Drinkventing

As the ball drops on 2021, I'm thinking about all that 2020 has added to my life. I'm lucky, I know, because it took away a lot from so many. So I count my blessings even as I count the seconds to the new year, bubbly in hand and my girl at my side.

Y'all the last half of 2020 took a serious toll on my energy! But finishing this episode (recorded back in August) was truly ex-hausting. Nothing like coming face-to-face with your weaknesses in an annoyingly attractive package to remind you just how much "self" work you have left to do.

• DRINK: Peet's Coffee
• VENT: He's just not my taste

In part 2 of my vent about Being Black in America, I'm going to tell you a story. About a new drinking buddy, the daily toll of single parenting while Black, something called allostasis, and the most magical of American pies.

Black single parent? I see you. In the first of a 2-part episode, I'm enjoying a drink with deep, Black roots and sharing my point-of-view from the cubicles, conference rooms and Zoom calls of the marketing agency world. Where DEI is trending but is any real work being done? Where those who've been "hustling in place" for years are still asking: will I ever get ahead?

• DRINK: Hibiscus Punch
• VENT: Black in corporate America

Recorded three months ago (before America exploded), this episode features my very first interview! We'll share her favorite drink and our wildly different fantasies...about living under rocks, fairies, traipsing through jungles and the future. There's lots of giggling, ad libbing, burping. I mean...what else would you expect when your guest is nine years old?

• Drink: Orange Fanta
• Vent: You never know what a kid will say
