Yes !

i just came across her podcast and I LOVE IT AND HER DMV ENERGY!!! I started listening and was like is she near the dmv and then she said it and I'm super proud like she my friend in real life! lol listening to her different post has inspired me to really get out here and LIVE. if she can pick up and move to a new country, I can surely stop being afraid of another state. An all around dope spirit. without following her social media, I can tell she fly af too! ha

Better Living

Loved this episode as all the others! I agree marriage and divorce is the best thing that has happened to me as well. Keep inspiring young women letting them know that there is a great life outside of marriage!

"It's So Good!"

Demetria is the cousin and bestie who lives rent-free in my mind, with her pop culture coverage, overall life musings, and glorious globe trotting. I look forward to her episodes every week, because they provide down time, self-care, relatable content, news I can use, and much-needed giggles. Hands down, Ratchet & Respectable is one of my absolute favorite podcasts!
