In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey to being diagnosed with autism and everything it’s brought up for me. From early childhood experiences and the signs I missed, to the full assessment process and finally feeling seen, I open up about how life is starting to make more sense. I reflect on the years I felt different, the exhaustion of masking and the peace I’ve found in finally having answers. If you’ve ever questioned yourself, this one’s for you.

In this episode I open up about the emotional weight of letting go of people, timelines and the version of life I thought I’d have. From romantic and platonic relationships to the moments my body remembers even when my mind tries to move on, this one’s raw and reflective. I talk about what it feels like to still be processing, how old wounds can resurface and why struggling doesn’t mean you’re not healing. If you’ve been beating yourself up for not being “over it,” this is your reminder to offer yourself grace ❤️.

In this unfiltered episode, I open up about a major shift in how I see my purpose. For so long, I believed my voice was meant for singing but lately, I’ve realised it’s meant for something deeper. From setting a bold boundary and choosing myself, to dreaming of my own talk show and using my voice to heal. This is me, stepping into alignment. Vulnerable, honest and from the heart ❤️.

This week, I’m opening up about my experience with monitoring spirits—those friends, family members, and even past lovers who’ve watched me, judged me, and shown fake support. From weird behaviour to mistreatment online, I’ve had to learn how to protect my energy, trust my intuition, and accept that not everyone clapping is clapping for the right reasons. This episode is a reminder to guard your glow and lean into discernment.

In this episode, I’m sharing my neurodivergent journey. How getting diagnosed with ADHD last year gave me the validation I didn’t know I needed, and why I now believe I might also be autistic. From growing up feeling “too sensitive” and misunderstood, to navigating shame and silence in the Black community, this one’s close to the heart. I also break down facts and stats around ADHD and autism, especially how it affects Black women, and why so many of us are only now being seen 🍒.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why the dating scene feels more cooked than ever, from dry chats on dating apps to my own frustrations with navigating modern love. I open up about my disorganised attachment style, what it’s taught me, and why so many of us are just wounded and winging it. Plus, I answer a juicy dilemma in The Cherry Chat that involves betrayal, strip lashes, and a girl coming to someone as a woman... 👀✨

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it really means to step into your power as a Black woman—soft, strong, and unapologetically selfish. I talk about growing up with insecurities, being picked apart by my own mother, and how that shaped the way I saw myself for years. But that girl isn’t me anymore. Now? I’m choosing myself boldly, embracing my beauty, and living in my bad bitch era. If you’ve ever struggled with self-worth or felt torn between being strong and being soft, this one’s for you ❤️.

In this episode, I’m opening up about what it really means to be the eldest daughter in an African household—where responsibility isn’t just expected, it’s inherited. From raising siblings to navigating adulthood way too early, I’m sharing my personal story of sacrifice, missed milestones, and the emotional weight that comes with being “the strong one.” If you’ve ever felt like you had to grow up before you were ready, this one’s for you 🫂.

Welcome to the first Unapologetically Unfiltered episode—shorter, raw, and straight from the heart. We're diving into intuition, spiritual gifts, and how everything in life feels connected. I also touch on my experiences with psychedelics, the fascinating Telepathy Tapes podcast by Ky Dickens, and those unexplainable moments that make you question reality. Let’s explore the magic of the unknown together! ✨
