On this episode of TMI with Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne “The General”, we get ALL the way into it. From the real story behind skipping Essence Fest, to breaking down the ongoing Target boycott, how they tried to camouflage their presence at Essence, and why staying true to the people matters more than any stage or spotlight.

Then, we shift gears for part 2 of the Pull Up for Peace conference that brought together over 600 community organizers, peacekeepers, and violence interrupters from across the country. We talk about the power of honoring those on the front lines, what it really means to heal as a community, and why choosing peace doesn’t mean being soft—it means being strategic.

Hosts Tamika D. Mallory, Mysonne the General, Dr. Jamila T. Davis, and Tara Wallace link up for an crossover of TMI and I Love Me More.

We’re talking real talk: gun violence as a public health crisis, breaking the chains of poverty through financial literacy, generational wealth building, starting businesses with $500, mentoring the youth, and uniting for community power.

With a room full of changemakers, students, and future millionaires, this episode drops gems on:

• Why healing is the new hustle

• How to flip your mindset (and your money)

• Why community collaboration is more powerful than competition

• Building networks that work for us

Whether you're a teen trying to level up, an organizer making change, or someone looking for inspiration to reinvest in yourself, this one’s for you. Let’s get to the bag the right way.

Stop scrolling. Pull Up for Peace. Press play. Let’s go.
