As we reflect on 2022 and enter 2023, the word that has been coming in my head a lot is Success- my relationship with it, where I stand on the highs and lows of it and what I will do with it in the next chapter (especially since in the last year feeling a bit down and like a failure almost).

From romance & tenderness to skincare routines-- this is definitely a special one. Warm up your cuppas and let me know you're sipping as you listen to this episode. I hope you enjoy part 1 of 2 with filmmaker, writer, actor & model Justice Jamal Jones.
