From the Pages of Muse to the Mic: My Conversation on 3 Angry Black People

Every now and then, you get the opportunity to sit down and have a conversation that reminds you why you started your journey in the first place. I recently had the honor of being featured on 3 Angry Black People podcast, titled Episode 159: "Kicking It With Geri Cohen Biddy." It was an incredible experience to share my story, discuss my passion for writing, and talk about the mission behind my work as an independent author.

During the episode, we explored the inspiration behind my debut memoir, Muse: Brown Skin – A Dangerous Kind of Love, and the deeply personal experiences that shaped its pages. Writing Muse wasn't just about telling my story. It was about giving a voice to the emotions so many people carry but rarely talk about. My hope has always been that readers see pieces of themselves within the book and realize they are never alone in their healing journey.

We also discussed the realities of independent publishing. Being an indie author means wearing every hat imaginable. I'm the writer, marketer, event planner, content creator, and business owner all at once. It's not always easy, but every challenge has been worth it because it has allowed me to build a career on my own terms while connecting directly with readers across the country.

One of the moments that stood out during our conversation was when I shared something that has guided me throughout my life:

"Once I put my mind to something, I have to win at it."

That mindset has carried me through every obstacle. Whether it's publishing a book, planning book tours, showing up on TikTok Live, or speaking at events, I've learned that consistency and faith will take you farther than fear ever could.

We also talked about the importance of creating space for authentic Black stories. Our experiences deserve to be told with honesty, vulnerability, and pride. As a Black woman and independent author, I don't take that responsibility lightly. Every book I write is rooted in truth, healing, and hope.

The conversation also gave me the opportunity to share what's next. We discussed my upcoming memoir, Mirage: Healing After the Illusion, which continues the B.A.R.E. series by exploring what happens after the heartbreak ends and the healing truly begins. While Muse tells the story of surviving a love that changed me, Mirage is about rediscovering myself and choosing peace over pain.

I'm incredibly thankful to the hosts of 3 Angry Black People for creating such an authentic space for meaningful conversations. They asked thoughtful questions, challenged me to reflect on my journey, and made the interview feel like a genuine conversation rather than just another podcast appearance.

To everyone who has purchased Muse, attended a book signing, tuned into a TikTok Live, left a review, or simply shared my work with someone else, thank you. Your support continues to make moments like this possible, and I'm grateful for every person who has joined me on this journey.
