    I had the special opportunity to speak with a doctor and activist based in Gaza, who is assisting women and girls who have limited access to period products (sanitary pads, pain relief medicine, etc.). Please listen to and share this episode to spread awareness about this gap in humanitarian need in the region.


    Also, don't leave without sharing and signing this petition to ensure women and girls in Gaza get access to quality reproductive health services: https://chng.it/y5YSQTjX2p

  • Confessions of a Newsfluencer: Can Journalist Be Boring & Not Go Broke?
    Aug 3 2025

    Here’s a candid conversation where I share my struggles as an independent journalist under the pressure to become a social media “newsnfluencer”. As a Black woman in journalism dealing with bias in journalism and the tension between job security and creative authenticity, this is a heavy subject to tackle. So many of us feel pushed to double as news influencers to keep paying our bills.

    I also explore:

    • Is it possible to use social media to build a news brand without compromising your values?
    • What happens when you try building a brand without social media?
    • How should content creators balance personal brand growth and job security in today’s media landscape?

  • Are Plus-Sized Celebrities Inspirational?
    Dec 5 2024

    With Ozempic scattered across Hollywood, and celebrities revealing drastic weight loss, it's questionable whether body positivity is still the goal. Could we ever see plus-sized or obese celebrities as role models? Or is body positivity officially dead?
