TitleThe Culture, The Crisis, The Call — Featuring Rachel Noerdlinger

This week on TMI, Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne keep it all the way real. From celebrating Jennifer Williams’ big 5-0 to walking the runway at New York Fashion Week, the episode kicks off with laughs, culture, and community vibes. But things quickly get deeper as they break down the tragic case of Trey Reed, the rise of racial violence, and what it means to fight back against political chaos and censorship in America.

Tamika shares her thought of the day on fascism, free speech, and why it’s more important than ever to support independent Black voices and media platforms. The duo also tackles the disturbing spike in domestic violence and mental health struggles in Black communities bringing urgency, empathy, and solutions.

To round things out, Tamika and Mysonne sit down with powerhouse PR exec Rachel Noerdlinger. From her early days at the Terry Williams Agency to working alongside legends like Johnny Cochran and Rev. Al Sharpton, to becoming a partner at one of the fastest-growing public affairs firms in the world, Rachel drops gems on resilience, entrepreneurship, and what it really takes to build your own lane in the face of adversity.
