Ep. 61 Hoodwinked, Bamboozled, Led Astray
Heeey Grown Folk!!!
This week on Rated M Cause We MF Grown, Tierra Laray dives head first into the internet firestorm surrounding Dr. Cheyenne Bryant and the controversy over her doctorate credentials. But baby… this conversation gets WAY deeper than one person.
We’re talking about how social media has created a world where followers, confidence, aesthetics, and popularity can matter more than actual qualifications. Have we confused influence with intelligence? Are people more loyal to relatability than honesty? And why do so many people blindly follow internet gurus, relationship coaches, podcasters, and motivational speakers without fact-checking ANYTHING? 👀
The grown-folk conversation gets REAL as we unpack:
🔥 Lived experience vs formal education
🔥 Pretty privilege in social media influence
🔥 Why people trust charisma over credentials
🔥 Elitism in the Black community
🔥 The obsession with titles, status, and appearing successful
🔥 Whether someone can be helpful AND problematic at the same time
🔥 Why people put influencers on pedestals and live by everything they say
You know Tierra Laray had to give you a fire High Strain of the Week along with the High Thought.
This episode is funny, messy, thought-provoking, and a little low vibrational 😭 because let’s be honest… some of y’all don’t want experts, y’all want somebody with good lighting and confidence.
If you’ve ever questioned social media culture, internet therapists, fake gurus, or why society worships popularity over truth, this is the episode for you.
