Heeeey Yall. My first time back on the mic in a long while, I talk through the insecurities and comparisons that kept me off the mic. WNBA legend and Indigenous Icon Ryneldi Becenti is celebrated as #QueerWOC of the week, I break down a depression study that went viral on TikTok, and share my thoughts on why Black Capitalism will never be how we get free.
