    Episode 29: "Through the Chaos, We Rise: Remembering the Titans"
    2025/11/19
    Hey my lilies 

    In this week’s episode of Ink & Impact, we’re diving deep into Remember the Titans — not just as a film, but as a reflection of what we’re living through right now. With the world shaking, politics roaring, families stretching to survive, and peace feeling harder to find, this story reminds us of something powerful:

    Even through chaos… we rise.

    Today, we break down the movie through the lens of leadership, unity, and resilience, and compare it to the challenges facing our nation and our households. From racial division to political tension, from economic stress to personal battles, we explore how the lessons of the Titans still speak truth in 2025.

    We’ll look at what it truly means to be a Titan — not just on the field, but in the real world.
    How integrity becomes a lifestyle.
    How unity becomes a decision.
    How leadership becomes a daily choice.
    And how we, as individuals and as a community, can stand firm even when everything around us feels divided.

    Because just like Coach Boone taught his team, strength isn’t found in the absence of struggle —
    it’s built in the middle of it.

    So tune in, breathe deep, and let this episode give you clarity, grounding, and a fresh sense of purpose for the season ahead.

    Let’s rise through the chaos, my lilies.

    Episode 28: The state of now!
    2025/11/14
    Hey my lilies
    As we step into Episode 28, I want to take a moment to pause with you and face the reality of what our nation is moving through right now. From the shifts in food assistance, to the uncertainty around tariffs and possible payments, to the strain hitting our airports and federal workers — this season is impacting real families, real homes, and real hearts.
    In this episode, we’re unpacking what’s happening right now as we head into the new year. We’re touching on the food stamp delays and how they’re affecting households across the country, the rising conversations about tariff checks and stimulus rumors, the slowdown at airports due to staffing issues, and how all of this is reshaping what the holiday season feels like for millions of Americans.
    This conversation is about knowledge, awareness, and community — understanding what we’re facing and figuring out, together, how we stay grounded, informed, prepared, and connected.
    If you’re feeling the weight of this moment, you’re not alone. Let’s breathe through it, talk through it, and find some clarity as a nation, as a community, and as lilies.
    Tune in, settle in, and let’s walk through this season hand-in-hand.

    Episode 27: “Family and Step Brothers: The Ups, Downs, and Laughter of Siblinghood”
    2025/11/07
    Hey my lilies 🌺— this week, we’re bringing it home with a little laughter, love, and nostalgia. Inspired by the hilarious classic Step Brothers (2008), I’m diving into the ink behind the script and the impact it’s had on all of us who grew up arguing with siblings, sharing rooms, and learning what family really means.

    I’m joined by my sisters, Megan and Sha Sha (aka Shatonia), as we talk about our favorite scenes, childhood memories, and the real-life moments that made us who we are. From the iconic bunk bed chaos to the beauty of growing together, this one’s all about the ups, downs, and laughter of siblinghood.

    So sit back, reflect, and remember—your ink tells a story, and when you share it with love, that story leaves an impact. 💜

    Episode 26: “Tales from the Crypt” w/ Reflection
    2025/10/31
    Halloween Special

    It’s Halloween — that time of year when we all remember those eerie late nights watching Tales from the Crypt, waiting for the Crypt Keeper to give us a grim little lesson about greed, obsession, or just plain hatefulness.

    But behind all the chills and one-liners, there was always a message — one that came from the view of a skeleton who’d already seen it all. From the crypt, he shared life lessons wrapped in dark humor and bone-deep truth.

    So for this week’s episode, we’re doing things a little differently. No short clips — this time, we’re diving into a full episode of Tales from the Crypt. We’ll listen, reflect, and break it down together. It’s a mix of live reaction and thoughtful reflection — my honest take in real time.

    So grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and join me for this Halloween special of Ink & Impact. As we close out October and step into November, remember: even the crypt has stories of new beginnings.

    Let’s enjoy the eerie and the insight, right here on Ink & Impact.

  • Episode 25: Final Destination: Faith, Fate, and Death’s Design

    Episode 25: Final Destination: Faith, Fate, and Death’s Design
    2025/10/24
    Hey my lilies 🌺 today we’re diving deep into one of the most haunting, thought-provoking, and strangely spiritual horror series of all time — Final Destination. From Alex’s chilling vision in the very first film to Iris’ legacy in the sixth, this episode of Ink & Impact unpacks what it truly means to cheat death, face destiny, and live with faith even when fate seems written in stone.

