Don't Keep It To Yourself

In this episode, I had the honor of having Arian Smith, my brother and my first best friend, as my conversation partner. We take a trip down memory lane, sharing elementary school stories, his life in the streets, and being married with kids.

Cherise had the honor of having Eric Cobbins as her conversation partner this week. They had a candid discussion about same-sex relationships, mental health, social media, and growing up as a preacher's kid. Eric shared why he wasn't allowed to play monopoly and his appearance on the Arsenio Hall show. Cherise has never had a conversation like this with a pastor, let alone with one on sabbatical.  

"Sometimes people equate blessings to things, and blessings aren't about things."- Eric Cobbins
