SEASON 3 FINALE Keep Moving Forward - feat. Pablo

BONUS - Skincare & Yap Session

We're still on a break but I woke up inspired to have a little yap session with you all because I miss you! I've recently gotten some skincare birthday gifts and purchases and I wanted to talk about them with y'all. Watch the youtube video here - https://youtu.be/uGLjpkKr_T8 [https://youtu.be/uGLjpkKr_T8] I've also been thinking about this insane mess this administration has gotten everyone into and the terrifying things he'd been saying and doing. I don't have the expertise to talk too in depth about it, but I felt like I had to say something. I have been listening to these podcasts for more perspective and I encourage you to take a listen: * Bad Faith - https://open.spotify.com/show/0ChLoSMrOmXABeIYcwXcDP [https://open.spotify.com/show/0ChLoSMrOmXABeIYcwXcDP] * Useful Idiots - https://open.spotify.com/show/5BpYXlVorOw5FZ9pfpu7ff [https://open.spotify.com/show/5BpYXlVorOw5FZ9pfpu7ff] * The Dugout - https://open.spotify.com/show/15CpGdYF2IyVBHe3GCt2Lc [https://open.spotify.com/show/15CpGdYF2IyVBHe3GCt2Lc] * Higher Learning - https://open.spotify.com/show/4hI3rQ4C0e15rP3YKLKPut [https://open.spotify.com/show/4hI3rQ4C0e15rP3YKLKPut] If you're new here, check out seasons 1 and 2 in this feed.

BONUS - My book is now available!

WHEN THE LIGHTS COME UP by Melissa L. Clay - Now available here [https://www.amazon.com/When-Lights-Come-Melissa-Clay/dp/B0GLL22CSM]! You can watch this episode on Youtube [https://youtu.be/yd4Kq_xFYNk]. Some themes this story explores are finally asking the questions to start finding yourself, friendship, dating, and navigating church hurt. There's more and this is just the beginning of the main character Jackie's journey! I would love it if you buy my book to share in the experience I created. Support Black authors always and especially during Black History Month. Short story synopsis - Jackie has always done everything right. She followed the rules, served at church, kept her promises, and waited for the love story she was told would come. But now, in her thirties, living in Chicago with a job she tolerates and a faith that's starting to unravel, she can't help wondering what doing everything "right" has really gotten her. Follow along as Jackie begins a journey inward. With her outspoken best friend Gloria by her side, she starts asking the questions that good girls aren't supposed to ask. Told with humor, honesty, and heart, When The Lights Come Up follows Jackie as she learns to face herself in the mirror, challenge the beliefs that once defined her, and step into a life that feels like her own.
