In this episode of RHLAB, I break down the myth of oversaturation and why it’s often used to discourage women from going after what they want. Using Beyoncé and Danessa Myricks as real-life examples, we explore how consistency, innovation, and excellence can cut through any “crowded” industry.

I also introduce the literary concept of the “chorus”—the voices, trends, and repeated messages that shape how we think about success and scarcity. We unpack how this chorus convinces so many people that “it’s too late” or “there’s no room,” and why learning to recognize it is key to finding your own lane.

From music to beauty to business, I share why talent alone isn’t enough—and how hard work, strategy, and vision are what actually set you apart.

If you’ve ever talked yourself out of starting because “everyone’s already doing it,” this episode is for you.

🎧 Tune in for motivation, mindset shifts, and practical encouragement to bet on yourself.

What if the people we call “difficult,” “problematic,” or “unlikable” aren’t villains at all — just framed that way?

In this episode, I break down the anti-hero as a framing problem, not a moral one. From Nene Leakes and Dennis Rodman to The Housemaid, we examine how power, gender and audience perspective shape who gets cast as the hero — and who gets labeled the problem.

This isn’t about defending bad behavior. It’s about understanding who controls the narrative, why certain figures are allowed complexity, and why others are flattened into cautionary tales.

If you’ve ever wondered why we root for anti-heroes — or why some people are never allowed to be heroes at all — this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• How framing turns people into anti-heroes

• Why “unlikable” is often a narrative shortcut

• The role of power, context, and perspective

• What Nene Leakes, Dennis Rodman, and The Housemaid reveal about culture

🎧 Read Her Like a Book — where we decode culture, power, and perception.

n this episode, we’re talking about foils—the characters who exist to expose the truth, whether the story is ready for it or not. A foil isn’t just a contrast; they’re a mirror, forcing us to reevaluate what we think we know about the protagonist, the narrative, and even ourselves as readers.

Using interviews, conversations, and pop culture moments, I break down how foils work, why they’re often misunderstood, and how one sharp, perceptive character can completely unravel the illusion another character is trying to maintain. Sometimes the smartest person in the room isn’t the main character—and that’s the point.
