Hand Me My Purse.
Black women are made of all things kind, sassy, gorgeous, magical, brilliant, funny and are always very well moisturized. Why not bottle all of that up, pour yourself a glass and sip on it for a little while, twice a month?

Tune in to hear everybody’s favorite Auntie Supreme, MeMe Walker, share her perspectives on everything – even the petty things! She will be dishing on all kinds of things from love, finances, infertility and mental health to how to tell your friend her weave is bad, why wearing shapewear is so important, choosing the proper moisturizer – and just about EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.

If you are old enough to have been in love with New Edition in the early 80s, but young enough to have a playlist on Spotify laden with trap music – then this is absolutely the podcast for you! Even if you can’t identify with either of those things, listen anyway – I am sure you’ll find something you can relate to! Hand Me My Purse is absolutely everything you never knew you needed in a podcast.

Go ahead & subscribe – trust me, you won’t regret it!

No. 50: Gaining an Ancestor + Big on the Self-Love + Being Single Isn’t The End of the World

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

Friends & Kin, what a WHIRLWIND life has been for the past two months. I gained an ancestor & almost lost my mind. I am still in the throws of grief and trying to adjust to this new way of living a somewhat normal life, yet I feel lost in the sauce. And I mean completely LOST IN LE SAUCE! Keep me in your prayers, please.

This episode of Hand Me My Purse is, at its core, about LOVE. The love we have for ourselves. It's about relationships and the true work that must be done to prepare us for entering a space where we are truly ready to be open to a healthy partnership/relationship with someone else - romantically. I talk about the benefit of choosing to be single, as we get ready - IF WE EVEN WANT TO BE READY. SINGLE? COUPLED? The choice is OURS TO MAKE.

The Straight Facts question for this episode is something else, and my response is SOMETHING ELSE TOO! Please, go listen! What would you do in this situation?

For the We Got To Do Better segment in this episode, we have two quotes! They were too connected to not share them both. I explain in the episode. Here they are:

"The greatest lie ever told about love is that it sets you free." -Zadie Smith

"Nobody's as powerful as we make them out to be." -Alice Walker

What have my friends + kin been up to since January?

No. 49: Happy New Year + Compassion Fatigue - WHAT IS IT? + I.S.O. Radical Joy.

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

First of all – HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s been a minute, friends & kin, but I’M BACK BABY!!! Sis was on some ol’ other ish. I was DEEP in the trenches of life, trying to navigate celebrating some really MAJOR things that should be celebrated and deal with heavy grief + just regular ol' LIFE = being ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMED. However, I'm back and working hard to climb out of the muck into the sunshine!

In this episode I am looking at a different way to approach new year’s resolutions and goals and a real serious look at compassion fatigue vs. burnout – they are NOT THE SAME! I share how to identify compassion fatigue as well as some strategies for dealing & healing with the condition. And yes it is a condition. I also discuss why I have decided to focus on RADICAL JOY in 2023. When you are on the brink of being extremely overwhelmed – you gotta go hard in the paint. No light work, just LIGHT WORK… You see what I did there?

The Straight Facts question for this episode is SPICY! And it's from a brother! I love when the fellas ask questions, but this one is rather messy. I was excited to respond. Thanks Jamal from Philly!

We Got To Do Better: “When I dare to be powerful — to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”

No. 48: LIFE be LIFE-ing + Different Types of Self-Care + Self-Care in PRACTICE on a BUDGET.

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

Friends and Kin please forgive me as this episode is coming to you a little late. My sincerest apologies. Life has been absolutely LIFE-ING like a MUGG over here, mayne. I have found myself really having to dig in deep when it comes to self-care and making sure I don’t go over the edge.

This conversation is all about how even though LIFE IS DOING WHAT IT DOES, we still must take the time out to care for ourselves. Time may be limited. Finances may be limited. Energy may be limited. However, it is up to YOU/ME/US to ensure we are taking the best possible care of ourselves in order to show up in the world as OUR BEST VERSION OF OURSELVES.

I dive into the different types of self-care, my current favorite self-care routines ON A BUDGET and one of my favorite accounts to check out as a form of social media self-care. It's all about figuring out what brings you JOY and A SENSE OF PEACE. So listen in and start to process for YOURSELF what you need to do to create a self-care toolkit for you! YOU DESERVE, MY DARLING... YOU DESERVE.

No. 47: End of Summer Recap + Coping with Mild (not spicy) Depression + Learning How to Be Still.

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

Friends and Kin in this episode, we are going to discuss BEING STILL – what does that even mean? I am absolutely going to clarify all of that. We will get into this and also some strategies for doing just that. BEING STILL.

This is a very simple conversation about what I’ve been up to since we last were together, earlier this summer. School is now back in session and I am slowly RE-adjusting to that life. During the Summer of '22, my life has seen so many transitions and I am not even mad about it. The world seems to be on fire, at every turn - yet there is still joy to be had. Joy to be experienced. Gratitude to be felt from our crowns to our soles. I also talk about some of the ways I have dealt with a MILD depression – it wasn’t spicy, but MILD. The biggest strategy was to BE STILL. Also, I share a few tips for making it through those tough times…

RETRO EPISODE - No. 7: Gratitude in Practice + How It Can Change Your Life.

Friends & Kin, Summertime is coming to an end. Taking a much needed break this summer has been exactly what my spirit needed. On September 15th, I will be back with a brand new episode. School has started and I am still trying to nestle back into my work/life balance routine. Taking good care of myself is a priority - gotta "walk it like i talk it"! BE SURE TO LISTEN TO THE STRAIGHT FACTS SEGMENT - I HAVE AN UPDATE FROM THE LAST RETRO EPISODE QUESTION - WHICH WAS EXTREMELY JUICY!

God bless each of you and enjoy this oldie but goodie!
_______________________

Hey Friends & Kin!

