    • Melania vs Michelle (Movie Battle) + Serena’s Awkward Moment + Tyra Returns | Raised By Her
      Feb 3 2026

      Is Melania Trump’s reported $25 million documentary a cinematic statement—or reality TV with a prestige budget? In this episode of Raised by Her, we compare Melania’s new film buzz to Michelle Obama’s Becoming and unpack why audiences are responding so differently.

      We zoom out into the “business” of being a First Lady—storytelling, legacy, branding, budgets, and impact—then pivot into leadership, media training, and pop culture moments that reveal a lot about power and perception.

      In this episode, we cover:

      • The difference between legacy storytelling and image control
      • Budget vs. audience impact: what really moves people
      • Leadership lessons from America's Next Top Model and Tyra Banks’s mentorship style
      • A candid political moment from Donnica’s Washington, D.C. lobbying days
      • Why it’s never too late to reinvent yourself—new love, new careers, new chapters
      • A media-training breakdown of Serena Williams’ viral interview moment on Today with Savannah Guthrie

      Pop culture pivots we couldn’t ignore: Cher, Vanna White, and the real truth about “retirement” and reinvention.

    • Sinners Sweeps the Oscars + Naomi Osaka Drama + Brené Brown | Raised By Her
      Jan 26 2026

      Did a world-famous motivational speaker build her brand on ideas rooted in Black women’s intellectual labor—without giving credit? This week on Raised By Her, we dive deep into the growing controversy surrounding Brené Brown and the broader conversation about ownership, influence, and attribution.

      We also respond to listener feedback from our last episode—including a wild accusation that the podcast is “funded by Rush Limbaugh”—and break down why criticism, humor, and transparency all matter when you’re creating in public.

      The celebration continues as we highlight Black excellence in film: Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s Sinners makes history with 16 Oscar nominations, and Mom drops an unexpected story about her time as an extra in the 1970s classic Superfly.

      From there, the conversation shifts to sports and culture—from the changing dynamics of college football and NIL deals to the ongoing disrespect Black women athletes face, including Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff. We close the episode by unpacking our Words of the Year for 2026 and reflecting on why real growth requires stepping outside your comfort zone.

      This episode blends culture, critique, humor, and honesty—exactly what Raised By Her is about.

      Topics Covered

      • Responding to viral listener backlash
      • Black excellence at the Oscars (Sinners breaks records)
      • College football, NIL deals, and athlete power
      • Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff, and respect in women’s sports
      • Brené Brown plagiarism allegations and intellectual credit
      • Choosing your Word of the Year for transformation

    • Dave Chappelle, MLK Day & the Lynn Jones Black Media Firestorm | Raised By Her
      Jan 20 2026

      Did you know our grandmothers were best friends with Dave Chappelle’s family? We open up about our real-life connection to the comedy legend and the truth about Yellow Springs.

      In this episode, we bridge the gap between generations to tackle the biggest cultural conversations of the week. We start by sharing our "freezing" experience at Podfest in Orlando and the realities of the podcasting business versus traditional broadcasting. Then, we dive deep into Martin Luther King Jr. Day, debating the sanitized version of MLK versus the radical reality of the Civil Rights movement.

      Later, we discuss the recent controversy surrounding journalist Lynn Jones and her compassionate interview with the Jaguars coach—was it unprofessional, or is the media too cold? Finally, we challenge you to look at your own life: Are you evolving, or are you just repeating the same year over and over? Join us for wisdom, class, and a little bit of tea.
