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.
