I LOVE THESE GUYS & THE DYNAMIC OF OUR RELATIONSHIP IS EXTREMELY GENUINE. So sit back and listen to us discussing so many hot topics all while having a good ol’ time! I opened the show with this quote & wanted to share it again, so that it could be seen with your eyes… ā€œBless the daughters who sat carrying the trauma of mothers.

Hey Friends & Kin! Ā  FYI:Ā THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT.Ā Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________ Ā  Friends and Kin LET’S START BY SAYING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HAND ME MY PURSE the podcast!!!! My baby is 4 years old on this day - April 1st, 2024. It’s been such an amazingly invigorating journey & I don’t play on stopping any time soon! I am learning so much about SO MUCH. Learning about myself and actively going through my healing journey right before your eyes. Working through grief, gratitude & growth. This show has been the catalyst for so many wonderful experiences.Ā  Ā  I chose to not just do ONE jam for this episode. I decided to do FOUR + a bonus in celebration of HMMP’s birthday! I was on Spring Break & decided to go to Virginia Beach because it was in my budget. I was able to be close to the water, smell some new air, see some new faces, taste some different foods and just GET AWAY… I’ve said many times on the show that my mother’s father is from this area, the Tidewater Region - Newport News to be exact. Missy is as well, she’s from Portsmouth - so you know in my mind, we cousins. Even though I know we aren’t. Anyway, I love her and I feel like people don’t adore her and cherish her genius the way we should. So I decided to do so. Get into my 4 favorite Missy Elliott songs + a lil’ something I bet you’ve never heard before (which I made the actual jam)! I can’t wait for y’all to listen - all the links are down there. ā¬‡ļøā¬‡ļøā¬‡ļø Ā  This episode was really a reflection. A reflection of the past 4 years and the evolution of Hand Me My Purse.
