| 11 Jul 2023 | No. 55: The Price of Being Petty - Is It Truly Worth It? | 00:56:21 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin in this conversation we are going to talk about something that has our culture in a chokehold. I am talking about being petty and the way folks take PRIDE in being PETTY. When I say YOU - I am talking to me, you, you, you and anybody else that it is for. And that is for any and all of us who need to stop being PETTY!
I dive into the different ways being petty may show up in our behaviors, what could be at the root of those behaviors and how being petty can and does effect our all of relationships. I also touch on ways to shift that behavior when you are in the moment to opt out of being negative and unkind. Because, let’s be honest - being petty is just being unkind… Be sure to check out the jam for this week, it’s a FAVORITE of mine & the link for the book that our quote for "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..."

I love you guys so much & I’m honored to share my time & energy with you – ESPECIALLY IF YOU KEEP COMING BACK! I can’t wait until the next time we get to do this again!

| 23 Jan 2024 | No. 80: The Current State of Urban Education - An Educators' Round Table. Part TWO of THREE. | 01:14:58 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this series has been in the making for a long time! I have been wanting to sit down and speak with a table full of veteran educators for a while. I wanted to discuss the state of education and get a pulse on what they feel is going on. It’s important to me to provide a safe and brave space for people to share their stories with the world - and so I did. In part two the educators spoke about how they are navigating the world of urban education.
I had 7 fellow educators to join me in conversation about what is going on in schools as we know it. We all work in Baltimore City School District - a community riddled with violent crime, trauma (direct trauma, vicarious trauma, generational trauma, etc.), lack and sometimes just flat out hopelessness. Tune in to hear part ONE of a three part series with these open, honest, caring and brilliant educators. Be sure to listen and get ready for parts two & three in the upcoming weeks!

| 05 Mar 2024 | No. 84: From Grief to Gratitude + IT'S GRATITUDE CHALLENGE TIME! | 01:09:45 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this episode is around a topic that is a recurring theme here on HAND ME MY PURSE. AND THAT’S GRATITUDE!!! Gratitude is the key to the streets. There are so many conversations that I have had about it & I know for a fact, this won’t be the last conversation had on this podcast where I will talk about GRATITUDE. It’s at the very nucleus of so many aspects of our lives!
I enjoyed having this conversation - with myself, and well with you! I went into some thoughts about how grief, stress and just EVERYDAY LIFE has led me to a space where I am a bit off kilter. It’s time for a full on reset. I have named my grief and given it a song! It was nice to change the narrative and shift it a little bit - so that I am not focused on the negative aspects of grief. It is a great conversation about how to switch from grumpy to GRATEFUL. ALSO, IT’S TIME FOR A GRATITUDE CHALLENGE!!!
We will start on March 12th & go until April 21st! I CANNOT WAIT!!! Please please join me! It’s a great time for a reset.

I wanted to discuss the state of education and what they feel is going on. It’s important to me to provide a safe and brave space for people to share their stories with the world - and so I did.

| 12 Mar 2024 | No. 85: Are You Living For Yesterday, Today or Tomorrow? + LIVING IN THE RIGHT NOW! | 01:16:02 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this episode is around a topic that is a recurring theme in my life and it’s something I am actively working on AND THAT’S STAYING PRESENT!!!
I talk in detail about how through therapy I have learned (and I learned it slowly, and truthfully I’m still learning)that there is power and FREEDOM in uncertainty. If you are one who truly believes in a higher power than yourself and you possibly have an understanding of what true faith is - how is it that you really think you are in control of anything? Listen with the intention to take a step back & look at your life - are you living in the present moment? Of course, I share some techniques to help us stay focused on the present and keep us grounded.
Also, Friends & Kin - it’s for the HAND ME MY PURSE GRATITUDE CHALLENGE!!! Will you be joining me for this round? Make sure to listen to episode No. 84 for the details!!! We will be doing our gratitude challenge for 40 DAYS - from March 12th to April 21st. Feel free to also take a listen to the following episodes to get some insight on how we do gratitude challenges around these parts: No. 36 + No. 37 + No. 44. Check those out & get ready because it’s going down - IN A GOOD WAY!!!🤓

