No one has it all figured out in their 20s, so let’s talk about it. 20 Sum Things is my space to explore the highs, the lows, and everything that comes with being a modern-day 20-something. Across 20 episodes, I dive into topics every young adult can relate to: relationships, trauma, self-discovery, and more. Sometimes it’s just me sharing my thoughts; other times, I’m joined by a friend for an open and honest conversation about what it means to navigate life when you're still figuring out who you are. If you're interested in deeper reflections, behind-the-scenes thoughts, and bonus content, feel free to check out the 20 Sum Things blog on Substack at https://substack.com/@twentysumthings.

At some point in your 20s, the idea of having children shifts from something distant to something you actually have to consider. In this episode, Latoya and I tackle one of the biggest questions floating around our gener

Trauma has a way of shaping how we see ourselves and how we move through the world. As we move through our 20s, those patterns become harder to ignore. In this episode, I reflect on what it means to carry difficult exper
Mental health is something we learn to navigate, often without the language to fully express it. In this episode, Imani joins me for a conversation about the stigma that keeps people silent, the myths that make asking fo
