Spill the Tea: Reclaiming My Voice

Sis, it’s time to get real. Join me for Spill the Tea, an interactive series created for us, by us—where we talk openly about sexual health, relationships, and everything in between. No sugarcoating, no shame, just truth, joy, and healing.

This session, I’m bringing the energy of my book Drink Water & Mind Your Business to life. Together, we’ll unpack the BS, reclaim our voices, and step fully into our power. Expect honest conversations, laughter, and a whole lot of liberation.

And because I know community care matters: we’ve got swag bags, raffles, a $25 gift card incentive, and food waiting for you. All you need to bring is yourself and a willingness to grow.

Hey y’all,

I’m so excited to invite you to join me at Urban Reads Bookstore in Baltimore for a special Book Talk & Signing of my book, Drink Water & Mind Your Business!

📅 Date: Sunday, September 14, 2025
🕦 Time: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 Location: Urban Reads Bookstore, 3008 Greenmount Ave, Baltimore, MD 21218

We’re going to have some real conversation about self-esteem, healing, and unlearning all the BS we’ve been taught about ourselves. Of course, I’ll also be signing copies of my book so you can take a little piece of encouragement home with you.

✨ Special Note: For every book you buy, one will be donated to an incarcerated individual. So your purchase doesn’t just empower you—it helps spread knowledge, healing, and self-love to someone else who needs it.

I can’t wait to see your face, hear your thoughts, and share this space with you. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your openness—we’re going to have a good time.

I’m beyond excited to invite you to a powerful in-person event in Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, July 23, 2025 at 6:00 PM at one of my favorite Black-owned bookstores—44th & 3rd Bookseller!

I’ll be in conversation with the brilliant and hilarious Ashley Cobb, and we’re diving deep into my newest book, Drink Water & Mind Your Business: A Black Woman’s Guide to Unlearning the BS and Healing Your Self-Esteem.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “not enough,” wrestled with self-worth, or been burdened by the expectations placed on Black women—you are NOT alone, and this space is for YOU.

We’ll be talking about the ways we’ve internalized toxic messages and how we can begin to reclaim our joy, our bodies, and our self-esteem. This isn’t just a book talk—it’s a healing conversation, a sister circle, and a space for real transformation.

Expect laughter, truth-telling, maybe a little cussing, and a whole lot of love.
