In this special Thanksgiving episode, we unbox the complexities of Blackness — exploring the rich and diverse experiences of being Black in America. We dive deep into the ongoing struggles of racial disparity, reflecting on the challenges and triumphs that shape our journey. But this episode isn’t just about acknowledging the weight of history—it’s about recognizing the strength, resilience, and unity within the Black community, and encouraging collective healing, empowerment, and togetherness, reminding each other that our shared experiences are not just a source of pain but a wellspring of power and possibility. Join us for a heartfelt conversation about how we can rise together, support one another, and continue unboxing the layers of our identity with pride, courage, and hope.

Ep. 8 | In Closing — Enclosing.
The word Grateful, alone, does not begin to describe how we are feeling as we conclude the first ever season of Candid Conversations. We are elated and filled with so much emotion as we reflect on all that is and has become of our passion project, this Podcast! To have gained loyal listeners all because we feel our feelings, and express ourselves lets us know that we are on the right side of this life, and we know we couldn’t have gotten this far without them, and each other. As we enclose the podcast with love, attentiveness, and planning to gear up for season 2, we are already eager for what’s in store, and we cannot wait to share more of our journey with our listeners! Until then, we’ll talk soon ❤️

“Good things come to those who wait,” they say. But let’s be honest, how easy is it to wait for anything you want so badly? It isn’t!

Ep. 6 | Disrupting The Pattern.
Generational curses, cycles, or patterns exist, whether we choose to acknowledge them or not. How do we recognize them? When we do, what do we do about it? Surely, we try not to take matters into our own hands alone, for God's grace is greater than any generational curses. Biblically, Ezekiel asks, “But suppose [he] has a son who sees all the sins his father commits, and though he sees them, he does not do such things” (Ez. 18:14). What will happen to the son? “He will not die for his father's sin; he will surely live.” This episode, your hosts go below the surface to discuss cycles they’ve encountered in their lives, and how it’s helped shape them into who they are today.
What was merely an idea years ago, has blossomed into a beautiful conversationalist platform where the experiences shared are candid, and no topic is off limits! As are the day-to-day conversations between the two Co-hosts, Taylor Ashlee & Christian Jacorey, who have been friends since they were 10 years old. After growing up with each other as they’ve entered every phase of life, the two have a plethora of knowledge and wisdom to share, topics to discuss, and opinions to ponder. Get ready to divulge into real topics, with real people, in real life ❤️🔥 The conversation just got better!