Today's episode is all about GRATITUDE & how to put it into practice. Why is it so important? What do I do to express gratitude? How do I benefit from doing so? What's the tea?

grat·i·tude

/ˈɡradəˌt(y)o͞od/
noun
1. the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

This episode I am drinking on Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka & bubly Pineapple Seltzer. This is my FAVORITE SUMMERTIME DRINK... It's so refreshing and light. Yummers.

Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS" by DAMIAN MARLEY & NAS. Our question for Straight Facts is coming to us from "Friendless in Seattle" & it is pretty heavy but a real situation that many of us have had to deal with in friendships. Also we have an update to last week's question us from Ms. LaVeaux of Las Vegas!

Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "What About Your Friends" by TLC. Our question for Straight Facts is A HUM DINGER & comes to us from Ms. LaVeaux of Las Vegas! Hey Girl Hey!

RETRO EPISODE - No. 11: Dating, Love & Lust in the Time of Coronavirus + Protect Meg.

FYI Friends & Kin, it's RETRO EPISODE TIME AGAIN! It's the summertime and Sis needs some moments of REST. Taking good care of myself is a priority - gotta "walk it like i talk it"! This episode is so necessary right now, as it hits on the importance of PROTECTING BLACK WOMEN. Breonna Taylor. Britney Griner. The fight is not over.
PROTECT. BLACK. WOMEN.
God bless each of you and enjoy this oldie but goodie!
________________________________________________________________________________________

Hey Friends & Kin!

This conversation is all about dating during this current global pandemic. What are folks doing? I get some insight from women AND men, from all backgrounds – including those in different types of relationships. I also address the situation w/Meg the Stallion & He Who Shall Not Be Named.

Auntie MeMe's Jam for this episode is, "Come Through and Chill " by Miguel.

The following quote from We Got To Do Better comes from
The Storyteller - an app created by Morgan Harper Nichols

“You are free to hope - there is more to come. You have been waiting for so long. You have been waiting for answers, longing for closure for the things that shattered your heart. Breathe deep and trust: grace will meet you on the journey toward healing. Grace will meet you on the journey of discovering who it is that you were meant to be in this season. It’s okay if you don’t get it right all the time. It’s okay if you don’t get everyone’s approval. Decide whose wisdom you will listen to and let the other voices disappear into the background.”

No. 46: Roe vs. Wade Overturned + R. Kelly Sentenced to 30 Years + The Fine Art of Knowing When to Let Go.

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

Friends and Kin in this episode, we are going to discuss LETTING GO – signs that it’s time to let go and a few things to consider before letting go. However before I get into that discussion I just wanted to mark two moments in history:

ONE: The supreme court overturned Roe vs. Wade… WHAT THE ENTIRE FUCK. Regardless of whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, let’s get one thing straight. In this country there are so many oxymorons. Emphasis on the MORON part. This means that freedom to have an Abortion is no longer a federal constitutional right. This is disgusting MAINLY because the government should NOT have a say so in what anyone chooses to do with their bodies.

TWO: Let’s mark that Mr. Robert Kelly – also known as R. Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in prison. A court in New York sentenced him to FEDERAL racketeering & sex trafficking. Well, well, well… I read an article on CNN about the sentencing which took place on Wednesday, June 29th that was quite interesting. Now don’t get me wrong, I know that there are a lot of folks that still support the R. – I am not one of them. Just so we are clear. Make sure to read the article I linked right HERE. It is an interesting read.

Back to LETTING GO, one of the monumental things I learned (yes I learn things doing this podcast!) with this episode is this: Love is all about FREEDOM. The end of love is NOT the end of LIFE – it should be the beginning of an understanding that love sometimes leaves for a reason, but never leaves without a lesson. (I LOVE THAT!)

No. 45: The Bastardization of Juneteenth + Radical Black Joy + Gratitude Challenge Part TWO.

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

Happy Almost Juneteenth!!! I am so excited about Juneteenth and the Hand Me My Purse Gratitude Challenge starting TODAY! Today being June 15th.

In this episode, friends & kin we are going to hit on a few things.

ONE: JUNETEENTH IS UPON US. And that’s exciting. Or is it? Are black people still excited about JUNETEENTH now that it’s a FEDERAL holiday? I know personally, I am very annoyed at the bastardization of the holiday our ancestors created to celebrate their emancipation from being enslaved.

TWO: I want to take a brief look at the magic that is BLACK JOY. The shit is pure magic. There is a title of a poem that reads, “joy is an act of resistance”. I would add onto that, BLACK JOY IS AN INTENTIONAL RADICAL ACT OF RESISTANCE. For all of the sadness, anger, rage, disappointment, violence, and downright evil we encounter and live through daily... We still find ways to feel and share our joy. And that my friends is FUCKING PHENOMENAL to me. It says so much about our bones.

THREE: It’s time for the HAND ME MY PURSE GRATITUDE CHALLENGE. That is a major win for anyone who participates. It's next level intentional living. I can promise you that your entire life will experience a SHIFT as a result of doing this challenge. Y'all stay doing those ridiculous Tik Tok dance challenges - join in on a challenge that can change your mindset!

No. 44: Focusing on the Present Moment + Gratitude Challenge Part Deux + Considering Buddhism???

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

Friends & Kin… How are y’all doing? No for real. How are y’all FEELING – in this moment? This episode is about just that. THE MOMENT. Staying present. All too often we are so focused on either the past or the future, when what really matters is what is happening RIGHT NOW. OUR Right now is the key to the streets. It is where all the magic happens. However, we overlook all these magical moments because we are stuck in the thick of what already occurred or the possibilities of what COULD occur. Meanwhile… Life is passing us by. Second by second. Minute by minute. Hour by hour. Day by day… Before you know it, it’s been YEARS. Years have passed you by & you look back at what you’ve been doing all that time. NOT FOCUSING ON THE HERE AND NOW.