| 04 Jul 2023 | No. 54: Maintaining Healthy Friendships + Going To Paris To See King Beyoncé w/My Bestie Crystal - PART TWO. | 01:27:20 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this episode is final episode of the TWO part show that I did with one of my best friends. Crystal & I have been friends since we were Freshman at Morgan State University! That’s 25 years of friendship. Our friendship is a healthy balance of Libra/Scorpio + Capricorn energy that is a ball of fun. This conversation is all about our big trip to Paris to see King Beyoncé that had a lot of funny and INTERESTING moments! From the strange ladies on the plane talking so loud you would have thought they were on the playground to me knocking a basket of rolls on the floor - intentionally. 🤓🤣 We talk about the experience seeing Beyoncé live and both of us HIGHLY recommend that EVERYBODY that is FINANCIALLY ABLE go to experience, what I believe will be her LAST live performance! It was such an amazing time & although Crystal and I don’t see eye to eye on love for Paris, we had one of the best times ever on vacation - and we travel together several times a year! 🛫🛳️ This vacation was absolutely amazing & I can’t wait to get back to France. I want to visit some other cities, outside of Paris next.
See the links below for MeMe’s Jam, to see the clip of Bella Noches that Crystal & I talked about, if you need to find a therapist AND to find me anywhere on Blue Ivy’s internet! Love y’all & see you next Tuesday! "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..." _______ Listen. Subscribe. Rate. Review.

| 17 Oct 2023 | No. 69: How Comparison & Competition Is Keeping Us From Joy + Detachment As A Way To Release Insecurity. | 00:53:56 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this episode is a little all over the place but all about how society has it set up to keep us insecure. We live in a world that wants us in a space where we are constantly comparing ourselves with others and feeling that we need to compete with other people. We have to navigate this differently. There needs to be a mindset shift, but this type of transformation does not come easily.
I dive into how ways we can shift our mindset to focus on OURSELVES and the present moment to really enjoy what we have. I talk a lot about how the philosophy of detachment can be helpful in focusing on WHAT REALLY MATTERS - and here’s a hint… IT’S NOT COMPARING OURSELVES WITH SOMEONE ELSE. The real tea is that what matters is how we can be our best self. That helps us to be a better human for the people we love and care about, not for the people that we should not be concerned with. FOCUS ON YOU & COMPETE ONLY WITH YOUR YESTERDAY. xoxox

| 27 Feb 2024 | No. 83: Closing Out Black History Month w/Jonathan McCrory + The National Black Theatre. PART TWO. | 01:08:53 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin in this episode I was blessed enough to be in conversation with a Black unicorn, Jonathan McCrory of the National Black Theatre! His story is one of overcoming, perseverance and understanding WHO you are. What an amazing way to close out Black History Month!
In this two part conversation we learn all about my guest. We learn where he comes from, the obstacles and blessings that he navigated during his journey and what he is up to currently. It was a spiritually uplifting conversation that I am truly excited to share with you. Here’s a little bit about Jonathan:
Jonathan McCrory is a Tony Award and Emmy Award nominated producer, 2x Obie Award-winning, Harlem-based artist who has served as Executive Artistic Director at National Black Theatre since 2012 under the leadership of CEO, Sade Lythcott. He has directed numerous professional productions and concerts. He has been acknowledged as an exceptional leader additionally through Craine’s New York Business 2020 Notable LGBTQ Leaders and Executives. In 2013, he was awarded the Emerging Producer Award by the National Black Theatre Festival in Winston Salem, North Carolina, and the Torch Bearer Award by theatrical legend Woodie King Jr. He is a founding member of the collaborative producing organizations Harlem9, Black Theatre Commons, The Jubilee, Next Generation National Network and The Movement Theatre Company. McCrory sits on the National Advisory Committee for Howlround.com and was a member of the original cohort for ArtEquity. A Washington, DC native, McCrory attended the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and New York University’s TISCH School of the Arts.
Enjoy this conversation, as I had such a wonderful time speaking with Jonathan about his life and his work. His story, the work he is doing as well as the work of the National Black Theatre should be something that we know about & THAT, friends & kin is exactly why I am sharing his story with you. Even though, Black History Month is over on the calendar - we should live a life where we strive to learn more and more about our history and the heroes of our communities today.

