Friends and Kin… 

I’m back baby!!! 

PEEKABOO!!! 

Happy New Year and welcome back into the fray & if you’re new here - I am so happy to have you! So happy and SO DAMN GRATEFUL! 🙏🏾✨

To keep it short and simple this episode is jam packed with what’s been going on with me in the 7 months that I have been absent.  I also discuss all of the shifts the show will see - there are so many changes, I cannot even begin to list them here! So I shall not…

The most exciting change is the new beverage residency concept here at Hand Me My Purse. For the first quarter of the year, we will have a local tea company by the name of  HOLMES HYDRATION - and their tea blends are quite supreme. In this episode I was sipping on a blend focused on, “gut health digestion and inner serenity”… Don’t we all need all three of those handled!!! INDEED. 

Also, I forgot to mention in the episode that you can save 20% off on the Holmes Hydration website (click here) if you use the special code:  HANDMEMYPURSE - WE LOVE A PROMO CODE!!!

Please do yourself a favor and go check them out. Trust me, it’s worth it!!!

Friends and Kin this episode is the SEASON 4 FINALE!!! This is all about SEASON 4! The ups. The downs. The wins. The losses. The energy. The confusion. The experience.  And what an experience it has been! I get into detail about what I have learned. What I will do different going forward vs. what I did. I have quite a few emotional moments as I was overwhelmed with gratitude & filled with JOY. 

I am pretty vulnerable in this episode about my process during Season 4 as I adjusted to life under the iHeartMedia umbrella. Having a solo podcast is not for the faint of heart. It’s a lot of work & a lot of focus. Please take the time to listen to this - I cry a few times! Of course I did! One thing I’m going to do is cry! 🤣  

GO LISTEN! ENJOY! GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK! 

MAKE SURE YOU SUBSCRIBE and/or FOLLOW THE SHOW ON WHATEVER STREAMING SERVICE YOU USE TO LISTEN TO YOUR PODCASTS - SO YOU CAN BE IN THE LOOP WHEN I RETURN FROM THIS LITTLE BREAK! 🤓

I am taking a break between seasons, but I will absolutely be back with more to say! OF COURSE I WILL… Y’all be good until we are together again!!! Stay Tuned! 🤓🧡✌🏾

Friends and Kin this episode is absolutely a win. It is part one of a two part series wherein, I have an amazing conversation with Eboné Almon, the creator and host of The Professional Homegirl Podcast. Eboné is a native of Memphis, and is just an all around sweetheart. We had such a good time talking and laughing and just being PROFESSIONAL HOMEGIRLS! This is the start of an amazing friendship and I’m so excited!

Eboné has coloring books - THAT ARE SO AWESOME, hoodies, beanies, t-shirts & more! You can get them HERE!!! Guess what, there is a PROMO CODE that she has for my friends & kin to save 15% on some merch.  HANDMEMYPURSE the code is live for 15% off of anything on her site.

I CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME OF THOSE COLORING BOOKS! THEY ARE SO COOL! 

The WE GOT TO DO BETTER QUOTE was amazing: “I have known the joy and pain of friendship. I have served and been served. I have made some good enemies for which I am not a bit sorry. I have loved unselfishly, and I have fondled hatred with the red-hot tongs of Hell. That's living.”     - Zora Neale Hurston

Enjoy part two of this conversation and don’t forget…

Hey Friends & Kin!

Today's episode is our 1st w/a guest interview. Gina, Soul Creator of The Bedroom Bartender joined us for a lovely conversation. We discuss so many things from JUNETEENTH & why it is so important to celebrate our ancestors, supporting black businesses, self-care, Drake mimosas & we also play a new game - "What is Auntie Drinkin'?"

What exactly IS Juneteenth...

"On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, and announced enslaved people were now free. Since then, June 19 has been celebrated as Juneteenth across the nation.The June 19 announcement came more than two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. So technically, from the Union's perspective, the 250,000 enslaved people in Texas were already free—but none of them were aware of it, and no one was in a rush to inform them..."

Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "Juneteenth Jamboree" performed by Gladys "Fatso" Bentley. Our question for Straight Facts is from Stefaney in Jacksonville.

Hey Friends & Kin!

Today's episode is all about GRATITUDE & how to put it into practice. Why is it so important? What do I do to express gratitude? How do I benefit from doing so? What's the tea?

grat·i·tude

1.    the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

This episode I am drinking on Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka & bubly Pineapple Seltzer.  This is my FAVORITE SUMMERTIME DRINK... It's so refreshing and light. Yummers.

Hey Friends & Kin!

So this week was pretty awesome in Black Lady Land, even though we had a couple of not so awesome moments. Today we are talking about friendship, sisterhood, Molly & Issa and a whole lot of other dope ish. TUNE IN!!!

Friendship -  a close association between two people marked by feelings of care, respect, admiration, concern, or even love.

This episode I am drinking on Green Pu'erh Tea! I have to say it's the best pu'erh I've ever had! Usually pu'erh is YUCKY and too heavy, but this is nice. I'm pleased. 

Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "What About Your Friends" by TLC. Our question for Straight Facts is A HUM DINGER & comes to us from Ms. LaVeaux of Las Vegas! Hey Girl Hey!

Hey Friends & Kin!

Well, Mother's Day is upon us. For some it's a great time - for some of us... Not so much! I am having a real ass conversation about Mother Loss. Yes, it's a thing. My therapist, Dr. Demisse, gave me some strategies to share with my friends & kin for this Mother's Day episode. She is pretty awesome & is also a listener and fan of, "Hand Me My Purse."

Mother Loss - the actual or perceived absence of typical mother-child experiences with a maternal figure. For some, but not all, this maternal figure is a specific person.

This episode I am drinking on Jose Cuervo's Coconut Pineapple Ready to Serve Margarita! It's pretty damn DELISH!

Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "Dear Mama" by 2Pac. Our question for Straight Facts is of course loaded with drama & comes to us from Jamie of New Orleans! Hey Jamie!

Make sure you listen to the very end because I announce a giveaway contest that will be happening on the Hand Me My Purse. Instagram page next week!!!

Hey Friends & Kin!

In this episode I am discussing two beauty products that are staples in a black household. Vaseline vs. Shea Butter. I will address whether one is better than the other & how they are similar.  I'll also share some information and tips on how to maximize both of their effects.

This episode I am drinking on Canada Dry's new BOLD GINGER ALE! It's pretty darn spicy and delicious - EXTREMELY GINGERY... Is that a word?

Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "Shining Star" by Earth, Wind & Fire. Our question for Straight Facts is a good one, that I am sure everybody can relate to - one sided friendships.

Welp, here we are. In the middle of a global pandemic! Never in my lifetime did I think I'd live to see something like this. This is a check-in with my friends & kin, about how we are coping in the black community.

How are you feeling? How are you coping? Are you taking time to focus on your breathing? What self-care rituals have you put in place?  If you haven't thought about any of these things, you need to just pull up a chair and listen to this episode - QUICK... 

In this episode we are going to look at a few ways to cope with such a drastic life change and some healthy strategies to incorporate into our everyday life as we navigate through this strange, uncharted territory.  Maybe grab a pen & piece of paper to jot some of these ideas down, or put it in the notes via your phone.

Thank you for your support... (a*la 80s Bartles and Jaymes commercials LOL)
