PODCAST

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!

Shut Up! Podcast ·

2025/06/12

In today’s episode, like the title says, I didn’t think I had anything to say. I’d been sitting with feelings I couldn’t shake—letting them turn into self-pity, into doubt, into quiet. I told myself I didn’t have it in me today. But sometimes the mic catches what you didn’t know was waiting to be said. So I hit record. Quote "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."~Marianne
