  • The Deal with Daddy Issues and Dating
    2023/05/09

    The term “daddy issues" is used as a way to describe women's attachment issues in a relationship... but the connotation is oftentimes negative.

    On this week's episode of "The Red Room," Brianna is joined by her friend and former student, Dajah, to discuss their dynamics with their own fathers and how these dysfunctional relationships have impacted their lives — both for the good and for the bad.

  • The Heart Aching and Breaking of a Friendship Breakup
    2023/05/02

    Let's face it: dealing with a breakup sucks.

    It's not easy grieving the loss of someone you once considered your life partner. And while that person is still physically here, you have to recognize that this person is no longer physically in your life.

    It's this odd dichotomy that you have to just accept... and hope to one day heal and move on from.

    But what no one really talks about is the same pain that you experience when you go through a friendship breakup and that utterly depleting feeling of losing your platonic life partner.

    Your confidant.

    Your right-hand.

    Your everything.

    On this week's episode of "The Red Room," Brianna invites her high school best friend, Kristen, onto the show to dissect the dynamics of their friendship breakup that spanned the course of several years. Together, the two friends explore areas of accountability, faulty communication and warped egos that led to the initial breakup and further discuss how they've now learned to come back together years later and reignite their friendship.

  • May the (Gambling) Odds be Ever in Your Favor
    2023/03/21

    The thrill. The dopamine. The rush when you hit big as a gambler.

    It all seems exhilarating, right?

    I guess you could say that. Until it becomes problematic… and until you lose it all—and then some.

    On this week’s episode of “The Red Room,” Brianna chats with one of her long-time friends, Nick, who opens up (for the very first time on a public platform) about his severe sports betting addiction. Nick discusses the signs and behaviors that he exhibited while in active addiction—and then how he ultimately turned his life around after reaching his own rock bottom.

  • The Real Tea About Reality TV
    2023/03/14

    Just how real is “reality” tv?

    Kareem Fathalla, a cast member on season six of MTV’s “Are You The One?” joins Brianna on her latest episode of “The Red Room” to discuss the real tea on reality TV. Kareem openly shares what it felt like having every move of his monitored, losing contact from the “real” world for weeks on-end, being “cast” into a particular role and dealing with the backlash of the portrayal of his character once the season finished airing.

    Now, more than five years since that season has aired, Kareem brings a fresh perspective to reality TV and discusses his next moves as he maneuvers into the realms of modeling, acting and fitness.

  • In the ‘Thicc’ of it: Bullying, Body Shaming and Body Dysmorphia
    2023/02/28

    Today, we’re serving body-ody-ody positivity… despite what we may have felt growing up in a fat-shaming culture.

    On this week’s episode of “The Red Room,” Brianna and her guest Jillian, a proud plus-sized model, discuss their lifelong struggles with weight and how that affected their lives as it pertained to bullying, crash dieting, body shaming and self-loathing.

    After decades of abuse, they’ve both still managed to tap into their own senses of confidence and self-love (though it wasn’t easy). Together, they’re now on a mission to continue shattering corrupt body and beauty standards.

    Big bad got ‘em big mad.
