Welcome to Behind the Mic—a podcast where a Gen Z Black woman living her best "hot girl" life shares unfiltered thoughts on everything from my 9-5 to side gigs. No kids, no man—just me, my mic, my cat with a whole lot of ambition.
Every episode, I dive into the grind: the wins, the fails, and the random new things I try along the way. Whether I’m unpacking what it means to live authentically, or chasing joy on a budget, this is a solo journey through life, love, work, and whatever’s next—with laughs, lessons, and maybe a few unpopular opinions.
Life’s too short not to speak your truth
Thank you God, a new page has turned!
Happy 26th birthday to meeeeeee 💕
