Shut Up! Podcast
This is a safe space for my thoughts—Black, unfiltered, unapologetic. A Black Canadian voice from Ottawa (Red Black) shaped by the Red, the Black, and the Green and the Red Blue (Rouge et Bleu). I don’t know exactly where this podcast is headed, but that’s the point. Like me, this podcast is a work in progress. It grows, shifts, and evolves as I do. Maybe it becomes a community, maybe it stays just me and this one mic. Either way, I’m here, and I’ve got something to say—so Shut Up!

332: Do You Love Me?
EIn this episode, I clarify a point I made about Christianity in the previous episode. I talk about how much I’m enjoying season 2 of Paradise, being feenin’ for more books like the Red Rising series, and re-reading Revolutionary Suicide, which has me thinking about how people get radicalized. I also get into the reality of promoting a podcast and why I struggle with it. And finally, I reflect on whether or not I love my podcast.

331: The Meaning of Easter to an Ex-Christian
EIn this episode, I walk back a take from last time about a recent purchase, revisit my thoughts on people who aren’t into politics after a Joshua Doss video made me realize I actually had a point, share a quick story about resisting obvious solutions, and talk about why a simple "Happy Easter" made me feel the need to reaffirm where I stand today.
