Boston is known for a lot of things, a thriving creative scene isn't necessarily one of them. This is not to say that it doesn't exist, it's just not as prominent as the creative scenes in other cities around the country. As I hope to bring light to this community through my podcast, it's been an honor to be able to connect with someone like The Poetic Artiste who strives to have a similar impact through her paintings, poetry, and art shows. In this episode, her second appearance on the show, we discuss her most recent line of paintings, her creative process, and her upcoming art show, Voices & Visions, which will be taking place on Friday, November 22.

2024 has been an interesting year in hiphop: we saw the two biggest artists of the last decade go at it head to head while the rest of the genre seems to be stalling out. Though I'm only 25, I've been emotionally invested in hiphop for the better part of 20 years and I am quite concerned about the place it's in, but my friend Julian thinks I'm overreacting. Check out the full conversation and let me know where you stand.

At the ripe age of 25, I am now considered an old head by anyone younger than me. Given the fact that many of the conversations I have for this podcast revolve around the experiences of being a young adult, I decided that I would examine the thoughts of my 20 year old cousin, Naomi, who is entering her third year in college. We touched on the business venture she is launching aimed at bringing hair care items to college campuses, voting and the upcoming election, as well as her intention to be engaged by graduation despite her insistence that she does not entertain men 😂.

As a certified chatter, I love to use my social media to incite conversations. Recently, my friend Gianna and I have had a number of spirited discussions via Instagram dms to the point that she felt like she needed to come on the pod to express herself... except she showed up not knowing what it is she wanted to say so I had to carry the conversation as usual 🙄. Join us in our exploration of the age old gender & relationship topics that have the internet in a chokehold.

I cannot stress the importance of having friends who value the same things you do, because it is through a mutual friend who is a musician herself that I met this episode's guest, Tiril Jackson. Tiril is a singer, songwriter, and producer hailing from Norway and is currently enrolled at Berklee College of Music. We spent much of this conversation discussing her development as an artist while also touching on some of the notable storylines from the mainstream music industry.

One thing y'all need to know about me: I LOVE music. Though we cover a wide range of topics and speak with all kinds of people on this podcast, the episodes where I'm able to interview musical artists will always be some of my favorites. For this episode I am joined by Boston R&B artist and songwriter Tamera King, who gives us insights into how she's developed as an artist, her influences, and so much more.

2024 is a tough time to be a young person: the job market sucks, the cost of living is sky high, we're watching multiple genocides unfold across the globe and it feels like there's not a thing we can do about it. In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Sanii as we discuss how we're navigating this world we've been thrown into, specifically as it pertains to living in the Boston area.

When people ask me what my ethnicity is, I tell them that I'm Jamaican (along with African American), but I have never once claimed to be Jamaican as far as a strong cultural identity goes. This, however, does not matter to this episode's guest, Codi Ann Reid, who has objected to any type of Jamaican association on my part since we shared the halls of Harvard's Adams House. Heritage and identity center much of our conversation, while we also explore ideas of liminality, emotional suppression, and others that have shaped our senses of self.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: I firmly believe dating and relationship discourse is beyond played out on the internet... that don't mean I won't participate every once in a while though 😂. I'm joined in this conversation by two of my close friends, Nellisha, a returning guest, and Cece, who's blessing the mic for the first time. Listen in as we discuss our own shortcomings in past relationships, non-negotiables and dealbreakers, and a whole lot more.
