Cartoon Critique Corner: Penny Proud

Hey! You made it to the last episode of the Cartoon Critique Corner, talking about the memorable Penny Proud. I LOVED watching the Proud Family on Disney Channel because it reflected the different and relatable aspects of the Black family household as well as breaking stereotypes, while at the same time, being entertaining!

A Serious Discussion: The Impacts of Drug Abuse

In this special episode, I talk about and explore the somewhat overlooked topic of drug abuse: how it affects the person with the addiction as well as how it affects the people who are connected to them. By having more discussions and learning more about it, drug addiction can be taken more seriously as we stray away from stereotypes/stigmas. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Cartoon Critique Corner: Dib Membrane

There's always that one character who no one listens to despite their level of knowledge and urgency in their message. His peers call him a crazy conspiracy theorist, but this 12 year old never gave up on unveiling the truth about a certain little alien! Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Book Review - "Parable of the Talents" (Part I)

Welcome to the People Scare Me Podcast's first ever book review! For the last three months, I've had the pleasure of reading "Parable of the Talents", written by Octavia E. Butler. I was so excited to read this novel along with her preceding novel, "Parable of the Sower". This review will be broken up into two parts. So much to cover in so little time! Let's see if I can take on this wonderful challenge. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Cartoon Critique Corner: Chuckie Finster

Sometimes, the most quiet person in the group can be the most powerful. There is no bravery without fear, after all. This episode taps into a certain red-headed toddler who is known for being a highly supportive friend despite his "scaredy-cat" tendencies. Let's talk about it!

Cartoon Critique Corner: Arnold

If you are a fellow 90's baby, OR a millennial in general, you probably remember a certain "football" head who had a heart of gold, and assisted anyone in need within his unique community. So, without further ado, let's get into this nostalgic character critique. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Personal Update/Mental Health

Jibber jabber about self esteem, daily routines, and learning how to let go and move forward from certain things. Thanks for listening. I hope y'all are taking care of yourselves as well.

Cartoon Critique Corner: Garnet

Have you ever looked up to someone who you thought was so cool and confident with themselves? Well, as it turns out, even the strongest heroes have their flaws and shortcomings. However, this particular hero can teach us a thing or two about how to truly thrive in our self-love journey. Stay tuned! Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Cartoon Critique Corner: Eric Cartman

**WARNING: This episode discusses psychological conditions such as personality disorder, and narcissism. Please do not listen if you are sensitive about this particular topic ** This little boy from a Colorado mountain town isn't your typical Dennis the Menace, or Bart Simpson for that matter. He is probably considered the worst animated child in cartoon history! At least in MY book, he is. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Cartoon Critique Corner: Squidward Tentacles

We all have a grumpy Squidward inside of us sometimes; Trust me; if you hate your job, can't stand your neighbors, and think everyone around you are a bunch of morons, you are officially channeling your 'inner Squidward'. So let us begin to flesh out this character tentacle by tentacle. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Cartoon Critique Corner: Lilo Pelekai

Have you ever felt like you were born on the wrong planet? Or maybe that you would never belong anywhere no matter how hard you tried to fit in? Well you are definitely not alone. Today, we explore a very unique, out of this world character; and no, I don't mean Stitch. I'm talking about his Earthly bestie, Lilo! Sometimes, it takes meeting another alien to finally feel like you belong. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

"Shame is for Women" / Original Poem by Rose Cockerham

Now, I know that I can't change how men think. But I can challenge you by asking: How many women in your lifetime have you shamed based on your EXACT SAME behaviors (sexually, socially, professionally, etc.)?

Cartoon Critique Corner: Double-D/Edd

Today, I'm diving into discussing one of my favorite nerdy characters who I grew up watching as an adolescent back in the day. Almost every group dynamic in a show has to have "the smart guy", and that smart guy is Double-D from Ed, Edd, and Eddy! He's also one of my cartoon crushes. Does that sound weird? Maybe. Don't judge me, ok. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Cartoon Critique Corner: Tina Belcher

That Tina is an odd one, isn't she? So many socially awkward moments, so little time. In honor of Dave Creek's passing (Lead Character Designer of "Bob's Burgers"), we are going to explore the many quirks and layers of my spirit-character, Tina Belcher. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Cartoon Critique Corner: Brian Griffin

"Whose leg do I have to hump to get a dry Martini around here?" Yup. You guessed it: Brian Griffin from "Family Guy". For a few reasons, Brian started off as such a likeable character from the first few seasons. Then down the road, he just became more .... well, I'll speak of it more in this episode's character break-down. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Cartoon Critique Corner: Marge Simpson

In this first episode of the Cartoon Critique Corner, we are analyzing Marge Simpson from "The Simpsons" (voiced by Julie Kavner). Marge is well known for depicting the classic American house-wife. However, there are special aspects about her upbringing and development as a character that has proven time and time again that she is much more than what is viewed on the surface. And plus, who can forget about that tall, blue bee-hive hairstyle? Twitter: @Cutieartist92 (Rose)...

S2/Ep. 11: How Do I Speak Up?

If you're also lacking in the "standing up for yourself" department, this is the episode for you! Listen as I give you steps to practice and use for commanding respect and standing up for yourself.

S2/ Ep. 09: Privilege Guilt

What does privilege mean to you? Maybe, without realizing it, you TOO may have been provided certain gifts or opportunities that allowed you to have privilege. Sometimes, it can make you feel guilty receiving those certain privileges when there are others who don't have them. Here's my take on the topic. Tune in and stay safe out there!

S2/Ep. 07: The "C" Word

It's been a while, folks, but I'm back with my thoughts on the "C" word. Of course, we are aware of all of the changes that this pandemic has caused us to make, but I have faith that we will prosper. We just need to stay in doors as much as possible, wash our hands, and (my favorite), social distancing. And stop taking everything off the shelves!

S2/Ep. 06: The Power of Fear

Sometimes, fear can help us avoid danger, but other times, it can paralyze us so much that it deters us from reaching our goals. What are some of your fears? Where do they come from? And how can we conquer our personal fears? Let's dive in to the unknown!

S2/Ep. 05: Songs That Glorify Cheating

I. AM. SICK. of cheating songs! It's sad that we live in an era of culture where something like infidelity is being celebrated; having no empathy or love in your heart is cool; and stealing someone's man/woman is "fun". Why do people cheat anyway? Let's find out while I rant...
