Hold Up, Let Me Call My Sis is what happens when two sisters - LaMia Radiant and T Jamaica Pogue - pick up the phone and let the conversation flow. We grew up in New Jersey, but with LaMia now in Atlanta and T in Philly, most of our catch-ups happen over the phone. And trust us, they last for hours.
Our conversations are funny, raw, and sometimes unexpectedly deep. We bounce between personal stories, pop culture, current events, and random musings about life. And with two distinct but complementary perspectives, things always stay interesting.
This week we dive deep into the intersections of community, creativity, and consciousness. From The Matrix to Divergent, we unpack how pop culture mirrors society’s fear of nonconformity and the systems designed to keep us compliant. We reflect on the state of healthcare, the influence of consumerism, and the growing role of AI in everyday life - challenging ourselves and our listeners to think critically about what it means to be human in an increasingly automated world. We remind y’all that resistance, authenticity, and connection are the keys to surviving a dystopian reality. We're also excited to share a peek into upcoming creative projects and collaborations designed to nurture community and self-expression.

The Mark of Some New Sh!t
Coping ≠ healing. Truth isn’t always universal. And pop culture? It tells on us every time.
Ooooh, we're get into the real work of self-reflection —unpacking identity, judgment, and the thin line between coping and healing. From pop culture to spirituality, science to art, they explore how truth is shaped by personal experience and how community, structure, and awareness can ground us in growth. Plus, the sisters drop an exciting announcement about their new book club, created to spark deeper conversations and connection through literature.

The Real Trickle Down Effect
“The real trickle down effect isn’t about money—it’s about education, creativity, and how society shapes us.”
In this episode of Hold Up, Let Me Call My Sis, LaMia Radiant and T Jamaica Pogue cover it all - from personal updates and health reflections to the bigger picture of creativity, education, and culture. The sisters break down why support systems matter, how goals can help keep life in balance, and why America’s struggle with reading levels is more than just an education issue - it’s a societal one.
They also dive into the intersections of creativity, neurodivergence, and critical thinking, reflecting on what it means to be an artist in a world shaped by technology, misinformation, and shifting cultural norms. From 90s nostalgia to the evolution of comedy, LaMia and T get candid about the bittersweet nature of looking back while navigating the complexities of today.

We Are In the Upside Down
In this episode of Hold Up, Let Me Call My Sis, LaMia Radiant and T Jamaica Pogue explore how personal growth, cultural narratives, and language shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. From the spiritual meaning of cutting hair to the complexities of empathy in violent times, the sisters examine how change - whether personal or societal - can open space for deeper understanding.
They also dig into how history is rebranded to fit current ideologies, why groupthink can be dangerous, and how language influences our collective reality. Along the way, they reflect on cultural appropriation, authenticity in art, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery. This conversation is all about questioning dominant narratives, embracing curiosity, and honoring creativity as a path toward truth.

Miss Big Naturals
This week on Hold Up, Let Me Call My Sis, LaMia Radiant and T Jamaica Pogue kick things off by catching up on life before diving deep into the way society views disability - reflecting on how hard it is to juggle work, family, and everything in between before the conversation shifts into a powerful discussion about disability models:
The medical model, which places blame on the individual
The social model, which recognizes how society disables people by refusing to accommodate differences
Together, LaMia and T explore how accommodations benefit everyone (not just disabled people), why conformity is rewarded over creativity, and how eugenics continues to shape the way we view autism and disability today.
It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s about to be very systemic.
Sound Bites:
“It’s a systemic thing.”
“Curiosity is key.”
“It’s about to be real.”

Everything Leads Back to White Supremacy
In this episode, we break down how everything — from our morning routines to the drama in professional spaces — somehow traces back to white supremacy’s fingerprints. We talk about why structure and routine can be life-changing for personal growth, but also how external barriers (hello, systemic nonsense) make it harder to keep them up.
We get real about the urgent need for safe, affirming spaces for Black women, the power of community in our healing journeys, and how internalized oppression can show up in ways we don’t always clock. Plus, we explore how astrology and spirituality can link with psychology to help us understand ourselves on a deeper level.
It’s part therapy session, part kitchen table talk, and part “ohhhh, now it makes sense.”

Y'all: Give Cheek Kisses to the Child as Requested by T
In this episode, LaMia and T dive into the complexities of asexuality in their "Watcher and Dancer" segment, exploring its spectrum and the misconceptions surrounding it. They discuss how asexuality is often misrepresented in media and the parallels it shares with other underrepresented identities.
Later, in "Hating and Loving", they'll challenge the reputation of European cuisines, particularly French and Italian, as the pinnacle of culinary excellence. The sisters share their thoughts on how these cuisines are often overrated compared to the rich and flavorful offerings from Asian, African, and Caribbean cultures.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that questions societal norms and celebrates diverse perspectives.

What Had Happened Was...
You already know when an episode starts with “what had happened was…” it’s about to get real. In this week’s episode of Hold Up, Let Me Call My Sis, we’re catching up, unpacking some serious global déjà vu, and dragging beauty standards and summer nostalgia all in one sitting.
Catch-Up:
LaMia shares her joy about having her son back home after a summer with his dad—he’s her best buddy, and the house just feels right again.
Meanwhile, T recounts the travel horror story that was her catfish hotel situation in Thessaloniki, Greece. Spoiler: travel clubs and nonrefundable bookings don’t always mix. Lesson learned.
Watcher & Dancer:
We dive deep into the uncomfortable truth that history is repeating itself. T reflects on a powerful conversation she had with a German woman while traveling, comparing today’s America to Germany pre-WWII.
We talk through the overt and insidious signs of rising fascism and the role narcissism plays in shaping dominant culture. This leads us to unpack the ongoing communication breakdown between neurotypicals (often ego-driven, subtext-heavy) and AuDHD folks like us, who are more direct, purpose-driven, and just want everyone to say what they mean.
Hating & Loving:
LaMia gets fired up about the body hair double standard - why are women expected to be hairless, while men can roam free? And who even decided this was the “norm”?
T rants about how nostalgia lied to her—she thought summer was her favorite season, but let’s be honest: autumn has been clearing the table with cozy vibes, perfect layering weather, and mulled wine supremacy.
It’s vulnerable, funny, and a little spicy—just how we like it.
Tune in, call your sis, and let us know: What had happened in your world this week?

Welcome to the Franken-Episode
Okay so... this episode is giving time warp. The intro is fresh and post-birthday-trip for T, but the rest? We stitched it together from our July 4th recording because, well...life.
After two weeks off (because T’s trip to Mexico and Guatemala turned into straight-up chaos), we’re back with a Franken-Episode that blends old and new, and somehow, it works.
In this episode:
We catch up on T’s travel calamities (lost items, emotional rollercoasters, you name it)
LaMia fills us in on what’s been going on in her world lately, including some energetic shifts she’s been sitting with
Watcher & Dancer:
We go deeper into the conversation about ego-driven vs. purpose-driven people—how to spot the difference, what motivates us internally vs. externally, and how that shows up in our lives.
Hating & Loving:
LaMia goes IN on how narcissism has shaped way too many social norms—and not in a good way.
T vents about the struggles of plus-sized fashion: the lack of variety, inconsistent styles, and wild price markups even at size-inclusive stores.
✨ BONUS: There are two YouTube Exclusive videos available for this episode:
1. Our original July 4th catch-up/rant
2. A brand new Hating & Loving clip, featuring LaMia’s surprise hate-to-love moment and T hating on learning lessons the hard way (because OUCH).
Hit play, catch up, and welcome to the beautiful mess that is sisterhood. 💜
