In this episode, I sit down with my friend Cynthia to talk about how an unexpected move back home led to new beginnings, deeper connections, and powerful lessons. From navigating family dynamics and back-to-back grief to finding genuine friendship in the midst of it all, we unpack what it really means to grow, heal, and start fresh — even when life doesn’t go as planned.

From high school hallways to grown-folk problems, we’ve seen it all together! In this episode, I catch up with two of my day-one friends as we laugh a lot, get real about layoffs and life changes, and reflect on how our friendship has stood the test of time. There are jokes, a few tears, and plenty of reminders that no matter how much life shifts, some bonds just don’t break.

In this premiere episode of Here For The Journey: Unfiltered, I sit down with the woman who started it all — my mom. We talk about her journey of finding out she was pregnant with me at 17, the pivots life forced her to make, and how our relationship has grown through love, laughter, and truth. From teenage motherhood to me coming out as gay, this episode is full of raw conversations, lessons, and laughs. It’s the perfect reminder that every journey begins somewhere — and ours began together.
