Send us a Text Message.

When the people we admire fall from grace, it stings like betrayal. This episode doesn't shy away from the hard conversations as we grapple with the disappointing allegations against Diddy, and what it means for our community when role models fail us. As we tackle the complex intersection of celebrity, accountability, and domestic violence, we also pause to honor the importance of mental health and therapy—a subject deeply personal to us, and intertwined in every discussion.

Turning the spotlight inward, we celebrate the victories that keep us grounded: Big Shea's birthday outpouring of love, and my partner's triumphant return to academia. Their stories aren't just feel-good moments—they're testaments to the resilience and support that define us. And amidst these reflections, we pay homage to Malcolm X, advocating for his birthday to be a national holiday, and toast to the transformative power of personal reinvention. It's an episode rich with introspection and joy, a reminder that even in the face of disappointment, we harbor incredible strength and capacity for change.

Yet, it's impossible to ignore the shadow cast by the darker side of our idols. We take an unflinching look at the harrowing video of a woman in distress linked to Diddy, and the ensuing scrutiny of his alleged actions. Through the lens of Cassie and Diddy's relationship, we dissect the chilling grip of abusive partnerships, especially under the glare of fame and power. This episode is a call to action—a challenge to dismantle the cycle of violence and manipulation, and a rally for the integrity of successful black men in a society fraught with pressures. Listen as we confront the uncomfortable, seeking pathways to healing, growth, and a better understanding of the complex world we navigate.
