Table for Us is more than a podcast — it’s a safe space, a sister circle, and a bold conversation where Black women and people of color can speak truth without apology.
Every week, host Nicolette Royal brings real, raw, and necessary conversations to the table — from motherhood, mental health, and relationships to entrepreneurship, legacy building, and the pressure to “do it all.”
This is where we pour into each other, amplify our stories, and build community one episode at a time.
Pull up a chair — because truth be told, this is our table… and it’s time we talk.
Broken Promises & Missing Love: The Real Impact of Absent Parents
Some wounds don’t come from strangers… they come from the people who were supposed to love us the most.
In this deeply personal and unfiltered episode of Table for Us, we’re talking about the real impact of absent parents — the broken promises, the emotional gaps, and the silent struggles that follow us into adulthood.
This isn’t just about who wasn’t there…It’s about how that absence shapes your relationships, your confidence, your parenting, and your healing journey.
We’re unpacking:• The emotional weight of broken promises• Growing up without consistent love or support• How abandonment shows up in adult relationships• Healing, accountability, and breaking generational cycles
This conversation is raw, relatable, and necessary. If you’ve ever questioned your worth because of who didn’t show up for you… this episode is your reminder that your story doesn’t end there.
💬 Sis, How You Doing Really?Take a moment to reflect — what did you need growing up that you didn’t receive?

Depression Doesn’t Always Look Like Tears
In this deeply personal episode of Table for Us, I open up about depression — what it looks like, what it doesn’t look like, and how it has shown up in my own life.
From postpartum depression to grief after losing my grandmother and father… from heartbreak to isolation… from throwing myself into work to masking pain with strength — I share how depression isn’t always obvious. It doesn’t always look like tears. Sometimes it looks like anger. Sometimes it looks like isolation. Sometimes it looks like being “the strong one.”
We also talk about:
Depression in the Black community
Grief and survivor’s remorse
Generational mental health patterns
Therapy and why it matters
Faith and leaning on God when life feels unbearable
If you’ve ever felt like you had to hold it together for everyone else… this episode is for you.

Playing Chess While the World Wants Us to React
This week on Table for Us, we’re having a real conversation.
It’s the first full week of Black History Month, and instead of sticking to my originally planned topic, I felt led to address something that’s been circulating online — and more importantly, how we respond to it.
We’re talking about open racism, mental slavery versus physical slavery, and why protecting your mindset is more powerful than reacting emotionally. I share my perspective as a Black woman navigating corporate spaces, faith, entrepreneurship, and the realities of this world — without losing my joy.
This episode is about:
Why Black History Month still matters
Playing chess instead of checkers
Faith over fury
Generational strategy and ownership
Using your tax refund as a tool, not a toy
Protecting your peace in a world that tries to provoke you
Weapons may form — but they will not prosper.