| 26 Mar 2024 | No. 87: A Conversation with The Professional Homegirl - Eboné Almon. PART TWO. | 01:03:05 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this episode is absolutely a win. It is part one of a two part series wherein, I have an amazing conversation with Eboné Almon, the creator and host of The Professional Homegirl Podcast. Eboné is a native of Memphis, and is just an all around sweetheart. We had such a good time talking and laughing and just being PROFESSIONAL HOMEGIRLS! This is the start of an amazing friendship and I’m so excited!
Eboné has coloring books - THAT ARE SO AWESOME, hoodies, beanies, t-shirts & more! You can get them HERE!!! Guess what, there is a PROMO CODE that she has for my friends & kin to save 15% on some merch. HANDMEMYPURSE the code is live for 15% off of anything on her site.
I CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME OF THOSE COLORING BOOKS! THEY ARE SO COOL!
The WE GOT TO DO BETTER QUOTE was amazing: “I have known the joy and pain of friendship. I have served and been served. I have made some good enemies for which I am not a bit sorry. I have loved unselfishly, and I have fondled hatred with the red-hot tongs of Hell. That's living.” - Zora Neale Hurston
Enjoy part two of this conversation and don’t forget…

Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin in this episode Marcy DePina & I conclude our conversation about the man, the myth, the legend - Sweet Daddy Grace. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be in conversation with Marcy DePina, creator + host of the, “SWEET DADDY GRACE” podcast. Who is Sweet Daddy Grace, you ask… Well go back and listen to episode No. 74 and No. 75 before listening to this one, then just sit back and get ready to learn all about the genius that was a millionaire who created the model for the modern day mega church. A Black man (because that’s exactly what he was) from the island country of Cape Verde, West Africa.
Marcy & I have a very candid conversation that flowed like water down a river about this powerfully eccentric man and all of his accomplishments, accolades, scandals and so much more. If you don’t know who he is - trust me, you will know so much more about him after this series about his life and Marcy’s research in creating this podcast. It’s a beautiful conversation and it just might intrigue you enough to go learn something else for yourself! ENJOY!

| 06 Feb 2024 | RETRO EPISODE No. 13: The Culture of Dating in the Black Community w/B. Jamelle | 01:31:33 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
In the spirit of LOVE & BLACK HISTORY MONTH, I decided to go back into the vault. This episode is a retro conversation from, “The Catalogue”. It is one part of a series of conversations I had with some friends about the culture of dating in the Black Community. My guest Bianca & I discuss the shifts in dating within our community, as we recognize the MAJOR shift is what Bianca calls “THE NEW MONOGAMY”. We discuss some HOT TOPICS such as: polyamory, dating from a place of emotional ego, the conceptual origins of the “Strong Black Woman” & the “Absentee Black Man” and how all of these things created a shift in the way Black men and women engage with one another.
We laugh, dig down into our soul of wonder and get real REAL about some things that may make some folks uncomfortable. We draw on the notion that in order to heal – we have to get to the nucleus of the issue and the only way TO IT is straight THROUGH IT.

Friends and Kin this episode is part one of a heavy conversation that I had with my homegirl, Gina of The Bedroom Bartender! We both made a cocktail that was Autumn inspired, even though it’s been Summertime on the East Coast for the past week and a half. This portion of the conversation is relatively light, so part one is fun and you should try to make both of the cocktails that we made. I had a healthy gut version of a Hot Toddy & Gina had some mulled wine! Get a pen and some paper to take notes for the recipes!
Make sure to tune in next week for part two of our conversation… And maybe bring some tissues cause it’s gonna get heavy…. Heavy and helpful!

Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this series has been in the making for a long time! I have been wanting to sit down and speak with a table full of veteran educators for a while. I wanted to discuss the state of education and get a pulse on what they feel is going on. It’s important to me to provide a safe and brave space for people to share their stories with the world - and so I did. In part three the educators & I spoke very candidly about the ways in which they feel hopeful about the next phases of urban education.
I had 7 fellow educators to join me in conversation about what is going on in schools as we know it. We all work in Baltimore City School District - a community riddled with violent crime, trauma (direct trauma, vicarious trauma, generational trauma, etc.), lack and sometimes just flat out hopelessness. Tune in to hear part ONE of a three part series with these open, honest, caring and brilliant educators. Be sure to listen and get ready for parts two & three in the upcoming weeks!

Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin, this is episode No. 52 of Hand Me My Purse the podcast! For those of you who are new to this show - WELCOME! Take off your coat, and your shoes, sit down and stay awhile… This conversation is centered around celebrating Juneteenth & Black Music Month. This is a month that was created by former president Jimmy Carter to celebrate Black people’s contributions to music! I touch on how our ancestors used music and the gift of song to make their way to freedom. I dive into the beautifully tragic reality that makes up how enslaved Africans made it to the Western world and how even though our ancestors endured this - they still had a song in their spirit. We in turn continue to sing their song, to express through music the songs written onto our DNA.
I hope you enjoy this episode! Leave a rating and review for the show! Check out the links below for the Jam No. 52 & some links of music for some LEGENDS I mentioned ins the episode, Big Mama Thornton & Sister Rosetta Tharpe. These two women are absolute ancestral embodiments of BLACK GIRL MAGIC!!!✨
Oh, and what are y’all sippin’ on?

Hey there Friends & Kin, it's my 44th birthday week and I am going to Disneyworld! Y'all know I have been navigating some serious grief and seven days before my flight I booked a trip to go away for my birthday. Everybody has a place or a thing that is an instant place of joy for them - if you don't know your place or thing, you'd better identify it. Mine is DISNEY THEME PARKS and the beach. I decided to go see Mickey & Minnie - they always know how to make me feel better. There is something about just being in a Disney theme parks, that reminds me of absolute joy and happiness. I recognize some people don't get it, but it's my happy place. "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..."

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this episode is part one of a conversation all about SELF-DECEPTION & SELF-AWARENESS. My guest today is a friend of the show and an actual good friend of mine, Ms. Ebony Vaughan. Ebony has been on the show before! She and I were in conversation on episode No. 34 where we talked about self-love, self-worth and the authentic journey to freedom. Listen HERE to check that episode out.
In this episode we uncover the necessary tools for self-awareness as well as how you miss out on living your in the fullness of life by smothering yourself with the cloak of self-deception. In this state you tend to miss the beautiful bounty that God has for you. We really went in on the ways that a lack of authenticity can stop you from living a FULL LIFE. Please do yourself a favor and check this episode out and get ready for next week’s continuation of this REAL conversation!

Hey Friends & Kin!
I am pretty vulnerable in this episode about my process during Season 4 as I adjusted to life under the iHeartMedia umbrella. Having a solo podcast is not for the faint of heart. It’s a lot of work & a lot of focus. Please take the time to listen to this - I cry a few times! Of course I did! One thing I’m going to do is cry! 🤣
GO LISTEN! ENJOY! GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK! MAKE SURE YOU SUBSCRIBE and/or FOLLOW THE SHOW ON WHATEVER STREAMING SERVICE YOU USE TO LISTEN TO YOUR PODCASTS - SO YOU CAN BE IN THE LOOP WHEN I RETURN FROM THIS LITTLE BREAK! 🤓
I am taking a break between seasons, but I will absolutely be back with more to say! OF COURSE I WILL… Y’all be good until we are together again!!! Stay Tuned! 🤓🧡✌🏾

| 05 Jan 2024 | No. 77: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! - HELLO 2024 + THE FOCUS NEEDED TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR. | 01:30:17 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Y’all it is 2024… WOW!!! Well, this episode is all about preparing for this new year that is upon us. It’s all about focusing on how to make this year the b best year that we can by being GRATEFUL & remaining in a state of GRATITUDE. Also, by being intentional about how we navigate - from something one would see as minuscule to a major moment or decision. It is such an important aspect of JOY & I don’t think a lot of people really understand that. It’s at the very nucleus of our JOY! And if we are going to be INTENTIONAL about JOY, we must first be INTENTIONAL about being GRATEFUL.
I also dive into how my aunt, my cousin and I pick a word to focus our attention and intentions on each new year. This year my word is DISCIPLINE. Do you do this? It’s so helpful and super intentional. What New Year practices or rituals do you do with your loved ones - or solo?