It’s time again for the Hand Me My Purse GRATITUDE CHALLENGE - PART DEUX! That’s right it’s time to be intentional about being grateful. I said it in January during episode No. 37 – the first gratitude challenge reflection that I would be doing this again… Well it’s about that time. If you aren’t familiar with the HMMP gratitude challenge – it’s quite simple and produces AMAZING results. Don’t believe me – go listen to episode No. 37.

Friends & Kin, in this episode I get to sit in conversation with one of my homegirls. My friend, artist, singer, musician, DJ - RES. If you are a lover of music and you were here for the start of the Neo-Soul/Alternative R&B movement of the early 2000s, (and are at least ALMOST 40 years old) you should be familiar with her debut album, "HOW I DO".

Res and I talk candidly about being a creative, the difference between being an artist signed to a major label versus being an indie artist - the pros and cons. We also discuss what she is up to now and the plans for her upcoming album, "RESet, along with so much more!

You want to make sure you listen to this episode because there is a GIVEAWAY associated with this episode and it will happen QUICK! If you live in the DMV area, Res will be performing at CITY WINERY in DC on Saturday, May 21st. I will be there! The giveaway is for two free tickets to the show. Please make sure to follow me AND Res on Instagram (see below for links) and enter the giveaway! I hope to see you at the show & if you're there, come say, "Heeeeeeey!".

From this episode's, "WE GOT TO DO BETTER" segment:

“I am even more certain that to create dangerously is also to create fearlessly, boldly embracing the public and private terrors that would silence us, then bravely moving forward even when it feels as though we are chasing or being chased by ghosts”
– Edwidge Danticat

RETRO EPISODE - No. 5: How to Cope w/Mother Loss + Be Brave.

FYI Friends & Kin, I am sharing an episode with you again. It is a Flashback to the Episodes of the Past - a retro episode from Season One. This particular episode makes sense for its re-release date of today, as it is MOTHER'S DAY of 2022! This is hands down, STILL, one of my all time favorite episodes of Hand Me My Purse. I hope you enjoy this episode and that it brings your some form of peaceful energy. I pray everyone one of you are at peace on this Mother's Day and I pray your spirit is light. God bless each of you and enjoy this oldie but goodie!
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Hey Friends & Kin!

Well, Mother's Day is upon us. For some it's a great time - for some of us... Not so much! I am having a real ass conversation about Mother Loss. Yes, it's a thing. My therapist, Dr. Demisse, gave me some strategies to share with my friends & kin for this Mother's Day episode. She is pretty awesome & is also a listener and fan of, "Hand Me My Purse."

Mother Loss - the actual or perceived absence of typical mother-child experiences with a maternal figure. For some, but not all, this maternal figure is a specific person.

This episode I am drinking on Jose Cuervo's Coconut Pineapple Ready to Serve Margarita! It's pretty damn DELISH!

Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "Dear Mama" by 2Pac. Our question for Straight Facts is of course loaded with drama & comes to us from Jamie of New Orleans! Hey Jamie!

Make sure you listen to the very end because I announce a giveaway contest that will be happening on the Hand Me My Purse. Instagram page next week!!!


I would love, love, LOVE if you would please submit questions for the
"Straight Facts" segment, as well as photos, stories & quotes of/about your favorite or NOT SO FAVORITE auntie to:
hello@handmemypurse.com - using #STRAIGHTFACTS as the subject line.

No. 42: Comin' From Where I'm From + The Importance of Knowing Your Roots + My Family’s African Ancestry Reveal w/Dr. Gina Paige.

Hey Friends & Kin!

This episode is a special one. Joining me for this episode is Dr. Gina Paige (from episode No. 29), Co-Founder + President of AfricanAncestry.com and my FAMILY!

Over the summer during my family reunion in Las Vegas, I participated in a Facebook Live (linked here) event with African Ancestry and Dr. Paige, wherein my family took a DNA test during our conversation. We ended up doing one test for each of my great grandparents: my great grandmother’s MATERNAL line & my great grandfather’s PATERNAL line. It was amazing and I was so honored to be able to share with the African Ancestry family that experience during our family reunion.

Dr. Paige, not too long ago, came to do an IN-PERSON African Ancestry DNA reveal for my family. It was AMAZING. Such a wonderful time for finding out who, what, how and where we were BEFORE the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Before our ancestors were captured and brought AGAINST THEIR WILL to America – that is what we found out on that very day. I am so excited and proud. I feel like my ancestors are all smiling down on me DAILY and that they are so pleased with me for making sure my family got to experience such a monumental moment. TOGETHER.

As ALWAYS, I am so grateful and so humbled by your support and encouragement. You are a blessing to me. Hand Me My Purse is exactly what it is and will grow to become something FAR BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS - ALL because of your simple, consistent and intentional acts of kindness. I pray God blesses each and every one of you immensely. I appreciate you and love you so much for your support.

No. 41: Hand Me My Purse is TWO YEARS OLD w/Lyndsay + The Slap Seen Around The World + When Is It Okay To Protect Black Women + Hot Topics with Gen. X & Gen. Z

On the 2nd birthaversary (YES BIRTHAVERSARY) of Hand Me My Purse the podcast, I felt it was only fitting to have my very first guest back on the show with me. My little cousin Lyndsay & I are both two years wiser, two years older and so is my show! We talked about everything from the slap seen around the world, to when it will be a good time to protect Black Women, Cory Booker & Ketanji Brown-Jackson, dating, SEX, parenting and so much more. It was a Gen X + a Gen Z party, wherein I learned we actually see things through a similar lens. I am hoping this means the kids will be alright.

The drinks I mentioned in this episode are linked more than once in here in the show notes, but I wanted to mention that it is founded by TWO WOMEN!!!! How amazing is THAT!!!! I will continue to drink
Onda Sparkling Seltzer. #GIRLPOWER

Thank you to everybody who has supported the show by listening, sharing it with your people, posting it on social media, leaving a review or rating the show, sending a kind word of encouragement or simply cheering me on. Your support is the fuel that keeps this engine running.

