Real Talk: You aren’t alone if you feel like you are JUST getting out of an abusive relationship with President Trump. For Dr. Venus, she had mixed emotions. Relief, joy, and fear of Trump's retaliation moved through her with the declaration that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were the President and Vice President-elect. She cried and prayed the whole day after the big announcement. If you had this reaction as well, it’s because the tension and quiet panic we’ve been feeling for the last four years...

This week, Dr. Venus breaks down what a lie is, why we lie so often, and how it kills our spiritual and financial flow when we turn away from the truth. S...

As a Supreme Court justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg successfully and tenaciously fought against gender discrimination, and towards equality and justice for women.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought for many of the rights we as Black Women consider ”our right,” but there was a time where you could not buy a car without y...

President Obama, Halle Berry, & Tiger Woods are mixed race, yet we have cheered them on and celebrated their wins at almost every turn.

White Supremacy is more than an ideology. It's a cult. A disease.

In this episode, Dr. Venus breaks down the logic of White Supremacy through the lens of “perceived violence” vs “proven violence.” She discusses why whites always seem to steal from cultures and take everything except for the pai...