| 19 Sep 2023 | No. 65: Self-Awareness + Who In The World Are You? NO, FOR REAL? | 01:10:24 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin in this episode, we are talking about something that a lot of people think they have down to a science, but folks are really clueless about & that is *drumroll please* SELF-AWARENESS. People do NOT think outside of themselves on a regular basis. Some people carry on like they don’t even know the world exists outside of their realm. BUT IT DOES. And if we are going to be INTENTIONAL about HOW WE LIVE OUR LIVES, we must first be INTENTIONAL about being WHO WE ARE AND HOW WE SHOW UP IN THE WORLD.
I dive into how doing simple things can help you to develop self-awareness in your life and how to incorporate different techniques into your daily living that will help to develop self-awareness in your life. The real question to ask yourself is - WHO IN THE WORLD AM I? No, seriously - who are you in the world & who in the world are you? Literally & Figuratively. I even included a series of questions to ask yourself when you want to do an evaluation of where you are with self-awareness. It might be time for a check-in!

Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin LET’S START BY SAYING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HAND ME MY PURSE the podcast!!!! My baby is 4 years old on this day - April 1st, 2024. It’s been such an amazingly invigorating journey & I don’t play on stopping any time soon! I am learning so much about SO MUCH. Learning about myself and actively going through my healing journey right before your eyes. Working through grief, gratitude & growth. This show has been the catalyst for so many wonderful experiences.
I chose to not just do ONE jam for this episode. I decided to do FOUR + a bonus in celebration of HMMP’s birthday! I was on Spring Break & decided to go to Virginia Beach because it was in my budget. I was able to be close to the water, smell some new air, see some new faces, taste some different foods and just GET AWAY… I’ve said many times on the show that my mother’s father is from this area, the Tidewater Region - Newport News to be exact. Missy is as well, she’s from Portsmouth - so you know in my mind, we cousins. Even though I know we aren’t. Anyway, I love her and I feel like people don’t adore her and cherish her genius the way we should. So I decided to do so. Get into my 4 favorite Missy Elliott songs + a lil’ something I bet you’ve never heard before (which I made the actual jam)! I can’t wait for y’all to listen - all the links are down there. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
This episode was really a reflection. A reflection of the past 4 years and the evolution of Hand Me My Purse. I appreciate all of you for taking this ride with me… YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️

Friends and Kin this episode is gonna make a few people a little upset, but at this point we know that I am not concerned about that. Clearly, I am not here to offend anybody. That’s not my focus and I am not that rude nor concerned with being malicious to DESIRE to just go around offending people - especially people I don’t know in real life. However, some things just need to be said outright. This conversation is all about seeking external validation. I get into the root causes of seeking external validation - especially on social media. If you’re unsure about where to start - you know I always have a link below to help guide you to where to find a therapist in your area. I hope you enjoy the episode and check out the jam of the week!!! "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..." _______ Listen. Subscribe. Rate. Review.
I love you guys so much & I’m honored to share my time & energy with you – ESPECIALLY IF YOU KEEP COMING BACK! I can’t wait until the next time we get to do this again!

Friends and Kin this episode is very personal for me. I am swiftly approaching the anniversaries of my Grandparents transitioning/leaving the earthly realm & I really do not want to be super sad. As a result I am seeking out ways to honor them and hold their spirit up. If you’ve listened to this podcast for a while, you already know how close I was to my grandparents. They were my riders. The chose me over and over and over again. They were an integral part of my life just as I was to theirs.
In this episode I dive into how it’s important and the steps to take to create your own experiences around honoring and celebrating your ancestors. Go take a listen and get ready to take some notes if this is something that piques your interest - we are because of them. They deserve to be celebrated…

Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this episode is going to ruffle a few feathers. I decided to make it a two part situation. Because it could be heavy - not heavy like the last episode. Not saddening, but a lot to process. Especially when we have to sit in what role we may play in keeping this kind of energy alive in our communities. It’s a LOT to process. Don’t take anything personally, cause everything ain’t about you! Love you! I am talking about self-accountability AND the role that our cultural norms and communities may play in the lack of self-accountability. I offer another lens to look at the issue, just a different perspective that could be connected to how and why we may sometimes run from owning our active roles and responsibilities in situations we encounter. Part two will be focused on how to remedy feeling like you cannot just own your behaviors and actions. So be sure to tune in for episode No. 73. In true HMMP form, let’s figure out how to be better. ❤️ "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..."

Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this episode is part two of my conversation with my homie & big time friend of the show, Kandis. As per usual we are laughing, disagreeing, telling all of the jokes - and of course, discussing dating and being single! Tune in for some good laughs but also some serious dialogue around what it’s like to be single in 2023. We talk about some things that people don’t really want to admit - like the freedom in being single!
Listen, being single is extremely freeing and allows you to navigate this planet as you wish. So many people are hellbent on being attached to someone else or something else, but there is a peace in not being bound. Not to say that being in a healthy relationship is BAD, however, there is something to be said about being free to be until we (the singles of the world) meet the person that makes us feel FREE in a HEALTHY, committed union. Until I meet him, I will be focusing on myself and becoming the best version of ourselves that we can be!

| 21 Nov 2023 | No. 73: Self-Accountability + What Often Keeps Us Away From Taking Responsibility of Our Actions. Part Two. | 01:18:22 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin this episode is part two of a conversation about SELF-ACCOUNTABILITY. In the last episode or part one of this discussion we talked about that self-accountability is. We discussed what it looks like, smells like and just the flat out truth about what it is at its core. We also touched on what could be at the nucleus of the lack of self-accountability in certain communities. COMMUNITIES BEING ANY GROUPING OF PEOPLE - FAMILIES, FRIEND CIRCLES. I went over in particular how it can sometimes show up in the Black comunity and WHY... Agree or disagree - it happens a lot and there may be reasons associated with that behavior.
In this episode I dive more into how we are going to combat this and stop this behavior. I talk about deflection versus reflection and I share some information I found on Faith Evans’ internet about how not taking self-accountability and deflecting is a form of gaslighting, narcissism and even emotional abuse. Tune in to see how we can all work on being more reflective and focus on being our best self in spite of mistakes and so called “failures” we may experience in life.
HAVE A HAPPY DAY OF GRATITUDE WITH YOUR LOVED ONES. AND IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANY FAMILY OR FRIENDS TO SPEND THE DAY WITH - KNOW YOU ARE LOVED. xoxoxo.

So FRIENDS & KIN, I am gonna be extremely transparent for this episodeIf you have been listening to this show since its inception then you know around September-ish, sis gets a bit of the blues. Not a heavy depression where I don’t want to leave my bed but we have to remember that depression manifests itself in so many different ways.
There are symptoms that we would never think to associate with depression. In this episode I go over what some of these symptoms can be, and let me be honest - after I read these symptoms, I was shocked! I learned there is such a thing called - HIDDEN DEPRESSION! During this episode I dive into what Hidden Depression looks like, because I can promise you - we have been hoodwinked when it comes to our perception of depression. Tune in and learn yourself something GOOD!

Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Friends and Kin it’s that time of year again! Time for the kids to go BACK TO SCHOOL!!!! In this episode, I talk about getting ready for back to school. Now be advised, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE FOR EVERYBODY!!! If you don’t have kids, do have kids even if you work with kids - directly or indirectly. It’s for EVERYONE. Because we are ALL affected directly and/or indirectly, whether you are aware of it or not. You are probably wondering - HOW AM I IMPACTED IF I DON’T HAVE ANY KIDS… LISTEN, we are ALL impacted. Think about it…
Traffic - when kids are in school the roads are so congested! Stores - the lines are longer, parents are frustrated with buying school stuff making them very testy and annoyed in stores & stores are always out of things we’d usually have easy access to.
But the TRAFFIC, MAN. SHEESH!
I also polled some educators across the country, about the state of education - TODAY. As in right now. It was such an amazing way to hear from mouths of the people actually out in the trenches. Please listen to this episode. I really enjoyed this episode & I hope you do too!

