Welcome, you’ve made it to season 2!
A Loc Storie is a digital anthology collecting the stories behind growing our locs and the lessons that lie within them. Join me as I have conversations with strangers, friends, and strangers who have become friends to learn about their beautifully honest stories and catch glimpses of my own. Dropping every Monday at 12:01 AM.
I am a fond believer in divine timing. I love a serendipitous moment where all the stars align and what may have felt like a delay was just a bit of re-rerouting, making the end goal even more worth it. For the final episode of Season Two it's a special honor to have my good sis, Nicole, in my home to discuss the transition I have born witness to over the past two years. From talking s**t about IG salons to gassing each others growth, she is the perfect person to reflect on the loc journey with a j in hand. The juxtaposition of us as two queer loc'd women smoking freely while in conversation is an important contrast the more serious subject matter we have also gathered here to discuss: her role in producing one of the first TV interviews with Brittany Griner's wife, Cherelle Griner. I'm grateful to Nicole for sharing and shedding light on the interview as well as allowing me to use this space to continue to elevate this issue. Black women are always going to show up for black women, and I am immensely proud to be apart of the nuanced community who will not stay silent.

ep 26: Dear 'Ugly Stage'...
As a Real Housewives of Atlanta die-hard, I LIVE for a good read. I takes talent to deliver a shady, truth-bearing drag of caliber to my queens Phaedra and Nene. But my new friend Justin, the self-proclaimed King of Reads, has proven worthy. On what should have been my Pride episode, I sit down with the King to detail his experience as a Black Voice on Youtube with over 180k followers, unabashedly wearing his blackness + queerness on his sleeve. Justin's hair colors are about his bold as his opinions as we dig into what it means be unapologetic in his storytelling on the platform, especially as an HIV-positive gay man.
Any conversation where I have to pause to laugh and let the word sink in is a good one, once again grateful to be at all intersections of our community <3.
