Flawda Girls' Diaries

Diary Entry No. 10 – Aaliyah: “The Stylist, the Storm, and the Second Chance"

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 18:20:48 GMT

Aaliyah always had hands like velvet and hustle like fire—twenty-two and finally taking over the town salon she grew up in. But between shop-floor shade, a busted-lip beef, and a building that creaks like it’s got secrets, the weather starts talking back. When a tropical swirl turns monster, an ex-con neighbor named Marvin shows up with plywood, a hammer, and a gentleness she didn’t see coming.

By candlelight and radio slow jams, they get cozy—stitching wounds, fixing fireplaces, and finding a softness in the middle of a Category 5. But storms don’t just rip roofs; they pull up roots. A fallen oak, a flooded living room, a jealous almost-something named D, and a salon that needs saving—love won’t be easy, but it might be worth rebuilding for.

This is a story about ownership and aftermath—of a shop, a house, a body, and a future. About a woman claiming what’s hers, a man trying to be better than his rap sheet, and how tenderness can bloom even when the wind says otherwise.

Flawda Girls’ Diaries is a fictional audio collection of short stories told through the confessions, contradictions, and quiet revolutions of Southern Black women and girls. From heartbreak to healing, magic to mess, these diary-style episodes live somewhere between memory and make-believe.

📓 New episodes drop every 1st and 3rd Sunday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Substack. You might laugh. You might cry. You might see yourself in these pages. ✨ All stories are almost entirely untrue. But this diary? This one’s for you.

Diary Entry No. 9 – Naomi: “The Flags Aren’t Always Red”

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 23:24:40 GMT

In this raw and reflective episode, Naomi takes us through the quiet unraveling of a relationship she saw coming undone long before it actually ended.

He wasn’t cruel. He wasn’t cold. He just wasn’t right. And deep down, Naomi always knew.

Through humor, heartbreak, and hard-won wisdom, she revisits the yellow flags she ignored: 🚩 The cigarette habit she tried to overlook. 🚩 The height difference she tried to unlearn. 🚩 The fraternity culture she tried to squeeze herself into.

This is a story about compromising too much, shrinking too small, and the power of finally choosing yourself—even when someone else ends it first.

Because sometimes the biggest betrayal isn’t what they did. It’s what you abandoned in yourself to keep them.

Diary Entry No. 8 – Mrs. Jones: “She Loved a Married Man. And Had His Children.”

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 00:05:51 GMT

She met him at sea, a man with a wife and three kids waiting on land for him. She never asked for more than comfort, affection, and the soft thud of his boots in her hallway once a month. But love, even in the shadows, leaves a mark.

This is the story of Mrs. Jones, the woman behind the rumors. The mistress. The single mother. The deacon’s secret.The sailor's discovery. Told through the eyes of a woman who never claimed to be the victim or the villain. This diary entry explores love without titles, shame without confession, and motherhood forged in secrecy. It’s about the women we don’t talk about, but who live beside us in pews, in clinics, and in quiet corners of the South.

This is a story about desire, survival, and the legacy left behind when women love in the dark.

Diary Entry No. 7 – Candace: “Quarter Juices & Caged Creatures”

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 15:19:21 GMT

In Candace’s neighborhood, the Candy Lady’s house was a childhood rite of passage. Tall uncut grass, large pickles, hot sausages, quarter juices, Laffy Taffys, and Now & Laters. But ever since the Candy Lady got herself a man, something about the place changed.

Possums in cages. Rabbits with bloody feet. Gator eyes glinting in the dark.

When Candace discovers her beloved pet bunny trapped in their backyard “farm,” she and her cousin plot a late-night rescue mission that turns into a full-blown heist. Eleven rabbits, three trips, and one attic full of secrets.

This is a Southern story about childhood curiosity, growing up too fast, and learning when to look away… and when to act.

Diary Entry No. 6 – Keysha: “Miss Flawda Found Her Diddy… with a Billboard Hit in One Hand and an Indictment in the Other”

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 04:47:46 GMT

Keysha always knew she was made for the spotlight. And when the right man with the right mic showed up, she was ready to take it. A Billboard-charting single, a viral dance, and her name finally in lights, Miss Flawda had officially entered her era.

But the road to the charts was rocky. Between baby daddy drama, messy girl group fallouts, getting robbed on the Miss Flawda tour, and watching strippers pull Black & Milds from places Black & Milds should never be… the dream didn’t look much like she imagined.

This is a story about ambition and fame, about a woman chasing her moment through chaos, conflict, and smoke-filled clubs, and finding out what it really costs to shine.

Diary Entry No. 5 – Savannah: “She Wants a Husband... Not Her Daddy”

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 20:57:27 GMT

Savannah knew what she wanted: a proposal, a ring, a wedding, and a man to build a life with. But on the road to ‘I do,’ she kept running into one person standing in her way: her own father.

This Father’s Day, we unpack generational wounds, broken promises, and the difference between a good man and a present man.

Savannah’s story is raw, real, and riddled with Southern tradition, family chaos, and a whole lot of side-eyes. A story about Love, Marriage & Daddy Issues

💍 She’s getting married. 🚫 But she’s not sure she wants her daddy to give her away.

Diary Entry No. 4 – Disnee: “Her First Love Was Mickey Mouse… She Hates Him Now”

Sat, 31 May 2025 14:00:18 GMT

Disnee’s childhood was filled with parades, fireworks, and Mickey Mouse smiles. Her whole family worked at Disney—her mom danced in the parades, her dad swept the streets, and she wanted to believe that maybe, just maybe, magic was real.

But beneath the fantasy was family dysfunction, shouting matches, and a battle of the sexes she was too young to grasp.

Now grown, Disnee shares the moment she stopped believing in magic, why she can’t stand her name, and how Disney went from her blissful escape to her origin story as a misanthrope.

Diary Entry No. 3 – Nina: "A Dead-Tired Flawda Girl Dating a Pale-Faced Energy Vampire"

Sat, 17 May 2025 14:55:38 GMT

When Nina meets Chase—a pale, persistent man with old-money privilege and obsessive energy—she thinks she’s just falling in love. Turns out, she’s being slowly drained. Spiritually. Emotionally. Energetically.

This ain’t your typical breakup story. It’s soul extraction. And she’s done being dead tired.

✨ Laughter. Grief. Growth. ✨ All stories are almost entirely untrue. 📓 This diary’s for you.

Diary Entry No. 1 – Zora: “I’m a Witch… Just Like My Momma”

Sat, 19 Apr 2025 09:08:14 GMT

You’ve heard of a woman’s intuition—

More than a feeling, more than a hunch.

Some pray in silence.

Some whisper at dusk.

But the ones with thunder in their bones?

They shift the sky ‘til the sun sits high.

Zora was nine when she found out her Momma wasn’t just strong—she was something else. Something that moved the wind and silenced storms with a whisper. In this debut episode of Flawda Girls’ Diaries, we enter the magical, mysterious legacy of Southern Black womanhood.