I am so grateful, and so humbled by your support and encouragement. You are a blessing to me.

I pray God blesses each and every one of you immensely. I appreciate you and love you so much for your support.

Hey Friends & Kin!

Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

I just want to acknowledge that TWO YEARS AGO on March 1st, I RELEASED THE TRAILER FOR MY PODCAST, HAND ME MY PURSE. Today’s episode is pretty damn special. My baby is about to officially turn two. On April 1st of 2020 I LAUNCHED this show, officially. So this is like a soft birthday leading up to Hand Me My Purse’s OFFICIAL BIRTHAVERSARY. I am feeling like a proud Mama. Thank you to everybody who has supported the show by listening, sharing it with your people, posting it on social media, leaving a review or rating the show, sending a kind word of encouragement or simply cheering me on. Y’all have no idea how much of an impact you have made on ME and on this show - this includes the listeners. Your support is the fuel that keeps this engine running. Sometimes when I am having a bad day or I get to feeling burnt out, I read reviews or a text/DM from someone about the show and it literally brightens my entire day.

I am so grateful, and so humbled by your support and encouragement. You are a blessing to me. Hand Me My Purse is exactly what it is and will grow to become something FAR BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS, because of your simple and intentional acts of kindness. I pray God blesses each and every one of you immensely. I appreciate you and I love you so much for your support.

This is a whole conversation with my cousins - about marriage, divorce and the real life situations/circumstances surrounding marriages that end in divorce. It was a real situation!!! My cousins and I discuss marriage from a realistic point of view and spill the tea around divorce, marriage and dating post the end of marriage vows.

No. 39: Valentine's Day is for YOU + Sex & Expectations + Unintentional Emotional Manipulation

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

Happy Black History Month - AGAIN!!! It's the shortest month of the year & also the year that America and some countries around the world choose to celebrate the history of Black people on this planet - particularly in the United States. It's also Valentine's Day time. It has come and gone, but it's hot on our lips and in our brains, podcasts live FOREVAAAAA!

This episode is another fun time with Kandis!!! Remember Kandis from episodes No. 12 and No. 28 - we tend to have an amazingly HILARIOUS time when we are together. So trust me - LISTEN. There were a lot of truth bombs and a-ha moments, as we discussed everything about dating and Valentine's Day - from love, sex buddies, expectations for gifts, BDSM, SELF-LOVE and even UNINTENTIONAL EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION. Not to mention the ACCOUNTABILITY WE NEED TO TAKE IN HOW PEOPLE TREAT US. We talked about so many things that it would be a disservice to yourself and your momma and your future partner to not listen. We even got sidetracked a few times and talked about BBL's, Game of Thrones, Submission vs. Surrender and SO MUCH MORE.

I truly hope you enjoy this episode & thank you for rocking with Hand Me My Purse for the first year of her life. Yes, my podcast is a girl. The future is female & so is my podcast. Now please go leave a review, I love you for it!

Happy Black History Month!!! It's the shortest month of the year & also the year that America and some countries around the world choose to celebrate the history of Black people on this planet - particularly in the United States.

This episode is a CELEBRATION!!! *cue Rick James* I asked some of my friends and kin (that's you guys) to answer a few questions for me about how they felt about blackness - more particularly what do they love about being black. I then asked them to write a love note to Black people. The answers were so beautifully written that I literally felt warm and filled with joy. I shared some of the responses in this episode, because I wanted to kick off Black History Month with ALL LOVE FOR MY PEOPLE.

I truly hope you enjoy this episode & thank you for rocking with Hand Me My Purse for the first year of her life. Yes, my podcast is a girl. The future is female & so is my podcast. Now please go leave a review, I love you for it!

Happy New Year!!! I am so elated to be able to share my time and energy with you again. I have missed my friends and kin! Sis is definitely glad to be back like I never left!

Welcome to 2022 - the year of prosperity. It's going to be a LITUATION, here at Hand Me My Purse, so let's get ready to have an AMAZING YEAR - TOGETHER!

This episode is a conversation with myself and 4 ladies that participated in the very first, Hand Me My Purse gratitude challenge that started in November. We talked about how our lives were affected during and after focusing on gratitude for more than a moment. At first - it was daunting for some of us. Then for some of us it was exciting to start. However, the sweet spot was the reflection. It was the aftershock of being able to focus on being grateful for what we HAVE, for MORE than a moment. Across the board it was life changing, and that makes me so happy. I am forever grateful to these ladies for their participation in my little ol’ challenge, and for their courage to share so much of themselves in this episode. We are blessed beyond measure and CLEARLY we are grateful for it all.

I truly hope you enjoy this episode & thank you for rocking with Hand Me My Purse for the first year of her life. Yes, my podcast is a girl. The future is female & so is my podcast. Now please go leave a review, I love you for it!

So, Friends & Kin, we did it again... ANOTHER SEASON IN THE BOOKS! SEASON TWO IS A WRAP. I am so grateful for Hand Me My Purse & all of the people and energy that has come with it. I am beyond blessed. I love sharing with you and I love and appreciate all my Friends & Kin SO MUCH!!!

In this episode I sit with one my favorite people - my therapist, Dr. Demisse. We sat and spent time chatting about her favorite thing to tell me ALL THE TIME, "DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO & DON'T DO WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO!"... Dr. Demisse takes the time to break down exactly what that looks like in practice. It seems like something that is really really easy, however - LET ME TELL YOU THAT IT IS NOT!!! It is HARD WORK, however the reward is SO WORTH THE WORK...

Have you been participating in the Hand Me My Purse gratitude challenge that started on 11/11? We are going to close out 2021 on a GRATEFUL NOTE. If you didn't start on 11/11, just join us now, START WHERE YOU ARE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. The goal is to create a mindset shift to end 2021 as we prepare to bring in 2022 with INTENTION! Make sure you are following me on Instagram for check-ins.

