WhatJayeSaid: The Podcast

TW: Sexual Assault; Sexual Assault on College Campuses With what is happening in the intersection of higher education, women, and sexual assault, there's more to this conversation than what we think. This conversation is generation's old, and women are tired. No woman deserves to be raped. No woman deserves to have their body in sense of safety taken from them. Especially in a place where...

Black women have always galvanized change and demanded it. This post from a post I did with a BM on the internet who thought saying 'emotion extortion' was part of Cori Bush-Merrits losing her election. Reference 'NO ENEMIES' by Charles McKay. Click here for the TikTok video which corresponds to this video.

Respectability politics will not save Black people. It never has. Or will. Remember to send all love notes to whatjaysaid@gmail.com.

Nolan X. Wells deserves justice. All signs point to the White folk he was around HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM! Stop playing. Note: I misspoke--I meant to say Officer Tatum not Lamont Tyson. Sorry, Lamont. ------------------- TikTok videos pertaining to Nolan Wells Video 1 click here . Video 2 click here .

"Dr." Cheyenne Bryant and her ilk are frauds. The killer part is the education she 'displays', she could actually earn. Sigh.

In the 'Julio Foolio' Case in Florida, is disheartening. I do not feel bad for Sean Gathright. As a mother, I weep with his mother and sister. As a Black woman, I am wondering why and how this got so out of control?! I want to know how and why so many lives were destroyed over NOTHING. I am also wondering where do we as this collective go from here. I go back to the words of #BlackAdam her...

I am a dual degreed Black woman. I am actively working on degree #3 (Nursing) and #4 (as quiet as it's kept). There is something insidious about what Cheyenne Bryant has done and that cannot be excused. Dr. Raquel Martin called her on her ethics and other questionable behavior regarding her mental health practices. After that call out, 'Dr." Bryant has doubled down on who she is, not...

TW: Racism "Chief Justice" John Roberts waited 46 years to neutralize the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Right is so in line with "policy" they were able to gut the entire voting map. 47 is a dementia patient who is a pedophile, emboldened by backers and handlers to do all he can to rip apart the nation--and devour all of those in it. The administration is a crime syndicate. Ga...

TW: Violence against Black women Every 4.8-5.5 hours a Black woman is murdered. In April 2026, 7 Black women were murdered by their significant others. If you are not angry at this point, you are not paying attention. Those women are: Dr. Cerina Fairfax Pastor Tammy McCollum Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Brown Ashley Robinson (Ashlee Jenae) Qualisha "Saditty" Barnes Devanta Curtis Barbara Dee...

I do not know a time where Rev. Jesse Jackson was in the world. And for that cause, it is a reminder that being a stabilizing force isn't always powerful, or forceful. It is about being sustainable...and present.

I am still beefing with the audio, even as Season 5 ends. As this year wraps up, remember what you have done, gone through, and survived! There is still everything to do, and even the strongest warriors need to rest and need respite. 2026 is coming...and we will be ready for it. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. Happy Thursday.

Hostess note: I was fighting with the intro and outro this week darlings, bear with me. The world is on fire--and I'm real fed up! ICE is evil. Brenay is monumentally stupid. Erika Kirk is a possessed broken Barbie. Remember, all love notes can be sent to whatjayesaid@gmail.com.

My Blackness is not exclusionary to other Black people. Where I am not a Black transwoman, I am a Black woman who knows queer people, knows transpeople, and a lover of my people, I sent sympathy to my queer brethren and sistren. I am not in community enough (aka I don't have the experience of being a trans person) to call Miss Major "Mama" Major. Per my upbringing it would be rude to...

This show is dedicated to the musicians past, present, and future who put the whole damn world between notes, chords, riffs. It is a holy work. It must be.------------- As a Love Poet, this grief is complex. We have him, and have lost him. Yet, love is big enough for us to put God in. --------- This show is also dedicated to the young man who sees me...and brave enough to hold fire in his hands. A...

This show is dedicated to my Big Sister, Deanna L. Fry--the baddest one in the room, who is now at CNN. I am a Stan of Black women and of (former) Madam Vice President Kamala D. Harris. In reading her book, I have a new respect for her, and all the women in politics, journalism, or in any hall of power.

As of the time of this podcast, Misty Danielle Copeland has retired from the American Ballet Theatre. After discovering ballet at 13, from poverty and instability, she has done something beyond incredible. And that needs to be celebrated...and repeated. BLACK BALLERINAS MATTER.

Assata Shakur has always been a part of my life, even when I did not know...or least expected it. Read anything by her, starting with her autobiography of the same name: ASSATA. She passed away in Cuba, out of the clutches of white supremacist justice, at age 78.

TW: WM on WM crime I am neither celebrating nor mourning. I do not give empathy to my oppressors. “The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so...

This episode is introspective. I am sitting with the fact a LOT of my KG-5 education was done through public education. And so was my children's. What will the world look like now that Elmo and 'nem are on streaming? Remember that all lovenotes can be sent to whatjayesaid@gmail.com.

TW: HURRICANE KATRINA This episode is dedicated to this city of New Orleans, and her inhabitants who passed, who prospered, and who made it happen despite the President of the United States (who was George W. Bush (43) at the time)! More love to my adopted family who are still there and who I will see soon! Remember all love notes can be sent to whatjayesaid@gmail.com.

NSFW: Explicit language Rep. Nicole Collier has been kidnapped by the state of Warmer Russia--that used to be Texas. Gov. Gavin Newsome is being the hero AI needs.

TW: SA/Sexual violence, Domestic violence, MAGA extremism The WHOLETIME series comes back with thoughts about the Epstein files, the world's kink with breaking women, thoughts about Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, "MAGA Christian pastors", and why it is NECESSARY to know who you are--not confirm to what the world wants you to be. I am not a good woman, nor am I 'one of the good ones.' All lovenot...