    We’ll walk through every movie — 1 through 6 — revisiting each main character’s vision, fear, and fight for survival. Each story gives us a glimpse into the same question we all wrestle with: can we ever escape what’s already designed for us?

    From fate vs. destiny to the illusion of control, blind spots of awareness, and the loops that bring us right back to where we started — this one is about more than horror. It’s about life, intuition, and divine timing.

    🕯️ Stick around ‘til the end as we unpack the lesson behind Death’s Design, explore what it means to have faith while waiting for fate, and close with a teaser of Final Destination 7, rumored for release in 2027.

    🎧 It’s about more than fear — it’s about fate, faith, and finding meaning in the moments that remind us how fragile life really is.

    — Ink & Impact: where film meets faith, and every story finds its purpose.

    Episode 24: “The Trial of Faith: The Exorcism of Emily Rose”
    2025/10/17
    Hey my lilies 🌺

    Tonight’s episode is one that walks between faith and fear, truth and trembling. We’re diving into the haunting yet powerful story of Anneliese Michel — the young woman whose faith shook the world and inspired the film The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

    Through this seven-part journey, we’ll explore who she was, her family, the priests, the courtroom that turned her pain into evidence, and the demons whose names still echo through the recordings. But more importantly, we’ll uncover the faith that lived underneath it all — the quiet, unshakable belief that even in her suffering, she stood for something greater than herself.

    This isn’t just a story about possession.
    It’s a story about purpose.
    About what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling — and how sometimes, walking with God means facing your darkest night to find His light.

    So grab your journal, your tea, or just your thoughts,
    and let’s step into the story of a warrior —
    so that we, too, may learn how to fight like one.

  • Episode 23: The Warrens — Faith, Fear, and the Armor of God.

    Episode 23: The Warrens — Faith, Fear, and the Armor of God.
    2025/10/10
    Hey my lilies 🌺

    Tonight, we’re stepping into the world of faith and fear through the eyes of two of the most talked-about figures in paranormal history — Ed and Lorraine Warren. From haunted farmhouses to demonic possessions, these two stood as spiritual warriors, not ghost hunters — fighting darkness not with weapons, but with the Word of God and the armor of faith.

    We’ll walk through the stories that defined them:

    👻 The Conjuring — where the Perron family faced a darkness that tested every ounce of their faith, reminding us that spiritual warfare is real but so is God’s covering.

    💍 The Enfield Haunting — and Janet Hodgson, the young girl caught in a storm of doubt and disbelief, learning that innocence doesn’t mean weakness — it means being seen and shielded by God even when the world calls you a lie.

    🕯️ The Devil Made Me Do It — where a courtroom turned into a battleground of belief as Arne Johnson stood accused, declaring that what he faced wasn’t madness — it was malevolence. Through his trial, we’re reminded that truth often sounds crazy until God confirms it.

    🏠 And finally, The Last Rites — the true story of the Smurl family, eight people living in one house, tormented for over a decade. Their endurance wasn’t just survival; it was a testimony. Because deliverance doesn’t always come in a single prayer — sometimes it’s a lifetime of standing in faith, refusing to let the darkness win.

    Through each story, we’ll look beyond the screams and shadows — to the spiritual strength that held these families together, and the faith that carried the Warrens through decades of disbelief and danger.

    Because the real message in all of this isn’t about the hauntings — it’s about what happens when you stand firm, when you put on the full armor of God, and face what others fear to even name.

    Ephesians 6:11 says,
    “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

    So tonight, we’re not just talking about horror… we’re talking about hope through horror.
    We’re talking about what it means to walk through shadows, holding onto light.

    Welcome to Ink & Impact: The Warrens — Faith, Fear, and the Armor of God.
    Let’s begin.🌺

    Episode 22: “Strength of Street Knowledge: The N.W.A. Legacy”
    2025/10/03
    Hey my lilies 🌺
    When we talk about inspiration, we can’t leave out music. Music has always been more than sound—it’s an expression of truth, struggle, and freedom. In this episode of Ink&Impact, we’re reflecting on one of the most influential groups in hip hop history: N.W.A. From Compton’s raw reality to shaping a culture, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and Ice Cube left behind legacies that teach us about following dreams, standing on values, and sparking belief in others.

    We’ll dive into their beginnings, their music timelines, their impact, the Straight Outta Compton biopic, and how holding onto your vision can inspire generations—even when the world says no.