I truly hope you enjoy this episode & thank you for rocking with Hand Me My Purse for the first year of her life. Yes, my podcast is a girl. The future is female & so is my podcast. Now please go leave a review, I love you for it!!! xoxox

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

In this episode I discuss the importance of recognizing your mindset. I talk a little about going back into the school building in the second wave of a pandemonium. The way educators are impacted by the trauma their students face and how it can show up in their lives. I also address how being open to a "fresh start" can literally shift your thought process and affect your mindset. It's an episode wherein I was very transparent and vulnerable about my life over the last seven days. Shit is real, and sometimes shit is painful. No pun intended. ;o)

I truly hope you enjoy this episode & thank you for rocking with Hand Me My Purse for the first year of her life. Yes, my podcast is a girl. The future is female & so is my podcast. Now please go leave a review, I love you for it!!! xoxox

No. 31: Politics in Baltimore City + The Freddie Gray Uprising + Skewed Perceptions & Healing w/Stephanie Rawlings-Blake

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

In this episode I had a relaxed but extremely informative conversation with former Mayor of Baltimore City, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (better known as SRB) – who just so happens to be my big cousin. We talked & laughed about so many things from how she got into politics to dating metrosexuals and we definitely discussed the Freddie Gray uprising in Baltimore City as well as why she decided to end her political service to Baltimore City. It was a good time. So many laughs, so many, “A HA!” moments, and SRB most definitely cleared up a lot that folks were wondering about. She is definitely political royalty in Baltimore City & if you don’t know why – Google her, and her Daddy!

I am grateful for this conversation with my cousin & I hope you enjoy it as well. Don’t miss out on this episode – it’s DEFINITELY one for the books!

No. 30: MY LIFE + Queen Mother Mary Jane Blige + Healing Childhood Trauma + Bill Cosby is Outside.

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
A conversation about something that I couldn't stop thinking about after watching, "MY LIFE" - the documentary on Queen Mother Mary Jane Blige & her Sophomore album of the same title. I was heavily focused on the way we carry childhood trauma with us for decades, sometimes even when we think we have healed those broken places. A 9 step method to help prepare you for beginning the journey toward HEALING your own childhood trauma. You must do more work than these 9 steps, but it's a great start!

If you have not seen the documentary, it can be found on Amazon Prime and IT IS SO WORTH IT!!! It’s so delightful. It filled me with JOY and sadness and curiosity, anger and of course PRIDE. Queen Mother Mary Jane Blige is the epitome of GRACE. She is ultimately the human personification of the Black Girl Experience in America. As a Black Woman. As a Black Girl. Without even knowing that I connected so much to her story, I knew I was connected to her as a human.

Queen Mother Mary Jane Blige is an INTERNATIONAL TREASURE and we are blessed to have experienced her in our lifetime. GO WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY - A$AP, NO ROCKY!!!

I truly hope you enjoy this episode & thank you for rocking with Hand Me My Purse for the first year of her life. Yes, my podcast is a girl. The future is female & so is my podcast. Now please go leave a review, I love you for it!!! xoxox

No. 29: Juneteenth 2021 + Tracing our African Roots via DNA Genetic Testing w/Dr. Gina Paige of AfricanAncestry, Inc.

Hey Friends & Kin!

For this year’s Juneteenth episode, I got to be in conversation with, my dream guest, Dr. Gina Paige, the Co-Founder and President of African Ancestry. This is a genetic testing service that identifies our African ancestry down to the country and ethnic group. Dr. Paige and I speak candidly about many topics, such as: gentrification, the differences in genetic testing options, the curation of one’s own identity and why AfricanAncestry.com is the ORIGINATOR and leader in genetic technology.

This was a great conversation, it felt like it was with my homegirl. Just two sistas, relaxing and running our mouths about the state of some important black affairs. I learned so much and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to speak with Dr. Paige.

Listen in closely to the end of the discussion to find out how to get a discount on the tests this week. This test is the ONLY option for those of us who are interested in knowing where our African ancestors come from. It helps us to re-connect to our lineage, to our ancestral story.

No. 28: Choosing NOT to Have Kids + Women Proposing to Men + Creating a Safe Space for Black Men w/Kandis

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
This episode is with my friend Kandis, that you may remember from No. 12: The Culture of Dating in The Black Community - PART ONE. We had an amazingly intense conversation between two friends about a myriad of topics, to include but not limited to the social media buzz around women proposing to men, having kids vs. not having kids, Black Men feeling like Black Women are a safe space (or not), interracial dating and healing the father wound - just to name some of what we talked about.

We had a heavy discussion that included so much laughter, because that's what we do! We disagreed on a LOT of things, but this is a great example of how to communicate in a healthy way. You don't have to always agree to respect other people's perspectives and opinions. This was only a small portion of the conversation, as we talked for over three hours. Maybe I will share the rest of the conversation another time so you can hear all of it.

I truly hope you enjoy this episode & thank you for rocking with Hand Me My Purse for the first year of her life. Yes, my podcast is a girl. The future is female & so is my podcast. Now please go leave a review, I love you for it!!! xoxox

No. 27: The Trauma Trifecta + An Unexpected Wellness Break + Recreating the Narrative Around Mother’s Day

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
A very transparent conversation about what happens when you set an intention & it manifests without you fully understanding what is going on. In this episode I will talk about what happened to the May 1st episode of Hand Me My Purse. & why it wasn’t released. I delve into what the energy around Mother’s Day 2021 was like for me and how an intention I set on Mother’s Day of 2020 set the stage for this year’s holiday. I am so happy to be back with my Friends & Kin after my very unplanned mini break. We outchea - I’m back and I’m better. No seriously, I feel so much better.

MeMe’s Jam for this episode is “By Your Side” by Helen Folasade Adu. This song, in my mind, is a love letter - a lovesong to myself. For those times when I am faced with some heavy energy or I just feel like I am struggling to find JOY. This song ALWAYS lifts my spirit to a higher place. Listen to the lyrics & see what I mean.

