Drink Yo' Water & Mind Yo' Business!
Queen Of Transparency Podcast
Your online BFF is back and per usual, giving you insight withthe intent of dropping gems. We all know that the title of this episode is the basis for some really great hashtags, but what about if you actually drink your water and mind your business? So often, we find ourselves critiquing, comparing, and becoming borderline obsessed with the looks, lifestyles, finances, etc. of others that we wind up devaluing and even forgetting about US. Remember that saying about watering your own grass isntead of worrying why others' grass is greener? Baby... that hella green grass could be fake as hell....

Soft Girl Era
Queen Of Transparency Podcast
Being in your "Soft Girl Era" seems to be all the rave right now. Quai doesn't see it as a trend, though, but rather a new and refreshing way of thinking, feeling, and operating as a grown ass woman. In this episode, she discusses the general perception of what it means to be a "soft girl" and suggests that every female journey towards and through this era is different, therefore, it cannot be generalized or concretely defined. Quai discusses how past experiences and traumas can push us into our "hard girl" eras and how we should grow to the point where we free ourselves of that almost...

QOTP True Crime Segment: Makeva Jenkins
Queen Of Transparency Podcast
As you all know, Quai is a HUGE fan of all things true crime. She's always watching shows like Dateline, First 48, 20/20, etc. criminal Justice should have probably been what she majored in, school-wise. With her natural "detective's mind," it was a no brainer to include her obsession into a segment for the podcast. This episode tells the tragic story of Makeva Jenkins. Makeva was a beautiful, talented, motivating inspiring, mother, sister, daughter wife and mother who lost her life suddenly and senselessly. The case initially throws investigators for a loop but...as always, what's done int he...

While it may not be possible to get OVER the situation, there is always potential to get THROUGH it. When your back is against the wall and things seem as though they're irreparable and you're just ready to give up and break and stay down after you've...

You Like To Have Your Cake & Eat It Too?
Queen Of Transparency Podcast
Quai is coming at y'all with another episode based on another emailed request (keep 'em coming!) Side chicks, side dudes, side pieces...these are still a thing?! What happened to "I'd rather leave than to cheat?" You'd think in today's day and age with so much openness and everything so "out there," cheating wouldn't be as common but... maybe it is. Quai gives her insight on her cheating experience (insert gasp here), her unknow stint as a side piece, why fidelity is super important to her along with loyalty and honesty, and a few other topics may relate to and find interesting. You don't...

SINGLE...AND TAKEN...AT THE SAME D@MN TIME?
Queen Of Transparency Podcast
In this episode, an email request and a synonymously unexpected Facebook post has Quai discussing if it's possible to be married or even simply in a relationship and be... or feel as though you're single. So many people look at things literally- including Quai (she takes things almost TOO literal LOL) but this topic in her opinion should be viewed on more of an emotional level. It IS very possible to be in a relationship with someone but feel alone, disconnected or otherwise "single." How do you remedy that? Communication? Actions? A combination of both? Welp...as with most things, your girl...

What Happened to You Doesn't Define You
Queen Of Transparency Podcast
The episode that brought Quai the most anxiety and apprehension is finally here. While none of the episodes are ever scripted, this episode is the truest thus far to that point. Quai details her past experiences with childhood sexual abuse and how it went from tormenting and breaking her to strengthening and building her. The recollection of events still brings her to tears at times, but they're no longer tears of pain. The tears that fall now are all of the tears that the little girl inside of her never got to fully shed. Topics such as these are shied away from taboo, even...but they...
info_outlineOn this episode, Quai discusses honesty. Sometimes people will uphold their honesty and integrity with others but fail to do so with themselves. Why do we deflect and sometimes short-change ourselves? Why can't we be what we are to others, to ourselves first and foremost? Even the most selfless person has the right to be selfish when it pertains to heir physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is impossible to continuously be a beacon and to pour into others when/if you won't start that same practice with...and within...yourself. Quai gives examples of lies she has told herself, in addition to a lie during a relationship that ruined a decades-long bond she once shared with someone. Ultimately our reflection is our biggest teacher and our strongest foundation. "Self-starting" should always be paramount. Start-With-(Your)Self.
