We've been hearing that Gen Z is shifting more conservative—embracing traditional gender roles, "red pill" ideology, and the rise of the trad wife. But watching season 8 of Love Island has brought those conversations to life in a way that's hard to ignore. This episode, I'm breaking down the surprisingly traditional views on dating, relationships, and gender that have played out in the villa what…
This episode is a little bit of everything. I'm fresh off a cruise with a reminder that rest is not a reward, it's a requirement! Then we're heading o the kickball field. Yes, kickball. What started as a random hobby has become an unexpected source of community, joy, and growth—and a reminder that adulthood needs play, too. And because this is Geneva Says , we're also getting political. I'm…
They’re not hiding it anymore. This week on Geneva Says, Jamarr Brown joins me for a blunt conversation about the Supreme Court’s Callais decision, the dismantling of voting rights, and the very public effort to eliminate Black political power in America. We talk about the anger so many people are feeling right now, the limits of performative outrage, and why this political moment feels different.…
Sometimes the hardest thing you can do is admit your life no longer fits you. This week on Geneva Says, I’m joined by my very first guest, Misha Battiste — political strategist, life & leadership coach, and someone who deeply understands burnout, reinvention, and what it means to choose yourself even when it feels risky. We get into burnout, identity, self-worth, transitions and so much more - a…
Today’s episode is a little different… no segments, just what’s been on my mind. Being a Black woman in a world where women are under attack. From stories like Dr. Cerina Fairfax to everyday experiences, the pattern is clear. And the way people defend it? Even clearer. I’m grateful for examples that show something different. KevOnStage and Victor Glover showing what it looks like to love and…
From the manosphere content machine that’s building audiences (and bank accounts) off outrage, to lawsuits exposing how platforms like YouTube and Meta design for addiction, to even tools like ChatGPT that can quietly nudge us to stay engaged longer… there is a constant, calculated fight for our time. And let’s be real, I’m in it too. I want your attention. I want you to listen, to watch, to come…
Is the Target boycott over or nah? Did it "work"? What did we get in return? Where did we spend our money instead, and was that company any better? In this episode, I’m unpacking what it would mean to move from symbolic boycotts to strategic ones… the kind that don’t just send a message, but force change. Creating that kind of pressure might require a level of inconvenience most of us, myself…
What happens when the media we grew up trusting starts breaking down? In this episode, I reflect on what’s happening across media, from the Paramount-Discovery saga to uncertainty at CBS, CNN, TikTok and more. Shrinking newsrooms and billionaire ownership are reshaping what information reaches the public. More than ever, it’s on all of us to verify what we’re hearing, question headlines, and…
Geneva Says is back — and stepping into a new chapter!
