In The Mind of Dame
In The Mind of Dame is a weekly hangout where I talk about whatever’s been on my mind. Music, sports, movies, TV, books, self-improvement, pop culture, social-media trending topics —pretty much anything worth talking about.
Think of it like a little community club where we break down what we’re watching, reading, listening to, and thinking about. If you want to laugh, learn something, or just hear some real thoughts once a week, you’re in the right place.

In this week’s episode of In The Mind of Dame, I kick things off with a quick recap of my Thanksgiving and a look at my Black Friday shift. Then I dive into the recent controversy at the University of Oklahoma, including a student’s essay on gender norms that’s got everyone talking.
From there, I break down Lane Kiffin’s shocking move from Ole Miss to LSU and the overall chaos that is college football right now. I also get into the NBA trend of players having fans removed mid-game and whether it’s getting out of hand.
I switch gears to review The Alchemist, sharing my takeaways from one of the most talked-about books in modern self-growth. Then it’s back to football as I react to the Steelers’ latest loss to the Bills and why it might finally be time to consider life after Mike Tomlin. I wrap it up with my NFL Week 14 picks, my album recommendation of the week, and a rundown of my Spotify Wrapped.
A packed, laid-back episode—tap in!
