JESS B. Real Podcast

Controversial topic, but this is ME, so would you expect anything less? lol. I said it, and I meant it, but we can talk about it. So let's do just that...tap in, let's get real!

The best way to understand is to ask the source that is actually living it. I decided to reach out to my girl, Key, to give some insight on her life being 'Army Strong'. Along with serving the country, she has many other things she's balancing in her life...tap in. Let's get real!

Being a boxer over 20 years, is a surprising thing to most! But I may have trained to do what most black women do day in, and day out...FIGHT! First recognition wasn't until 1995 for women to even compete for the Golden Gloves, so imagine how much more history is missed, or retracted to enlighten the fights fought. We fight bruised, but not broken. Some bruises are internal, some external, either...

SEASON 8 PREMIERE! NEW SEASON...NEW YEAR! Happy 2023! Since the usual themes for each new year is, "new year, new me", or the "it's all about me" why not talk about the truth in it all. There's solace, and solitude but which one are most really after? tap in...let's get real!

SEASON 7 FINALE! THAT'S A WRAP PEOPLE! Another season down, and another season of personal stories, societal chaos, and cultural norms being addressed. THANK YOU TO YOU ALL WHO HAVE BEEN RIDING THIS RIDE WITH ME, YOU most definitely, are apart of my SOUL HOLIDAYS! A time of the year to share gratitude, thanksgiving, and fellowship with family, chosen, or blood tied. Either way, I'll see y'all in 2...

The continuation of the 100th episode conversation! You know I got y'all! So would this be 101st now? LOL

Well before anything it's JESS B. Real Podcast's 100th episode. I didn't want to share this momentous episode with none other than my brother, Dion Inge, a loyal listener and supporter. So we talk about the taboo, I mean it is me duhhh! D9 is a FUBU, so why is it becoming now a FOR "YOU" type of situation? Even on HBCU campuses this is a "reward" but why? Is it Divine 9 or Defined Lines? Tap...Let...

We ALL possess GIFTS! Why are you holding on, to what is meant to be shared with the world? Now that's selfish babes! I know everyone doesn't agree with your gift, or maybe they don't understand it, but that's not your purpose to make them get it. India Arie said it best, "JUST DO YOU TODAY! IF YOU CREATE THE GAME THEN YOU CREATE THE RULES, AND IF YOU JUST BE YOU. THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN LOSE!" tap...

Financial literacy is something most don't learn until the debt has been consumed. There are some of us that are privy to this logic, and the tactic to have financial clouds linger over your life for eternity. What is the true value of the dollar? Generational wealth? Financial Focus...tap in, let's get real! I'm not going to gatekeep, what I purposely studied in school to share with my people!

It's exactly what the title says, 'Beloved! It's CoCo Jones!' The Princess of R&B Soul! Idc Idc IDC! So we're gonna talk about about you thought you knew, and 'What I Didn't Tell You'. You see what I did there, R&B is still alive, you just aren't listening to the right folks! Tap in...Let's get real! CoCo Jones...Thank you sis!

North Carolinaaaaaaa!!!! I know you sung that like Petey Pablo, don't front lol. I got my girl India H. @whatindyheck stopping through to share her NC love letter with y'all. Going from a small town, to a big city isn't easy, but India makes it look easy, that's for sure. Either way being an only child has many perks, but tap in...let's get real!

I am a product of being an "AP Kid", you know the anomalies that get college credits in HS, prior to attending college. Now they're offering after 50 plus years, the trial of 60 schools trying the new curriculum in African American History for AP studies. How is this working with the contest of CRT being an issue? Am I the only one who finds this capricious, and contradictory? But why now? I have...

Sometimes you may have a situation where you meet someone, not just any someone, but someone you feel like you've met in a  past life. There is this instant connection of energy that gives comfort, understanding, and security. One word shared, and boom, y'all just get one another. Well that has been MiaMia @shamia_88 , for me. I guess, its a Virgo Sun thing lmao...but anyway, HEY, GIRLLL! HEYYYY!!...

Now because we have melanin being magically at the award shows, having song cry speeches from the bellies of our ancestors, now "things" aren't the same?! OH please! Spare me the BS, cause the WHITE LIES MATTER, Yasiin I see you my brother. But can we just make it Hollywood, instead of HollyWEIRD? I got a couple reasons as to why, tap in..let's get real!

Self image is usually more damaging, than the noise of the outside world. Body Dysmorphia has always been a sensitive topic for me, it's something I've struggled with since childhood. Little Jess wants to talk about, what we're working on by healing her wounds. I want to live on a high note, and the desire to LOVE MYSELF at it's full capacity is the goal. Tap in...Let's get real!

We're UNITED IN GRIEF...tap in..Let's get real!

I've been holding on to this gem episode for about three seasons. I'm glad I finally got my brother from another Dion Inge @Mr3O2, here on this episode. There are some things we were taught, that I don't think should continue, so can we break the cycle? Tap in...we get SUPER REAL! 

SEASON 7...aye aye aye!!! Yessss welcome to the new fam bam, and hello to my OGs. New season, new episodes. But this episode is to show you I'm in my QUEEN'S SPACE, and that I GOT FAM! You have to surround yourself with people who appreciate what you exude, and love on you no matter the time, or circumstance! Tap in..Let's get real!   Shoutout to my fellow QUEENS @writeofmind @g_stillettocouture @...

Full Circle Friendships, something that doesn't happen often, so when they do, you don't disregard them. Being from NY, and now living in a southern city, the vibes change, the growth happens, and the friendship remains. It was only right to bring my girl, Tiana (@writeofmind), on to close out the SEASON 6 FINALE! "With my Day ones, now we all GROWN UP!" Now we're just QUEENs in the CITY. Tap in.....

Guess who's turning 32?! Yes, MAGIC 32 🪄is what I'm calling it, for more than one reason. There's something different about this birthday, that's even more pertinent than when I turned 30 in the panini, tap in...let's get real! VIRGOOOO SZNNN♍️😎

Before podcasting, before art, WORDS were my passion. Poetry, that DEPICTS my reality. I thought to share, a love in another form of creativity. Enjoy!

People are always quick to degrade the Black Community, always ready to point out the negative, but what about the positives? What about those who are being unprecedented changes we need to influence us, and others to be the best version of themselves, unwavered? I don't know about y'all, but I have plenty who have been visual, and enlightened images for me to even be here today. Representation Ma...

What's your flava? Tell me, what's your flava?! Craig David asked this many years ago, and the crazy thing is, the stigma of this song still applies. I discussed the essence of the Black Woman the last episode, but I did mention we're uplifted, and torn down at the same time from by some Black men. It's a fetish, one where they "go hard" for us, but seem to choose the "others", I just want to know...

Black women are always forced into this theory, that being "strong" is supposed to be deemed as a compliment, but in reality, it's a stigma perpetuated by somebody else's version of us. It's one expectation, that we have to endure all, and at that do it alone. A theory we have to conquer all, and do it alone, but why? I don't want to be "strong", and why aren't any other ethnicity required to have...

Yeah, so this is a story time, I want to share my growth in communication. I mainly wanted to let you know, 🚩RED FLAGS GREAT DEFLECTORS, are like SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURES!🚩 Grab some popcorn, and a drank, this ride had no safety precautions. But I had discernment! Tap in...it's real
