Hi Mofos! 

Last week, I had the chance to sit down with my friend, former Teen Summit host, and former MTV VJ, Ananda Lewis on my new lifestyle show "Soulibration" on the BlackDoctor.org platform. On Tuesday 10/15 CNN dropped an interview where she revealed she was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer last October, and that she was doing much better, BUT the headline made everyone believe it was the end. Without anyone confirming anything aka folks watching the ish for themselves--a media fear frenzy started on social media and the blogs and we knew we had to clear some things up. So she came on the show, on 10/16 with a live audience, answered my questions and theirs and was very transparent. I'm so thankful that Ananda trusted me again with her story, my goal was for her to be heard and I'm so grateful to the media that walked back their headlines and reported the clarifications. 

When Ananda initially announced her breast cancer in 2020 on IG, she came to Check the Rhymes TV the next day with the exclusive. Y'all slept on it, but my channel was pretty new at that time, so I get it.  BUT be clear, SHE HAS BEEN talking about her holistic treatments and the importance of early detection.  Here it is:

Support her rather than attack and dump negative opinions in her comments. She has enough to worry about don't you think? Support her by checking out her course on aging ageslow.co and buy some of the Fear Over Faith merch on  shoploveananda.com

It also tickles me the media called "Soulibration" a radio show..cuz whet? LOL

Be well and be nice!

 Hey Mofos!

"The Irrational" is heading back to NBC on 10/8! Ahead of the season 2 premiere, I had the chance to chat with actress Maahra Hill about what twists and turns lie ahead.

The show follows a world-renowned professor of behavioral science, Alec Mercer (Jesse L. Martin) as he lends his expertise to high stakes cases and mysteries. Maahra stars as Marisa on the show. 

Catch the interview on Check the Rhymes TV!

Let me know if you love this show!

 Hi Mofos!

I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Cheyenne Bryant for BlackDoctor.org. Dr. Bryant went viral for her interview with Cam Newton on his podcast and the energy that he was dishing out was cringe. 

I sat down with her to talk about keeping families together, what to work on while single, and how to maintain healthy relationships. She was great to talk to and dropped so many gems!  Check it out:

Let me know, did any of what she said resonate? It definitely did for me! It had me looking at patterns and how I'm presenting myself in a relationship and if I'm choosing wrong. 

Until later..

Hey Mofos!

If you are into faith based films then this is one you need to RUN to the movie theaters to see on 8/23! "The Forge" is an excellent reminder of the power of prayer.
