This podcast follows a black father and daughter and their relationship while navigating life. Giving advice, telling stories and keeping each other up to date with news, trends and overall staying “woke” together. Join us on our funny journey where all we can say is “Fricken Dad!”
At some point every dad has to figure out where he fits when his daughter doesn't need him the same way anymore.
In this episode, Bella and her dad get into one of the more vulnerable conversations they've had — what happened to their relationship when Bella started navigating her first serious adult relationship. Dad gets honest about the shift he felt, what it was like to watch from the sidelines, and the moment he realized their dynamic had changed for good. Bella shares what she was actually going through — the emotional weight of a first real relationship, the expectations she carried in, and what love and communication look like when you're finally old enough to know better but still figuring it out. They also get into cultural differences in relationships, how gender roles and marriage expectations can quietly create tension, and why your friend group matters more than people think when you're in love.
This one got personal fast.
The question on the table: when a daughter grows up and steps into her own love life, what's a dad supposed to do with that — and does she even want his opinion?
If you've ever been in a relationship that made you grow up faster than you expected, or if you're a parent watching your kid figure out love for the first time — this one is for you.

ep 18: how he raised me
Most parents will tell you they did their best. Not every parent will sit down with their kid and actually talk about it.
In this episode, Bella and her dad get into something more personal than usual — their actual relationship with each other. Dad gets honest about how he approached raising Bella, the decisions he made, and what he was thinking during some of the moments that shaped who she is today. Bella brings her side of it — what she remembers, what she didn't understand at the time, and what makes more sense now that she's an adult looking back. They also get into the impact of divorce on kids, what it looks like when a parent is your role model, and why open communication between a parent and child changes everything.
This one isn't advice. It's a real conversation between two people who lived the same story from different angles.
The question on the table: did your parents know what they were doing the whole time — or were they figuring it out just as much as you were?
If you grew up with a parent who was present but also human, or if you're still working through what your childhood actually meant — this episode will hit close to home.

ep 17: fake friends season
Not everyone who's been around is really for you — and sometimes it takes getting older to finally see the difference.
In this episode, Bella and her dad get into all things friendship — the real ones, the fake ones, and the ones that fall somewhere uncomfortably in between. They share personal stories about navigating adult friendships, dealing with the drama that nobody warns you about, and figuring out who actually belongs in your circle as you grow. From the role your peer group plays in your personal growth, to how money and romantic feelings can quietly destroy even the closest friendships — this one goes there.
They also get into the male-female friendship dynamic, why boundaries matter more than most people admit, and what it actually looks like to outgrow someone without making it a whole situation.
The debate: can men and women really just be friends — and what happens when external pressure, money, or feelings get involved?
If you've ever had to quietly audit your circle, question someone's loyalty, or wonder if a friendship was ever really real — this episode is for you.
