SQ LDV #1: Love Yourself Out Loud (w/ Charity)

Welcome to the very first episode of Long Distant Voicemail (LDV) a brand new segment on Unapologeric Energy with your host, SoulQueen . In this episode, I’m joined by my amazing friend Chairty, and together we’re just two Black women having an honest, soulful conversation about what it means to love yourself out loud. We talk about self-dating, buying gifts for yourself, and embracing the power of being a little selfish in the best way possible. This isn’t just a chat; it’s a reminder that taking time for you isn’t lonely, it’s revolutionary. So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and listen in on this heartfelt voicemail between friends—because sometimes, the message you need to hear is your own.

Love Island Chaos: Pt 3 Aftermath

In this final part of our Love Island breakdown, we dive into the season finale and everything that came after. We kick things off with the ultimate couple the Vancarthens (aka Orlandra and Nic) and share our hopes that their relationship stays strong despite all the noise from fans and the internet. We also unpack the weird obsession with knowing every detail of celebrities’ personal lives, and how taking their brand too far can sometimes backfire. From there, Madnyx shares thoughts on how the season wrapped up, telling Soulqueen, how everything led us to this wild ending. It’s been a crazy yall, but we’ve finally made it.

Love Island Chaos: Pt 2 Huda, Jeramie & the Reality of Toxic Love

Part 2 of the Love Island madness! Madnyx tells Soulqueen about the aftermath of the drama with Jeramie, Huda’s “Heart Rate” challenge, and how she still doesn’t see that she is the bully and the problem—from trying to take her own friends’ men to causing a divide, yet still playing the so-called victim. Somehow, she hasn’t been kicked off the show, even though it’s clear she’s the one causing chaos. On top of that, we dive into all the drama between the guys and girls during this time. Stay tuned for the reunion, Ace’s interview breakdown, and how it really shows that, as a Black woman in this world, there’s often no one in your corner. We also talk about the anti-Blackness that runs deep in this show—and in the fanbase around Huda and others.
