Remember the time you had to spell your name out over the phone, and somehow, it still got butchered on the coffee cup? Well, Maya shares a laugh on just that while we swim through the Valentine's Day currents, discussing Ralph Tresvant's "Sensitivity" and pondering the true targets of such serenades. And folks, we've all been there—dreaming of jobs that don't feel like work. Come along as we, Keonte and my partner-in-thought Maya, celebrate the little victories of self-care and chuckle over whether looking sharp really does up your game, or if it's all about what you bring to the performance.

Buckle up as we navigate the crossroads of life decisions, reminiscing on the weight of college choices with a dash of personal anecdotes—like my own plunge into a private college's deep-end, maybe a bit too hastily. We dissect the butterfly effect of such pivotal choices, revealing how they can lead to meeting some of the most instrumental people in our lives. Also on the agenda: a candid discussion of childhood, the power of accountability, and how our early years can set the stage for the adults we become.

Corey Holcombe drops in to stir the pot on parenting, sharing his heartfelt narrative on the tumultuous waves of father-daughter relationships. Meanwhile, we turn the spotlight on the intricate tapestry of the Black experience, dismissing the idea of a single story for something much richer. And for those with an ear to the ground in music, our new "Sign or Decline" segment offers hot takes on the promising vibes of artists like Mona Leo and the future of genres like Afro beats. Get ready for a session packed with introspection, belly laughs, and no-holds-barred conversations!