A conversation about how a 26 year veteran police officer confused her firearm with a taser & murdered an innocent black man, the unfortunate passing of Earl Simmons a.k.a. DMX and the work it takes to identify, acknowledge and accept your true shadow self. I will break down what your shadow self is and how to do what is called “shadow work”. It’s a discussion around authenticity and showing up as you are without being wrapped up in how your true self will be received by the masses.

EQUALITY vs. EQUITY: Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.

Part two of my conversation around housing inequity. This episode my guest is Bree Jones, the founder of PARITY HOMES, which is an equitable development company proudly headquartered in West Baltimore. The focus of Parity Homes is to acquire and rehabilitate abandoned properties by the block, to create affordable home ownership opportunities. Bree shares with me the how and why around the birth of her organization. We discuss the history and roots of housing inequity, gentrification and flat out oppression around owning property for Black Americans in the United States in addition to a focus on the city of Baltimore.

in·eq·ui·ty

/inˈekwədē/ - noun

  • lack of fairness or justice.

In this episode, I have a candid and flat out RAW conversation with one of my oldest friends, Tenisha Austin & her husband, Paul about their experience in dealing with housing inequities. Unfortunately, their story is one of many, however I knew I wanted the world to hear it – firsthand, raw & uncut. This story has gone viral and is showcased nationwide on several news circuits, but this conversation is different. It’s a conversation amongst friends. A conversation wherein we discuss racism, capitalism, oppression, wealth building and so much more - and of course, there were plenty of laughs had – we have been friends for almost 30 years! I hope Tenisha & Paul’s story finds its way to the ears that need to hear it and to those who can benefit from learning what to do if you’re ever in a situation such as the one they encountered. Please stay tuned in to my Instagram page for details around PART TWO of this series. It's gonna be EPIC.

I am super excited to welcome a very special guest back to Hand Me My Purse. Today I am having a conversation with my therapist about LOVE, particularly BLACK LOVE during Black History Month. We also discuss plenty of the things connected to black people joyfully & effectively loving one another. From marriage, dating, sexual freedom vs. sexual repression, Black Girls being stripped of their innocence, parenting, racism and how it has affected Black People’s ability to love, slut shaming and SO MUCH MORE. The conversation got heavy often but of course it was relatable and enlightening.

We also talked about the latest album from Jazmine Sullivan, "HEAUX TALES" - that I am STILL listening to on REPEAT. My therapist actually loved the album and we talk about a few of the tracks on the album and and some points allow the song topics to lead the discussion on Black Love.

This is one of those episodes that you DO NOT want to miss & you DEFINITELY want to listen to the ENTIRE episode.

No. 20: The Aftermath of an Uprising + Storming the Capitol + Activism for Clout w/ Gregory Butler

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE CONTAIN PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
This episode is a conversation about the discrepancies around authentic protesting & its long-term effects on our lives. My guest & I took a deep dive as we discussed so many of our thoughts around race, politics, the former “leader” of America (I use the term LEADER loosely), police brutality, protests, the savages that “stormed the capitol” on January 6th & so much more. My guest, Gregory Butler shares w/us the results of choosing to rebel during civil unrest & what that can look like – LOUD AND IN LIVING COLOR. Gregory is known for his participation in the Freddie Gray Uprising. Learn how he got the name, “Gas Mask Greg”. In this discussion he shares, firsthand the events that led up to the day of the uprising & What took him over the edge? We talk about trauma, loss, anxiety, rage and the desire for liberation. The topic of how we both feel about the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 came up and it may not be met with smiles. Please don’t think the conversation is heavy & not funny – it’s Hand Me My Purse, for goodness sake. We laugh, share vulnerabilities & definitely some very strong opinions. I hope you enjoy this episode, it was pretty dope & I'm honored that Gregory saw fit to share his story with me!

MeMe’s Jam was a special one. Please find it in your heart to support this amazing artist – you will see how you can do just that in her IG bio, which you can find here.

No. 19: SEASON TWO PREMIERE + God Save the Queen (Mary Jane Blige) + Heaux Tales

Hey Friends & Kin!

Let me start off by saying: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE CONTAIN PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________

WELCOME TO SEASON TWO OF HAND ME MY PURSE THE PODCAST...

Today I wanted to just talk about some light and good energy things. Nothing heavy, just talk. I don’t want to boggle anyone down with anything too deep. The damn year just started and Honeychile, about a week or so ago white supremacists were climbing walls, breaking into government buildings & stealing things. They were “STORMING THE CAPITOL” as they so eloquently put it. Nobody has room for a lot of heavy energy - this episode I will just keep it LIGHT like a feather, but still relevant and relatable!

This episode is a conversation about Queen Mother, Mary Jane Blige: her legacy, the gifts she’s given to us. This week she celebrated her 50th birthday & from the looks of it she is living her best life and looking better than EVER. Set goals, not resolutions. Realistic goals with a plan to execute and achieve! I also take a dive into Jazmine Sullivan’s new album, “Heaux Tales”. The album really gives listeners a glimpse into what being a woman looks like when we talk in depth about matters of love, trauma, lust & insecurities. The album is PHENOMENAL & there is something on there that I can imagine EVERY woman can relate to.

BONUS EPISODE: Coronavirus Holiday Drinking w/The Bedroom Bartender + Black Superpowers + Season Two Is Coming.

Hey Friends & Kin!

Let me start off by saying: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE CONTAIN PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
This episode is a quick check in with my FAVORITE bartender & mixologist - Gina of The Bedroom Bartender. It's the HAND ME MY PURSE Holiday Adult Beverage episode. We are in the midst of a pandemic (or as Raegan calls it - A PANINI) & we have to find ways to make sure we can maintain or create traditions. The goal is to not go insane this holiday season. A holiday during this Coronavirus Pandemic so weird & kinda hard to fathom, even thought we are LIVING THROUGH IT - so let's have fun and make the best of it by SIPPING ON SOME JOYFUL ADULT BEVERAGES. It's what we do here at HAND ME MY PURSE - we DRANKS!!!

