The Melanin Reset
The Melanin Reset is more than a podcast—it’s a call to reclaim our power. Hosted by Valarie “The Realist” Winn—educator, photographer, and your unfiltered homegirl—this visual podcast challenges how Black Americans see ourselves and how we demand the world see us.
We’re breaking free from the boxes they tried to put us in, rewriting our narratives, and standing ten toes down in our excellence. From unapologetic conversations about race, culture, and politics to real-life talk about self-worth, success, and navigating life as Black folk—every episode is rooted in truth and transformation.
Tune in for bold discussions and special series like Living, Loving, and Winning, a powerful exploration of what it means to thrive in every area of life.
This is our space. Our story. Our power.

Communication & Understanding | Living, Loving, and Winning! (Part 1)
The Melanin Reset presents Living, Loving, and Winning! This week, we’re diving into one of the biggest keys to a healthy relationship—Communication & Understanding. 💬✨
We’re getting real about how therapy helped both of our marriages and the powerful “aha” moments that turned miscommunication into clarity. Because let’s face it—love without understanding can’t thrive.
In this Part 1 episode, we’ll discuss:
🗣️ Why communication is more than just talking
💡 How therapy helped us unpack what we were really trying to say
👀 Stories of miscommunication turned into breakthrough moments
❤️ The power of active listening and emotional vulnerability
We’re keeping it 100% real—and next week, we’re coming back with Part 2 to dive even deeper into how understanding each other creates winning partnerships.
If you’ve ever felt like your partner just doesn’t get you—this one’s for you!