Hey Friends & Kin! ONE: The supreme court overturned Roe vs. Wade… WHAT THE ENTIRE FUCK. Regardless of whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, let’s get one thing straight. In this country there are so many oxymorons. Emphasis on the MORON part. This means that freedom to have an Abortion is no longer a federal constitutional right. This is disgusting MAINLY because the government should NOT have a say so in what anyone chooses to do with their bodies. Back to LETTING GO, one of the monumental things I learned (yes I learn things doing this podcast!) with this episode is this: Love is all about FREEDOM. The end of love is NOT the end of LIFE – it should be the beginning of an understanding that love sometimes leaves for a reason, but never leaves without a lesson. (I LOVE THAT!) _______ Listen.

FYI Friends & Kin, it's RETRO EPISODE TIME AGAIN! It's the summertime and Sis needs some moments of REST. Taking good care of myself is a priority - gotta "walk it like i talk it"! This episode is so necessary right now, as it hits on the importance of PROTECTING BLACK WOMEN. Breonna Taylor. Britney Griner. The fight is not over. Auntie MeMe's Jam for this episode is, "Come Through and Chill " by Miguel. “You are free to hope - there is more to come. You have been waiting for so long. You have been waiting for answers, longing for closure for the things that shattered your heart. Breathe deep and trust: grace will meet you on the journey toward healing. Grace will meet you on the journey of discovering who it is that you were meant to be in this season. It’s okay if you don’t get it right all the time. It’s okay if you don’t get everyone’s approval. Decide whose wisdom you will listen to and let the other voices disappear into the background.”

| 15 Sep 2022 | No. 47: End of Summer Recap + Coping with Mild (not spicy) Depression + Learning How to Be Still. | 00:59:01 | |
Hey Friends & Kin! This is a very simple conversation about what I’ve been up to since we last were together, earlier this summer. School is now back in session and I am slowly RE-adjusting to that life. During the Summer of '22, my life has seen so many transitions and I am not even mad about it. The world seems to be on fire, at every turn - yet there is still joy to be had. Joy to be experienced. Gratitude to be felt from our crowns to our soles. I also talk about some of the ways I have dealt with a MILD depression – it wasn’t spicy, but MILD. The biggest strategy was to BE STILL. Also, I share a few tips for making it through those tough times… What have my friends + kin been up to? "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..." _______ Listen. Subscribe. Rate.

Hey Friends & Kin! /inˈekwədē/ - noun
In this episode, I have a candid and flat out RAW conversation with one of my oldest friends, Tenisha Austin & her husband, Paul about their experience in dealing with housing inequities. Unfortunately, their story is one of many, however I knew I wanted the world to hear it – firsthand, raw & uncut. This story has gone viral and is showcased nationwide on several news circuits, but this conversation is different. It’s a conversation amongst friends. A conversation wherein we discuss racism, capitalism, oppression, wealth building and so much more - and of course, there were plenty of laughs had – we have been friends for almost 30 years! I hope Tenisha & Paul’s story finds its way to the ears that need to hear it and to those who can benefit from learning what to do if you’re ever in a situation such as the one they encountered. Please stay tuned in to my Instagram page for details around PART TWO of this series.

Hey Friends & Kin! Part two of my conversation around housing inequity. This episode my guest is Bree Jones, the founder of PARITY HOMES, which is an equitable development company proudly headquartered in West Baltimore. The focus of Parity Homes is to acquire and rehabilitate abandoned properties by the block, to create affordable home ownership opportunities. Bree shares with me the how and why around the birth of her organization. We discuss the history and roots of housing inequity, gentrification and flat out oppression around owning property for Black Americans in the United States in addition to a focus on the city of Baltimore.

