It’s been an interesting time...how have you been spending it?

My cat committed a crime and then disappeared. If anyone has any information, please contact me.

Y’all know what this is about. Hopefully we all learn to take a deep look at ourselves at the macro and micro levels. *I mentioned wanting to burn things down when I was younger and now becoming older and conserving my energy...I stand by that, but don't get it twisted, I am with these protestors.

I got a new camera and the ancestors have moved me to give my old school an angry-articulate read. There's a real problem with racism in the classical music sphere and we need to stop acting like it doesn't exist and start calling it what it is. Opera is racist. Again, I'm not shocked by all this, but I am Rupauled...

This is a series I plan on continuing on my channel where I ask people some of life's big questions! Inspired by one of my favorite podcasts Radio Lab, I decided to ask a few people what advice they'd give to a new generation of human beings if ours was to be completely wiped out.

Listening to yourself is hard, but it's not impossible! Trust your instincts and what you have to offer...or don't...I'm just a girl talking into a camera...

I fluctuate between craving deep meaningful relationships and craving some Flamin' Hot Cheetos...oh well! Fear, control, and self-sabotage do nothing but prevent any of us from forming meaningful relationships. I hope this advice helps someone out there. Y'all don't need dating tips from me, but I'm giving them anyways! As always, please remember that I'm just a girl talking into her camera...

I react to Will and Jada's Red Table Talk addressing all the rumours regarding August Alsina. (Whose name I did not pronounce correctly because in all honesty y'all...I didn't really know who he was until today...

This week I show y'all how to build a capsule wardrobe and shop with intention! Featuring items from Aritzia, Urban Outfitters, Zara, Fashion Nova, and some old items from my closet. Treat yourselves y'all...it's been a rough year...

2020's been a lot, allow me to step in as your play cousin/play bestfriend and just gas you up! We all deserve.

So this is a series of videos I plan on doing once a month where I take you through my skin care routine and tackle a subject related to the "times". This video essay on colorism was a lot of fun to make! I discovered lots of new information so I hope it is informative, fun, and an all around good time!

This week I talk about the necessity for all of us to deal with our issues (trauma) so we stop putting our problems on those around us.

My friend Dennis (@pockypapi) pulls three questions out of a beret and we just get to chatting! We're talking about living in a big-small city like Toronto, finding our own communities, healthy breakups/learning from past relationships, the glory days of Tumblr, and what it would've been like to be in our 20's during the disco era...and the early 2000's...and the future.

At this point in my life the priority is about learning about myself. What brings me joy, what makes me curious, what excites me, pushing me, and most importantly, what gives me peace of mind. People make it seem like you have to stay doing the same thing even when it no longer suits you and I do not believe in that. I’m grown, I pay my taxes and I moisturize my skin. I’m allowed to change my mind. Learning about opera has been an incredible journey and I’m not done singing, but I’m working on some different things and trying to be in charge of my own artistry. So that means leaving some things behind...

Welcome to another addition of Self care Sunday, this time we’re doing a video essay on cancel culture.

This week I'm talking about the annoyances of starting a new Youtube channel in 2020, wanting to leave a "stable" job to pursue your passions, comparing yourself/subscriber count/everything to everyone else, and our love of aesthetics...

Back with another Into the Beret and this time Chelsea (@chelseamezzo) and I are talking about our self-care morning routines, all the peircings we've had, how many best friends a person can actually maintain, how old we feel cause of #trauma and of course a bit of self-awareness.

Hello and welcome to another video! This one is on the evolution of the Karen phenomenon. We're talking about how it's evolved from Miss Ann to Becky to Karen we all know and...know today!

Do you enjoy hanging out with cool and interesting people, but love staying at home talking to no one? Are you a charmer with a pension for deep thoughts? Do you prefer seeing how you feel that day of a hang out just to give the option of backing out last minute if you already spoken to too many people that day?

Welcome back to another edition of Into the Beret! This time I'm asking my dear friend, the Persian princess herself, Sara (@sarijoon_) about her greatest fear, being the child of an immigrant, and of course how many languages she speaks.

This week I talk about how I watched #savethelastdance as a grown person and why I'll probably never watch it again...

The Kardashians ain't it for me y'all...

Welcome back to another video! This week I’m talking about the curious case of Instagram face and why some of your favourite influencers look so similar…

Welcome to a random Thursday video! This week I’m talking about the woes of student loan debt.

Welcome back to another video! This week I’m talking about Pretty Privilege

Welcome back to another video! This week I’m talking about Pretty Privilege…the afterthoughts. Mostly about the definition of beauty that centers whiteness and Eurocentric beauty standards but what else is new? No video next week, gonna spend more time getting my research/general thoughts together and will see y’all on Friday the 13th!!

Hello and welcome to another video, this one is for the boys. We’re talking toxic masculinity but more broadly, patriarchy. The difference between political and psychological patriarchy, the factors that contribute to our patriarchal socialization and some empathy towards men.

Hello and welcome to another video, this one is on Digital Blackface or at least trying to understand what is.. I’m giving y’all some history (American AND Canadian), some extra context, and talking about how this phenomenon turns black people…into things. (Even though we're all things cause #capitalism.) Thanks for watching, subscribing, and sharing my videos!

Hello and welcome to another video, this one is about TV’s new (maybe not new but still) TV’s political agenda. At least as it relates to one of MY favourite shows, Grey’s Anatomy.
