Hey, this is Kaya from Bravo. We're Black. Don't worry, we're not changing anything up.

Aaron has not quit the podcast, and I haven't done a succession style hostile takeover.

You're actually listening to an episode of Bravo, I'm Black, where two to three times a week,

I set out on a solo bite to talk pop culture,

lifestyle, and everything in between. If you're just here for the classic episodes, come back

on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Now let's start some chaos. I know that I said that I was going

to make my return a while ago, but there are only two things that can make me get up out of my dry streak or more of a depression.

And the first is reality TV gossip, duh, but the second is selling sunset in any way, shape, or form.

Let's get into it.

Obviously, I want to address the elephant in the room and I'm very transparent with you guys,

but I want you guys to be patient with me and understand that I can't be

fully transparent because it is not my story to tell. I will tell you the part of my story that I can tell

and also ask you to continue to pray for me. I would also like to thank those who have been praying for me

and who have been there for me, even though you don't even know me. And that's the best thing about

having this podcast. That's the best thing about having Bravo Wear Black the page at Bravo While Black

in general is that I just get to meet a community of people, and I even get to know you guys.

Like, it's not a one-way street here. Like, I care about you guys, just as some of you, for some reason, care about me.

Number one, I had to take a break because obviously someone very close to me

is going through some very serious health issues and trigger warning. I just want this person to be

okay because I honestly don't really see a future without them, period.

And I know that that's hard to hear, but that's the truth. I just can't.

I just need this person to be okay.
