Black History: Seasoned Food

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0400

This episode is a celebration of food! Jo honors the trailblazer Lena Richards, highlighting food, culture, and encouraging listeners to connect communally through food.

Food is creativity.

Food is storytelling.

Food is power.

And when Black women lead in spaces where their voices were once erased, that’s history being rewritten with flavor.

BLICKTY BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

This episode is a celebration, not a lecture. Jo honors Black History Month with joy, humor, and heart, reminding us that Black history isn’t just something we remember, it’s something we live every day. From culture and creativity to community and everyday brilliance, this conversation uplifts the past while celebrating the present.

Because Black history didn’t stop, it evolved.

This episode is sponsored by Black history, fully updated, still evolving, and very much alive.

Winter is Ghetto

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 19:40:33 -0400

Winter is doing the absolute most — the cold, the gray skies, and the sun clocking out before dinner. In this episode, Jo gets dramatic (and honest) about being a summer girl stuck in winter, how the season can feel heavy, and what it really takes to create joy when everything outside feels dreary. Funny, cozy, and real, this is your reminder that even in the coldest season, you can still find warmth, peace, and purpose.

How Community Held Me Last Year

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 15:43:23 -0400

How Community Held Me Together Last Year

Last year wasn’t something Jo navigated alone. In this episode, she reflects on how community showed up in quiet, meaningful ways through friends, family, faith, and creative spaces and how allowing herself to receive support became a form of strength.

A gentle reminder that independence isn’t the same as isolation, and that being held by others can be just as powerful as holding yourself together.
