Queen Talks with Nerra Muhammad

Sooooooo, this just might be my favorite episode yet! Y'all know how much I love to get personal and so I just let all that I've been feeling these past couple of days pour out of me. I realized that while I'm so busy trying to handle everything, take care of everything, there's no one there to take care of me. I don't just want a #softlife, I want a #softlove. Just hear me out...

Queens, Kings, and Things, how's the soft life treating you?! I am hoping well! It's been too long since the last time we connected so I just wanted to check in with ya, remind you that you ARE doing the BEST that you can in these strange times we're living in and remind that the #softlife isn't just a hashtag or cute saying but an actual way of life. I share some of the things I do to help center...

So much swirling around the world wide web and social media and I just had ENOUGH! I thought so much about how I felt while I was married, when I decided to separate, when I decided to go public, to speak my truth, and how it was received. I thought about how I felt throughout the process of it all. I thought about the things people said directly to me, behind my back, or thought but never said al...

Let’s talk for a minute about…love. Let’s talk about not allowing past relationships, hurt, pain, keep us in a place where we’re afraid to move forward with our lives or cut ourselves off in love. Let’s talk about taking back our power, fighting for ourselves just as hard as we fight for those who love the chase. Let’s talk.

“Queen Talks with Nerra” is back with track of season 4!!! I had the privilege of tapping into @drbridgetmd on the topic of using marijuana in the #softgirlera. We discussed the benefits of marijuana, the laws, the stigmas that have made many users feel guilty, and how and where you can purchase some of the amazing CBD products that the doctor has to offer! We had a wonderful, informative discussi...

And just like that we are "breaking you off" with season 4 of "Queen Talks with Nerra" and this season, we're diving into what the "soft life" or "soft girl era" looks and feels like and why it's so necessary to live under this umbrella! And so, each week we will be discussing the "soft life" in different areas of your life but on this firs...

Each year I try to grow, to be a better version of myself than I was the year before. If I take an honest look at myself, I can say that in some ways I have and in other areas, a girl still has work to do! This year, I am all about surrendering to the Divine! Getting out of my own way and making room for what is meant for me and guess what? That shit is hard! Join me for this week's episode as I b...

But let's be real, there were MULTIPLE missed opportunities in that game...don't let the Raven's performance be an example of how y'all treating GOOD people in real life!!! Just out here #fumbling good people, good opportunities chance after chance! There's nothing worse than living with a bunch of regrets and bad...

And how I'm holding the glass of Prosecco in the pic is EXACTLY how I'll be listening to tonight's episode dropping at 11pm EST, but with a glass of Brut. I want to get comfortable so I can enjoy this episode with my sister and licensed counselor, @sen.tered who is currently attending an amazing PhD program as well, as we discuss trauma bonding more in depth. Sis dropped some jewels that we can AL...

Trauma bonding happens when an abuser uses manipulation tactics and cycles of abuse to make the victim feel dependent on them for care and validation, causing a strong attachment or bond. This often occurs in romantic narcissistic relationships , but can also occur in families, friendships, or work relationships. - Erica Laub This topic needed more than one episode because it's such a heavy topic...

Listen, I know I'm not the only one who has been struggling to get her shit together over these past couple of weeks! Getting the most basic tasks done lately has been so hard and I've just been in a funk that I am dying to get out of! On this week's episode, I identified a few key areas of my life that needed improvement and then offered up tips for myself to use! LOL! Of course I HIGHLY encourag...

Some say that in America, black people don't have a culture. Some say that all other races appropriate black-American culture but they both cannot be true. We in fact do have a very rich culture here in America. Monday-Friday, 3-5pm EST, Farajii Muhammad discusses the culture on Roland Martin's Black Star Network . This week we have him joining us to discuss a recent analysis from none other than...

On this week's episode I had the privilege of speaking to Queens Moni and Kat of @thefabpodcast about the importance of supporting black authors and publishers, the camaraderie that we share over books, and how to overcome the struggles of being black in the writing .

In this Season 3 opener, Nerra gets candid about dating in 2022! Highlighting personal experiences and the do's and don'ts of "dating" or at the very least, getting in the pants of a woman with substance, Nerra leaves you with relatable content that will also make you laugh.

This episode I really wanted to culminate all of season 2 and I think I was able to accomplish just that!! For over a decade I have referred to my as the Dragon Slayer or Runaway Slave and it has always been about a mentality of growth mindset before I knew the coined term. I've always known that even in my darkest hours, there's a strength and fire within me that always propels me forward. I want...

I shake up most people's views on forgiveness and rightfully so! I'm hoping to leave you ALL feeling empowered after this episode! I used the Bible and what therapists are saying to defend my case and I must say, your girl should have been a lawyer! Lol! Stop forgiving people who aren't sorry and definitely STOP attaching YOUR healing to forgiving your perpetrator! That is classic gaslighting that...

There's power in manifestation. There's power in being able to voice your desires. Speak LIFE to your dreams, your goals, and affirm who you are. If you knew just how powerful your THOUGHTS were, you'd think more positively about yourself, the people around you, the world around. Tell the universe what you want! It's like the sayings go, "Ask and you shall receive. Closed mouths don't get fed," so...

ONE month down, ELEVEN months to go! Whether you're feeling accomplished or unaccomplished, KEEP GOING! Transparent moment, this month, this YEAR has started off rough asf! But you know what, when I looked back at my "Work in Progress" planner, I realized that I've actually been working so hard this month! Sometimes we're so busy doing the behind the scenes work, the grunt work that we don't reali...

Whether you're the "ghoster" or the "ghostee", you're both going to be left with scars from the "Ghosting Era". Studies show that 80% of millenials have been "ghosted", and 78% have admitted to "ghosting" someone else. And here's the thing, that shit HURTS. In fact, it hurts way worse than simply telling the other person, "I'm not interested." From feelings of confusion, self-doubt, an inability t...

When we talk about cancel culture, it has always been in terms of cancelling a celebrity who either does something inappropriate or pisses us off but why don't we apply cancel culture to the people or habits in our lives? Why, do we put up with people and situations that do not serve us? How can we apply "cancel culture" to our personal lives? Listen to find out more because in 2022, we're protect...

I read a meme on IG that got me to thinking, "Is social media creating narcissists?" and I just had to hop on my mic and talk about this topic! Joining me this week is special guest, Farajii Muhammad, host of "The Culture" airing on Black Star Network January 2022, current contributor on "Roland Martin Unfiltered", and former host of WEAA 88.9fm's "For the Culture". Farajii and I discuss the harmf...

Realized that I'm tired of living in the shadow of other people's expectations of me. Constantly asking myself the question, which version of me do I need to be? When in reality, I was left feeling like the different versions of myself were in competition with one another instead of accepting myself as a whole being. I am not one thing. I am not smart over sexy nor sexy over smart, I am both with...

On this Episode, explore with Nerra, the concept of not trying to make ourselves fit into spaces we don't belong in. Prince Charming should have remembered her face, not been searching for a woman to fit a shoe!!! When it's REAL it's ours, we don't have to fit for it, question it, or be unsure. In 2022, we're not making the shoe fit. We're not sitting at the tables where we aren't truly welcomed a...

So how am I cleaning out my closet, listen to find out! https://www.michaels.com/the-classic-happy-planner-neutral-waterc...
