Sugarbeat Podcast

Join me as I close my out birthday week: what a jam packed week this was for real. We took a small skip over to Orlando to finish up my birthday celebration. I have decided that 28 is going to be filled with even more adventures than any other year before (cliche I know), but I’m dead serious. I finally crossed out one of the things on my bucket list so we’ve got a good start! I was able to fulfil...

Welcome back to the Sugarbeat Summer Series! Of course you guys know that I have thoughts about Halle Bailey being cast as Ariel in the live remake of the Little Mermaid. I have so many thoughts about minority representation in the media. And I don’t shy away from talking about these live action Disney remakes. Check out IG (@sugarbeatpodcastmiami) for my favorite Ariel memes and our picks for oth...

I am sooooo excited for the first of many in the Sugarbeat Summer Series ☀️ It’s basically me with friends trying to beat the summer heat. Today I have several guests at the same time so my apologies now for the audio. One of those guests being Sofie, who makes her Sugarbeat debut. Here’s THAT Maluma commercial: https://youtu.be/uHNvlyZ87VI We discuss the nuances behind referring to a man as a red...

Your eyes do not deceive you, two episodes in just one week! I talk about this awesome crowdfunding campaign (https://wefundblack.com/projects/soul-food-market/), everyone and their mom (or rather my mom) kept interrupting me, even Sunny disrupts my recording: Top 10 Anime Betrayals. And as hurricane season starts we do an obligatory ‘please do some hurricane prepping’ PSA.

I think it’s safe to say that if you haven’t seen the movie and listening to this episode you’ve made a big mistake. This episode is ALL SPOILERS. So spoiler alert 😬 That being said, come on a journey where I try to review the movie by memory and hijinx ensue! Endgame: A movie so good it made me feel the feels all the way through the second time. I’m definitely sticking with the original rating I...

“To All the Marvel Boys I’ve Loved...” This is a general review of the entire MCU and what it means to me! This is my love letter. I’m so thankful to the house that Stan Lee built and what they have contributed to the comic and cinematic culture. Intro Song: Amigo by Roberto Carlos Outro Song: I Ain't Mad At Cha by Tupac

Hey guys I just wanted to do a little homage to Paris and the Notre Dame! I love Paris so seeing those videos of the cathedral in flames was deeply saddening. But alas, there's hope! Come for the Notre Dame facts, stay for the Paris story time. You know how I do. To learn more about the flying buttresses here you go: https://news.northeastern.edu/2019/04/15/notre-dames-gothic-architectural-feature...

This episode is extra long, I guess I had a lot to say. The main takeaway is: let’s make Nip proud. Let’s celebrate each other, love ourselves, love one another, and help each other reach our fullest potential. Edit: Just found out that BET will be airing Nipsey Hussle’s memorial at 1 PM EST. It will also be streaming on BET.com and their FB. I’ll be reposting the info on IG as well.

I'm so excited to be celebrating Black History Month 2019 with you guys! It's the shortest month of the year so we've got to make the most of it! I talk a little bit about the SOTU and the response. I also share some cool BHM events down here in Miami and a poignant poem by Langston Hughes ("Let America Be America.") Please reach out with any cool BHM events I should pay attention to! You know I l...

I'm so excited to bring such a fun ep to you guys! My snap followers (@Milliter23) know that I'm infamous for my rants and raves particularly with movies. Tune in as I delve into this (spoiler-free) review of the latest addition to the roster of Spiderman movies. Although overshadowed by my love for DC Comics (alternatively, my loyalty through the DCMU), I really have always enjoyed Spiderman thro...

Happy New Year you guys! Coming off the airport runway, I come bearing stories about my time in Colombia, the importance of traditions, and a little encouragement on how to take your resolutions way beyond the first month of the year. Don't worry, we'll work on this together. Hit me up with your thoughts, share your own holiday traditions, and feel free to let me know what your resolutions for thi...

Welcome to my favorite time of year: Art Basel season! I'm taking it easy these days due to my random cold spell (sorry for the sick sound). I just hate being away from the mic though! I talk a little bit about what I love and my pet peeves when it comes to Basel. Shout out to our local ABC channel for putting together a pretty straightforward guide to all the events: https://www.local10.com/enter...

I'm baaaack! Sorry for that unforeseen hiatus: between my crazy changes with work and then being super sniffly and coughy, I had to take a break. But I'm much better now and super excited to share some stories again. Let's catch up, we have so much to talk about! Welcome to the EPTX.

Hey guys. This is a little episode that I threw together while I was in Colombia. I love that it’s me with my family in the midst of the craziness and the emotion. This is one is dedicated to my grandfather Rafael Ojeda Molina. I look back and see that a lot of my drive to read, seek out information, and my journalistic approach to life is something that I can say is contributed to my Abuelo. Come...

We're so sad that our dear Kirsten's (aka Kireña) last day is here! We ended her time doing what she wanted: Happy Hour at the historic Ball & Chain in Little Havana and then late night pizza at Casola's (nomnomnom). And remember FL election day is August 28th!

Join me as we take a look at the little pieces that come together and make the area of Greater Miami. Please check out Larry Wiggins’ “The Birth of the City of Miami” published in 1995 in Tequesta Magazine. It gives a pretty good synopsis of how Miami got its’ start! In order to understand the Miami madness, we need to paint the picture of how the area is structured. Reach out Snapchat-Milliliter2...
