    For the longest time, I hated being Black; I wanted to be anyone else. Since learning to accept myself and the culture I'm apart of, I decided to unpack a part of my brain I've rarely expressed and shared the five reasons I didn't want to be Black. links mentioned: before you sign a lease w/ a "friend"... : https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/425zg8V0mAb Shawnaci Shroeder (insta): https://www.instagram.com/shawnacischroeder/ blog & socials: Blog: Simply Jamilah ||  www.simplyjamilah.com Instagram: juh.mee.luh ||  https://www.instagram.com/allsimplyjay/ TikTok: juhmeeluhh || www.tiktok.com/@juhmeeluhhYouTube: Jamilah on Film || www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOfgkee5Es9TkHa_ts8jNw Spotify: itsmilahh || www.spotify.com/user/itsmilahh music credit (all from Epidemic Sound): intro: “Turning Tables” by Dusty Decks black & beautiful: “Better (Not Bitter)” by King Sis ft.

    Since turning eighteen, I have been working nonstop simply to survive. Well, I'm tired. In this episode, from my personal point of view, I detail the negative aspects of productivity culture, being financially spread thin while working two jobs to survive the current state of the economy, and other financial struggles that having a joint income with a spouse could solve. Prioritizing my mental wellbeing and protecting the pieces of peace I've been finding are important, so I've been hustling and grinding to get out of survival mode. links mentioned: the role of a leader: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/mVz3q6lt0zb my frenemy April: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/e72rpnot0zb Cherilynn's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@cherilynnmella/featured blog & socials: Blog: Simply Jamilah ||  ⁠www.simplyjamilah.com⁠ Instagram: juh.mee.luh ||  https://www.instagram.com/allsimplyjay/ TikTok: juhmeeluhh || www.tiktok.com/@juhmeeluhhYouTube: Jamilah on Film || www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOfgkee5Es9TkHa_ts8jNw Spotify: itsmilahh || ⁠www.spotify.com/user/itsmilahh⁠ music credit (all from Epidemic Sound): intro: “Turning Tables” by Dusty Decks black & beautiful: “Better (Not Bitter)” by King Sis ft.

    The month of April is always... A LOT for me, to say the least. This is a recap of the chaos that was April 2023 for me; I share lessons I learned during the month, including preparing for tax season & how to make mashed potatoes. April was financially my enemy, transportationally (?) my friend, and mentally my frenemy. Needless to say, I'm glad that long chaotic month is done... no matter how crusty I look in this episode. links mentioned: Solo Charlotte, NC trip: right here Beach Read book review: worth the hype blog & socials: Blog: Simply Jamilah ||  www.simplyjamilah.com Instagram: juh.mee.luh ||  https://www.instagram.com/allsimplyjay/ TikTok: juhmeeluhh || www.tiktok.com/@juhmeeluhhYouTube: Jamilah on Film || www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOfgkee5Es9TkHa_ts8jNw Spotify: itsmilahh || www.spotify.com/user/itsmilahh music credit (all from Epidemic Sound): intro: “Turning Tables” by Dusty Decks black & beautiful: “Better (Not Bitter)” by King Sis ft.

    April 8, 2022, is a date that stays in my brain rent-free, and one year later, I'm ready to close that chapter with a final discussion. I define The Gray Space, share my healing journey, and share what to do when you enter The Gray Space. Also, I briefly touch on the stupidity of Tennessee. All this (and more) happens while I sound like I'm low key dying because of North Carolina's insane pollen. links mentioned: The First Heartbreak: http://simplyjamilah.com/2022/05/07/the-first-heartbreak/ a chat with Reeve: https://open.spotify.com/episode/40jSYfsShW5oDKRXBoR1JZ?si=2bb231b8d2894ede blog & socials: Blog: Simply Jamilah ||  www.simplyjamilah.com Instagram: juh.mee.luh ||  https://www.instagram.com/allsimplyjay/ TikTok: juhmeeluhh || www.tiktok.com/@juhmeeluhhYouTube: Jamilah on Film || www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOfgkee5Es9TkHa_ts8jNw Spotify: itsmilahh || www.spotify.com/user/itsmilahh music credit (all from Epidemic Sound): intro: “Turning Tables” by Dusty Decks black & beautiful: “Better (Not Bitter)” by King Sis ft.