Gina gives us PLENTY of options for enjoying the holiday and entertaining folks in person (small groups only that you are safe around) & on ZOOM! We had a good time, Gina curated and created a drink and helped me make it. And well, I was tipsy by the time I was done. It was fun. A highlight for my Christmas week! I hope you enjoy & try some of the drinks Gina told us to try. If you do, PLEASE LET ME KNOW via Instagram DM or a post about Holiday drinking that I am sure you will find on Instagram as well.

Happy Holidays from your FAVORITE AUNTIE, MeMe Walker.

Also, I created the music all by myself. I am proud of myself. LOL

No. 18: Season One Finale + Zoom Party Sippin' + CoVid Won't Stop The Celebration.

Hey Friends & Kin!

Let me start off by saying: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE CONTAIN PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
This episode is a celebration of the completion of the INAUGURAL season of Hand Me My Purse the podcast. I was able to be in conversation with some of my avid listeners, via a Friday Night Zoom Party – including some of my cousins, guests of the show this season, and people I’ve never met but that LOVE Hand Me My Purse. The common denominator is that they all love Hand Me My Purse and are regular listeners. We got a chance to really chop it up and dive deep into what Hand Me My Purse was all about in Season One, what they’d love to see in Season Two and we even did the “STRAIGHT FACTS” segment together. It was like those reality show reunions, without the drama and fighting. It was a celebration. We ALL had something to sip on and it was a STRAIGHT UP good time. I talked about the Hand Me My Purse origin story and shared some of my favorite moments of the season. We laughed, we drank all different kinds of beverages, we were merry and my guests got to ask me questions about the process, or really anything they wanted to ask. In this final episode of Season One, I stayed true to the tagline for Hand Me My Purse - it was a conversation with everyone’s favorite auntie… Me!

No. 17: Navigating Unhealthy Relationships + Parenting in The Black Community + Pussy Power w/My Therapist

Hey Friends & Kin!

Let me start out by saying there is a LOT of profanity in this episode. If you don’t think you can handle that – SKIP THIS ONE! But PLEASE, don’t skip it because it is absolutely AMAZING…

This episode is a little lengthy, but I can guarantee it won't feel like it because the conversation flows like water. This is a BEAUTIFULLY RAW CONVERSATION with my actual therapist! Yes, the therapist I talk about almost EVERY single episode. We end up discussing so many things - from navigating unhealthy relationships, Cardi B. & Lil’ Kim’s mental health issues, Pussy Power, WAP (I showed her the music video for the first time), different ways of parenting without violence & I have a breakthrough in the midst of it all. I can promise you that it is worth every single second of your ear time. So, if you want to hear a conversation between a girl and her therapist that is thought provoking and may shift how you process some of your ways of navigating through life
- PRESS PLAY!!!

No. 16: P-Valley & Displaced Oshun Theory + Black Folks & Spirituality + Artists in Hibernation + California Girls United

Hey Friends & Kin!

A very transparent, no holds barred conversation with artist, momma, educator & all around DOPE AF sista – Marcia Jones. We dish about our love for the STARZ television series, P-Valley & it’s spiritual connection to Africa (SPOILER ALERT). Marcia breaks down the concept that she birthed, "Displaced Oshun Theory" - it's good stuff. We also discuss the state of Black TV, toxic mommas , Tyler Perry, Black folks & religion/spirituality (the Holy Ghost, the Orishas & MORE!!!). We talk about SO MANY THINGS!!!

There is a conversation around how and why we both walked away from practicing our art & Marcia shares how she feels about her connection to Africa as a Black American with heavy Native American roots - speaking of Indigenous People’s Day...

We talk about so so so so many things!!! TRUST ME YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO IT ALL. It's an absolutely MANIFICENT conversation. Believe what I'm saying to you.

No. 15: SELF LOVE is the ULTIMATE BLACK LOVE.

Hey Friends & Kin!

A conversation ALL about how we can & should be loving up on ourselves as well as each other – especially during these dark times. I give three simple "soft rules" for how to love on ourselves FIRST; looking at how SELF LOVE is really the ultimate form of BLACK LOVE. I also then took to these internets & got some feedback from my Friends & Kin (aka listeners of the show) about the joys of Black Love. It’s so BEAUTIFUL & so GOOD that I had to share what I found or what YOU shared with me. By the time I’m done, y’all better be smiling and feeling all warm & fuzzy inside!

The following quote for, "We Got To Do Better" comes from
The Storyteller - an app created by Morgan Harper Nichols

“Let any hint of unexpected peace remind you: YOU ARE LOVED. You are seen. And even when it feels like nothing is changing, you are where you need to be. And love will still find you. Yes, love will still find you. For it is not some far off thing. It is running wild within you… Love will still find you, even when it does not seem that way. You are not a burden. You are not too much. You are free to feel and trust: even here, you are worthy of love.”

No. 14: The Culture of Dating in the Black Community: Part THREE w/Aaron of Cane Collective

Hey Friends & Kin!

Let me start off by saying: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE CONTAIN PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
This is the third episode in a series of conversations about the culture of dating in the Black Community. My guest is Aaron, one of the owners/founders/creators of the infamous CANE COLLECTIVE that I speak about on plenty of my episodes. We ate, I drank & we were merry as we sat down to have a conversation that is often approached with apprehension. We discussed relationships between Black Men & Black Women. The conversation flowed smoothly and was nothing but positive and encouraging. It went so well we talked for over two hours - SO, I had to split the discussion into two episodes. This is PART ONE of TWO. Enjoy, as we talk about some serious topics, we LAUGH, disagree as well as find common ground and all from a heart of love for our people.

We ate dinner provided by: Miss Maryland Crab. BE SURE TO CHECK THEM OUT. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS... AND THEY'RE A BLACK OWNED BUSINESS!!!

