We talk about: • How art became his weapon and sanctuary • Building community in places designed to erase us • Healing through connection, culture, and creativity • The weight of being a Black man in a world that often misunderstands our brilliance • How we can all be architects of liberation—right where we stand This is more than a conversation—it’s a blueprint for what it means to heal ourselves and our communities.

Radical, Rooted & Revolutionary: Dr. Melina Abdullah Unfiltered

Dr. Melina Abdullah Is Not Afraid—And She’s Not Backing Down. In this electric, soul-stirring, and unapologetically radical episode, I sit down with scholar, abolitionist, movement-builder, and 2024 U.S. Vice Presidential candidate Dr. Melina Abdullah (@docmelina) for a conversation that shook me to my core. We talk abolishing the police, the myth of public safety, and what it means to turn pain into purpose in a country built on Black death. She shares—vividly—what it was like to be targeted by LAPD in her own home, the night she truly believed she wouldn’t survive, and how she channeled that trauma into organized resistance and spiritual power. We get into: • Her 2024 VP run alongside Dr. Cornel West • Why police reform is not enough • How we can defeat modern fascism • Parenting Black children in a surveillance state • Redefining safety through community, not punishment • The sacred connection between resistance and healing This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a call to action. A masterclass. A spiritual download for anyone fighting to stay whole in a broken system. Listen. Share. Then take this truth into your body and use it to move.

Mic Check, Soul Check: My Full Circle Moment with THE Tracy G.

What happens when two Haitian-American daughters of first generation immigrants—raised in dual worlds, fluent in soul, struggle, and storytelling—finally sit down to talk like the mics aren’t even on? This is that moment. In this dream-come-true episode, I sit down with the incomparable Tracy G—media multi-hyphenate, sound healer, writer, and co-host of Sway in the Morning—for one of the most intimate, raw, and affirming conversations I’ve ever had on this podcast. We talk culture, growth and evolution, navigating media spaces, the power of softness in Black womanhood, and why embracing our contradictions is revolutionary. We go there: • Healing from imposter syndrome while living in the spotlight • Balancing divinity and career • Decolonizing success as first-gen creatives • How to hold joy in one hand and grief in the other • And why now is the time to use our voices like sacred weapons If you’ve ever felt unseen in the room you worked so hard to get into, or you’re learning how to turn your own volume up in a world that keeps trying to mute you—this one’s for you. This isn’t just a podcast episode. This is a reckoning. A remembering. A revival. Press play. Then press into your purpose.

Living in Crisis: The Emotional Impact of Today’s Political Climate

In this raw and reflective solo episode of Unapologetically Anxious Me, I’m diving into the very real emotional toll that today’s political climate is having on so many of us, especially Black and Brown folks, parents, neurodivergent people, and anyone just trying to stay afloat in a world that feels like it’s on fire. From threats to education, women’s rights, and LGBTQ+ protections, to the normalization of hate speech and rising authoritarianism, this moment in history is more than just politically exhausting’s emotionally destabilizing. I’ll talk about how chronic political stress shows up in our bodies and minds, how it intersects with racial trauma and intergenerational grief, and how I’m personally navigating the fear, anger, and fatigue. This episode is part confession, part call to action, and part love letter to anyone feeling overwhelmed, under-protected, or straight-up done. You are not alone. Tune in to hear my thoughts, my story, and some ways we can begin to protect our peace even when the world is anything but peaceful. Let's talk survival, sanity, and why we deserve joy no matter who in office.
