That's so Thinkative Podcast
Welcome to "That’s So Thinkative," my digital diary and a heartfelt love letter to myself. Inspired by my favorite childhood show, "That's So Raven," this is my safe space to explore and express who I am and learn more about the world around me.Each week, you can look forward to either a self-reflective episode, a candid conversation with someone I care about or a deep dive into an interesting topic or person I've discovered.My hope is that as I uncover more about myself and learn from the world, you’ll find some insights for yourself too. Thank you...

Hi MY DEARS,
Hope all is well! Voting for a black woman for president was a moment of hope that quickly turned into a whirlwind of emotions with the unexpected election results. Join me on this emotional journey as I navigate the aftermath of political upheaval, confronting the harsh realities of those around me who supported an opposing candidate. This episode of That's so Thinkative offers a deeply personal reflection on resilience, particularly the resilience of black women who, despite consistently lifting others, often find themselves let down. I share insights...

I share some of the stories told in his autobiography, “E.A.R.L.” and stories I read about online.
DMX, formerly known as Crazy Earl, and then DMX the Great, was a raw, ICONIC and vulnerable rapper from Yonkers! His music is rough, dark, spiritual but shows who ...DMX truly is, “a man who never was a boy.”
It truly is a blessing...
