standards and representation for black women in South African media. Mama Zanele is an absolute inspiration, having overcome so many obstacles to become the successful woman she is today. And, as a Princeton University speaker, she's got the experience and expertise to share some real wisdom with us all. In this video, Mama Zanele talks about how far we've come in terms of representation for black women in the media. She touches on the fact that, in the past, there were so few positive role models for young black girls to look up to - but now, things are changing for the better. She also gives some words of encouragement to young black women who are looking to make their mark in the world. So, if you're looking for some inspiration and insight from a total powerhouse of a woman, look no further than Mama Zanele. Be sure to watch the full video to hear her story and learn from her incredible experiences. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/baxbara/message

There's a power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice. And there's a grace in being willing to know and hear others. This, for me, is how we become. - Michelle Obama Hey Besties! Today we're talking about the power of representation and why sharing your voice matters. And let me tell you, I'm speaking from experience. I've had my own journey in taking up space and owning my power, and it's not always easy. But, guuurl, it's worth it. See, everyone's voice has value, no matter who they are. And it takes hearing someone else's story to feel seen and heard -- that's why, to my mother's disdain

Today I want to share with you my diary entry on singleness and feeling unseen. I know many of us can relate to these feelings, especially during the month of Valentine's Day.

In this video/podcast, I'm going to take you through my journey of discovering the confidence and joy in being alone.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become." - Steve Jobs --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/baxbara/message

What if I told you New Year's Resolutions aren't goals (to be failed), but promises you keep!

On the 'PodCouch' with me today I've got "Surfer Boy" Santana

Kuda and I sat down for a fun conversation around all things Holy Spirit and hearing from God. For a lot of us, we've got dreams and visions for our lives but is that what God wants for us? In most cases, our desires and talents hint to the purpose God has for us — but can equally become the idol that causes our demise.

We've all seen the “that girl” morning routines that consist of pink smoothies, avo on rye toast and a 7 step skincare routine that comprises of 90 different oils. While all of that is aspirational for a lot of us, myself included, is that an accurate display of EVERYDAY girl mornings ?

"Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. That energy is God's energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure. Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I'll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns." - Philippians 2 MSG @baxbara(a) on all social media platforms | email/inquiries: baxbara.inbox@gmail.com

If we're being honest, the thought of prayer can sometimes be stressful and daunting ESPECIALLY IN A GROUP SETTING (am I right?!). Am I saying the right words, should I get on my knees, can I pray in my heart ? In today's spontaneous episode we CASUALLY (lol) unpack how to pray, incorporate the Holy Spirit in our everyday life and how to usher in the presence of God -- and get Him to FINALLY answer us!!! Check out Matthew 6 (MSG) it will blow your mind ! email: baxbara.inbox@gmail.com

Disclaimer: EXTREMELY sensitive and potentially TRIGGERING topics will be discussed in depth in this video regarding weight, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, exercise addiction, stigma, calories, and bad body-image. All opinions are my own. THIS VIDEO MAY NOT BE FOR YOU & THAT IS OK! If I'm being honest with you, I don't have all the answers or any even. I've dealt with workaholism & a toxic relationship with food as a result for years. How I feel about my body, has nothing to do with anyone else nor does it reflect how I feel about bodies that do not look like my own, my body image is affected by nothing and no one but MYSELF. Body positivity is subjective to the inhabitant of the body. It's been quite a journey, but my hope is that someone would relate, know they're not alone & be willing to work on it together as a supportive community.

Understanding the Father, Son and Holy Spirit can be pretty confusing, because how are all of them God but we have only one God ? How does that work ? In today's episode, which was meant to be a Holy Spirit video turned Trinity, we'll be scratching the surface of who the Trinity is and the different purposes they serve.

It's a rant session. Bax is fired up about all of her unpopular food opinions in this episode. From chicken and eating it more frequently than necessary, to that mixed veg in curry being added to EVERY DISH. We all have foods we dislike, i probably have more than most, sorry mayonnaise people you don't get a pass here either. For business/pr : Baxbara.inbox@gmail.com

As you guys know YouTube has become a BIG part of my life

My fear of conflict and being tolerated in spaces & relationships has definitely kept me from making decisions in the past and standing firm on my NO! Where does one find the balance between dying to self to serve people and falling into the snare of seeking validation ? In today's episode we'll go into depth about one of the biggest culprits of anxiety — people pleasing.

You know that friend you call for two minutes and suddenly it's been an hour ? Yip, that's Baxbara ! From serious topics like people pleasing, performative Christianity and navigating adulthood to that one time she drank all the communion at a church camp (okay, maybe it happened more than once). Appropriately named, “That's Funny” is a personification of the old saying “one day you're gonna look back at this and laugh”. So grab an iced coffee and catch up with your new best friend as she recounts times she thought she was at the end of her world or even on top of it — only to now look back and think “that's funny”.