Hey Friends & Kin!

Let me start off by saying: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE CONTAIN PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
This is the second episode in a series of conversations about the culture of dating in the Black Community. My guest Bianca & I discuss the shifts in dating within our community, as we recognize the MAJOR shift is what Bianca calls “THE NEW MONOGAMY”. We discuss some HOT TOPICS such as: polyamory, dating from a place of emotional ego, the conceptual origins of the “Strong Black Woman” & the “Absentee Black Man” and how all of these things created a shift in the way Black men and women engage with one another.

We laugh, dig down into our soul of wonder and get real REAL about some things that may make some folks uncomfortable. We draw on the notion that in order to heal – we have to get to the nucleus of the issue and the only way TO IT is straight THROUGH IT.

No. 11: Dating, Love & Lust in the Time of Coronavirus + Protect Meg.

Hey Friends & Kin!

A conversation about dating during this current global pandemic. What are folks doing? I get some insight from women AND men, from all backgrounds – including those in different types of relationships. I also address the situation w/Meg the Stallion & He Who Shall Not Be Named.

Auntie MeMe's Jam for this episode is, "Come Through and Chill " by Miguel.

The following quote from We Got To Do Better comes from
The Storyteller - an app created by Morgan Harper Nichols

“You are free to hope - there is more to come. You have been waiting for so long. You have been waiting for answers, longing for closure for the things that shattered your heart. Breathe deep and trust: grace will meet you on the journey toward healing. Grace will meet you on the journey of discovering who it is that you were meant to be in this season. It’s okay if you don’t get it right all the time. It’s okay if you don’t get everyone’s approval. Decide whose wisdom you will listen to and let the other voices disappear into the background.”

Hey Friends & Kin!

This is a conversation all about spiritual healing & holistic wellness. My guest, Camille Adrienne of The Smudged Life gives us the lowdown on ALLLLL things spiritual & all things healing - then backed it up with science. We talked about energy, frequencies, vibrations, God, crystals, sage, meditation, yoga, prayer, Flaming Hot Cheetos and some more! We laughed. She got a little emotional. It was a very colorful conversation with so much amazing information. Also, there is a lovely surprise toward the end of the episode - so listen to it ALL.

Auntie MeMe's jam for this episode is, "She's Strange" by Cameo. Our question for Straight Facts was sent to us by Roscoe of Baton Rouge, LA.

No. 8: Sippin' on Hennessy For My Ancestors + Self-Care for Juneteenth w/The Bedroom Bartender.

Hey Friends & Kin!

Today's episode is our 1st w/a guest interview. Gina, Soul Creator of The Bedroom Bartender joined us for a lovely conversation. We discuss so many things from JUNETEENTH & why it is so important to celebrate our ancestors, supporting black businesses, self-care, Drake mimosas & we also play a new game - "What is Auntie Drinkin'?"

What exactly IS Juneteenth...

"On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, and announced enslaved people were now free. Since then, June 19 has been celebrated as Juneteenth across the nation.The June 19 announcement came more than two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. So technically, from the Union's perspective, the 250,000 enslaved people in Texas were already free—but none of them were aware of it, and no one was in a rush to inform them..."

Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "Juneteenth Jamboree" performed by Gladys "Fatso" Bentley. Our question for Straight Facts is from Stefaney in Jacksonville.

Make sure you visit the Hand Me My Purse. Instagram page on or after Monday - 6|15|2020 to participate in the conversation about the season finale of "INSECURE"...

Hey Friends & Kin!

So this week was pretty awesome in Black Lady Land, even though we had a couple of not so awesome moments. Today we are talking about friendship, sisterhood, Molly & Issa and a whole lot of other dope ish. TUNE IN!!!

Friendship - a close association between two people marked by feelings of care, respect, admiration, concern, or even love.

This episode I am drinking on Green Pu'erh Tea! I have to say it's the best pu'erh I've ever had! Usually pu'erh is YUCKY and too heavy, but this is nice. I'm pleased.

Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "What About Your Friends" by TLC. Our question for Straight Facts is A HUM DINGER & comes to us from Ms. LaVeaux of Las Vegas! Hey Girl Hey!

No. 5: How to Cope w/Mother Loss during Mother's Day Season + A Special Giveaway

Hey Friends & Kin!

Well, Mother's Day is upon us. For some it's a great time - for some of us... Not so much! I am having a real ass conversation about Mother Loss. Yes, it's a thing. My therapist, Dr. Demisse, gave me some strategies to share with my friends & kin for this Mother's Day episode. She is pretty awesome & is also a listener and fan of, "Hand Me My Purse."

Mother Loss - the actual or perceived absence of typical mother-child experiences with a maternal figure. For some, but not all, this maternal figure is a specific person.

This episode I am drinking on Jose Cuervo's Coconut Pineapple Ready to Serve Margarita! It's pretty damn DELISH!

Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "Dear Mama" by 2Pac. Our question for Straight Facts is of course loaded with drama & comes to us from Jamie of New Orleans! Hey Jamie!

Make sure you listen to the very end because I announce a giveaway contest that will be happening on the Hand Me My Purse. Instagram page next week!!!

    No. 2: Coronavirus Be Damned + How to Cope During a Pandemic + Self Care ACTIVATE!

    Welp, here we are. In the middle of a global pandemic! Never in my lifetime did I think I'd live to see something like this. This is a check-in with my friends & kin, about how we are coping in the black community.

    How are you feeling? How are you coping? Are you taking time to focus on your breathing? What self-care rituals have you put in place? If you haven't thought about any of these things, you need to just pull up a chair and listen to this episode - QUICK...

    In this episode we are going to look at a few ways to cope with such a drastic life change and some healthy strategies to incorporate into our everyday life as we navigate through this strange, uncharted territory. Maybe grab a pen & piece of paper to jot some of these ideas down, or put it in the notes via your phone.
