Bad Millennial

This week on The Bad Millennial , I’m taking a real-time look at the social trends shaping America right now—through the lens of Black History Month. From culture shifts and online conversations to progress, pushback, and everything in between, this episode is part reflection, part reality check, and fully honest. Because Black history isn’t just something we celebrate for 28 days—it’s something I...

I'm talking about the challenges of adulting, including managing time, sleep, and responsibilities while navigating the complexities of millennial life.

I'm breaking down the week’s wildest moments—Cardi, twitter chaos, and everything in between. Because let’s be honest, 2025’s been a Certified Mess .

I'm back! And talking about life in the Sunken Place —aka when the news cycle, politics, and pop culture all feel like they’re dragging us down at once. From doom scrolling and political chaos, I’ll unpack how it all feeds into that trapped, “can’t escape” energy. But don’t worry—it’s not all gloom. I’m sharing my own “escape hatches” (spoiler: memes, creating, and laughing at the nonsense) an...

We're talking about how to fake it ‘til you make it without completely losing your mind, why one ‘no’ is just a stepping stone to something better, and why even clumsy, awkward baby steps are better than standing still.

Guess who’s back after a tiny (read: five-month) break? 👀 I know, I know—I disappeared like a toxic ex, but I promise I’m back and better than ever.

Bad Reality is BACK! This time I'm reviewing the cult-hit "Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult" which sheds light on the dark reality of manipulation and exploitation within the Shekinah Church and 7M agency. Highlighting the ongoing battle for justice and healing is important as well as bringing awareness to how quickly letting someone else control your life can go so wrong so fast. Overall...