Hey Friends & Kin! This was a great conversation, it felt like it was with my homegirl. Just two sistas, relaxing and running our mouths about the state of some important black affairs. I learned so much and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to speak with Dr. Paige. Listen in closely to the end of the discussion to find out how to get a discount on the tests this week. This test is the ONLY option for those of us who are interested in knowing where our African ancestors come from. It helps us to re-connect to our lineage, to our ancestral story.

| 01 Aug 2023 | No. 58: The Difference Between Loneliness + Being Alone + Choosing Solitude - It Ain't The Same! | 00:42:49 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
In this episode we have a candid and off the cuff conversation about LONELINESS. I take a deep dive into what happens when you work on healing it by going straight to its core! People don't seem to understand just how serious loneliness can be if we just continue to brush it aside like it's not a big deal. There are so many health risks, and not just our mental and emotional health. Loneliness can adversely affect our physical health just as well. I discuss the difference between LONELINESS and SOLITUDE or BEING ALONE. There is a MAJOR difference and if you aren't aware of what those differences are, well you need to just tune in and get some of this good information. Go get some tea, then come and get the tea!
We Got To Do Better: ”We have to declare ownership of our lives. With conviction & with a force equal to the law of gravity behind it, declare “I AM IN CHARGE OF ME, OF MY THOUGHTS & ACTIONS - AND I HAVE THE POWER TO LIVE MY HEART’S DESIRES.” - Susan L. Taylor "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..." _______ Listen. Subscribe. Rate. Review.

Hey Friends & Kin! We talked about so many interesting things from understanding the identities in the LGBTQ+ community, Kendrick vs. Drake, taking accountability in our current society and so much MORE! We even sing an impromptu song - that I have to say was absolutely PHENOMENAL! I LOVE THESE GUYS & THE DYNAMIC OF OUR RELATIONSHIP IS EXTREMELY GENUINE. So sit back and listen to us discussing so many hot topics all while having a good ol’ time! I opened the show with this quote & wanted to share it again, so that it could be seen with your eyes… “Bless the daughters who sat carrying the trauma of mothers. Who sat asking for more love and not getting any, yet carried themselves to light. Bless the daughters who raised themselves….” - @soulfulvibesco on Instagram GO GRAB YOURSELF SOMETHING TO SIP ON & ENJOY THE SHOW…

| 15 Aug 2023 | No. 60 - Black Women & Incarceration + Been Down, But We UP w/Amber of The Been Down Project. PART TWO. | 01:28:04 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
This is part TWO of my conversation with Amber of THE BEEN DOWN PROJECT! My new play cousin from L.A. in the 90s! If you haven’t already listened to part ONE of this conversation, I highly suggest you do that FIRST. In part two we dive deeper into her time in PRISON (not jail. there’s a difference…) and learn about her new venture BLOOM, the only restaurant in DC that is BLACK OWNED, WOMAN OWNED & QUEER OWNED! I am going to definitely have the Amber & her business partner on the show in the near future to tell us more about BLOOM.
Amber & I got to chat about some serious things, and some fun things. Like me, Amber has lived a HELLUVA LIFE. Very very colorful & she tells us all about them. One of the main focuses of Hand Me My Purse. is to tell the stories of people who don’t get heard often & an educated Black woman serving time in federal prison for a white collar crime is one of those stories. So sit back, relax and enjoy yourself as me and my new cousin, Amber dive into her story. I am excited to share with you!
The Straight Facts segment had a question that was LOADED. It was such an amazing question and was VERY layered, yet beautiful. It was sent in to us from Kay of Milwaukee. Thank you so much for such a great question, Kay! 💕🤓

| 30 Apr 2024 | No. 92 - A Conversation with Death Doula, Alua Arthur about Grief, Death & The Fullness of Life. PART TWO. | 00:59:28 | |
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________
Soooooooooo, this episode is a bit of a doozy. The topic is heavy, but it is so necessary. I had the pleasure of being in conversation with Alua Arthur, a beautiful black woman who is a Death Doula. The title alone, “DEATH DOULA”. That is a heavy title. I had a delightful conversation with Alua about her new book, “briefly perfectly human” which can be purchased here. The book is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING… It caused me to look at my life and really begin to think about how I value the fullness of my life. Do yourself the favor of 1. LISTENING TO PART ONE OF THIS CONVERSATION. 2. LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE (PART TWO). 3. PURCHASING HER BOOK!!!
The conversation was one that brought about an actual physical response for me in REAL TIME. The concept of grief, and in the way we began to discuss it on the show did something to my mind and my spirit. Also, I’m pretty sure my Grandmother made a guest appearance while we were talking…
Take some time and listen to part one of this conversation - No. 91 & then tune into this episode, which is part two! Run don’t walk to wherever you get your podcasts!
