We are living in a world where everyone wants to be a BOSS....Boss Babe, Boss Chick, Boss Man even Boss Baby! I honestly believe that we should stress the need for LEADERS instead of Bosses. If everyone is a boss then who is teaching the next generation these skills to grow and prosper? Let's focus on being leaders instead of bosses so that when we die, our legacy lives on! I can’t post this episode without shouting out the MONUMENTAL PEOPLE that helped me understand the difference between being a boss and being a leader: Lornece Tull, Amy Rezendes, Manny Alves and Sabrina Yohai Check me out as I discuss the difference between being a BOSS and being a LEADER.

This episode is dedicated to Mama & Papa Biton. Shou Talks went on a short hiatus last year and I’m finally ready to talk about it. Anyone that knows me, understands how much my parents meant to me. This has been such an impactful journey that I have no choice but to accept the shift God has placed in my life and share it with you.

Those of you that know me understand my INFATUATION with @willsmith so when I found out that HBO Max was hosting Fresh Prince of Bel-air, I immediately created an account and started binge watching. It wasn’t long before I came across an episode that is addressing something still going on today. Season 1 episode 6: Mistaken Identity. In this episode, The Banks are faced with the reality check of Racial Injustice. What stood out to me the most was Carlton’s attempt to justify the racial profiling and injustice.

So I was having a conversation with someone about their “situationship” but because we are all adults I gotta keep it real and call it what it is……STRAIGHT FOOLISHNESS!!! Since when did it become ok to love someone on the low? Why are we, as a society, so ashamed to display the value someone brings into our lives? I definitely need someone to help me understand this concept so please check out what I have to say and message me your thoughts!! Please feel free to check me out on Instagram with your thoughts.

Y’all, that lil old Haitian Lady that lives in my head came out in this one. I literally had a dream and it brought me to today’s topic. Domestic Violence is something that we see so much on reality TV that it is almost normalized BUT did you know that in the U.S., on average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner. Did you know that approximately 1 in 5 female victims and 1 in 20 male victims need medical care. How about that from 2016 through 2018 the number of intimate partner violence victimizations in the United States increased 42%. How often do you see a video of couples fighting and it turns physical? How often do we see couples arguing and it turns physical? How often do you think to “mind your business”? Domestic violence is prevalent in every community, and affects all people regardless of age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. Physical violence is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior as part of a much larger, systematic pattern of dominance and control. If you, or anyone you know, are in crisis, PLEASE contact The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or www.TheHotline.org Source:  Don’t forget to tune in EVERY Wednesday for a new episode of Shou Talks, available on Anchor, Spotify, Google Podcast, Pocket Cast and many more podcasting platforms! #shoutalks #shounanigans #domesticviolence #helpline #marriagebootcamphiphopedition #tahiry #podcast #blackpodcasters #podcastlife #podcastersofinstagram #radiogoals #podcastshow #newpodcast #notyourtypicalpodcaster #spotifypodcast #promo #blackfemalecreatives #blackentrepreneurs #spotify #anchor #pocketcast #googlepodcast #applepodcast #radiopublic #breaker #overcast #youtube --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shoutalks/support

When we hear the term “love language” we instantly think relationships and romance. The five love languages are: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical touch. It’s common to have more than one love language, I have two (y’all know I’m ALWAYS EXTRA): quality time and physical touch. Knowing this has allowed me to LOVE ON ME CORRECTLY. I make sure to cut out Shou Time and enjoy a nice cup of tea every morning. Do you know your love language? How much energy do you put into loving YOURSELF correctly? Let me know in the comments.

Everybody got a BREAKING POINT but why do we allow ourselves to get to that point in order to remove the toxin? We do we feel the need to hold onto toxic relationships?

Listen ya’ll this week’s topic is one I’m still learning to deal with; still learning to understand; but most importantly still battling. Codependency is defined as excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner, typically one who requires support on account of an illness or addiction. I saw it growing up and lived it most of my life. I have been on BOTH ends of a codependent relationship and I can tell you that the battle is never completely over.
