“Don’t Make Me Codeswitch” is a podcast about taking the mask off. Loudly, unapologetically, and with receipts.
It’s where real conversations live. Talks about race, relationships, and the trauma we’re tired of pretending doesn’t shape us.
Part truth-telling, part healing, part side-eye, and all heart.
AYO! welcome back!
this week i start my series on interracial relationships and all the different dynamics that can exist within them. this is a solo episode; i share some points from a conversation with another creative and answer some questions from an instagram poll. you'll get a few laughs, but know i'm always deadass over here. HA!

ep 006: the biweekly clown report
AYO!
WELCOME BACK! it's been a rough couple weeks, as will be discussed, but we are right back at it. every once in a while, i want to provide a little break from the deep, super intense conversations i plan on having here.
that being said, welcome to the biweekly clown report! simply a list of things (clowns + clownery) that have been BOILING MY BLOOD; think of this episode as a Facetime vent sesh, a kiki if you will.
sit down, relax, listen and see if you can find something to relate to.
ENJOY!
