In this intimate Pillow Talk conversation, DestinyShanee sits down with Mr. Lawton of Mr. Lawton TV to talk about what it really means to build your own platform when no one hands you a seat at the table.

From starting a creator-driven media channel to spotlighting overlooked voices, Mr. Lawton opens up about the highs, the burnout, the sacrifices, and the purpose behind creating content with intention. This episode dives into independence, community, and the responsibility that comes with holding the microphone.

If you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or visionary building from the ground up, this conversation will remind you why you started — and why your voice still matters.

1. The origin story behind Mr. Lawton TV
2. Creating platforms instead of waiting for permission
3. Spotlighting artists and unheard voices
4. The real cost of consistency and content creation
5. Burnout, mental health, and staying the course
6. Advice for creators building from bedrooms and basements
7. The creation of Dallas

You don’t need permission to create.

Your vision is valid before it’s profitable.

Build with intention — the audience will find you.

Healing the Little Boy Inside”

Tea Pairing: DrippyHogg

Mood: inner child healing

Tonight feels tender.

So let’s whisper this one.

Close your eyes.

Picture yourself…

at 7 years old.

Before the world got loud.

Before you had to be “the man.”

Before anybody told you not to cry.

See him?

That little boy is still inside you.

Still hoping.

Still sensitive.

Still good.

Take a slow sip of tea.

Now repeat:

✨

I forgive myself for what I didn’t know.

I release the pressure to be perfect.

I protect my inner child.

I speak to myself with kindness.

I am healing generational pain.

I break cycles with love.

I am safe to grow.

I am safe to be gentle.

✨

You didn’t get all the hugs you deserved.

So tonight…

this is one.

From me to you.

From this pillow to your heart.

You are loved deeper than you realize.

Mood: strength + clarity + purpose

Sip your tea.

NOW Take a deep breath with me.

Today we honoring something powerful:

Black men are more than survival stories.

You’re more than struggle.

More than statistics.

More than “be strong.”

You are creators.

Leaders.

Poets.

Fathers.

Dreamers.

Now say this:

✨

I am not just surviving — I am living.

I deserve joy, not just endurance.

My dreams are valid.

My voice matters.

My presence changes rooms.

My ancestors walk with me.

I am built from excellence.

I move with purpose.

I choose peace today.

✨

You don’t have to grind yourself into the ground to be worthy.

You already are.

Speak softer today.

Protect your energy today.

Excellence isn’t exhaustion.

It’s alignment.

In this intimate episode of Let’s Talk at Pillow Talk, we sit down with Derrick Pointer, a writer, actor, and director based in DFW, for a real conversation about what it truly means to create while healing.

Behind every script, performance, and finished film is emotional labor that rarely gets acknowledged. Derrick opens up about the grind of being a multi-hyphenate creative, navigating purpose through pressure, and staying committed to storytelling while balancing life, burnout, and growth.

This episode isn’t about glamorizing hustle — it’s about telling the truth.

1. The emotional side of writing, acting, and directing
2. Creating art while still healing personally
3. The realities of the DFW creative scene
4. Burnout, balance, and staying aligned with purpose
5. Why rest is just as important as discipline
6. Letting go of perfection and trusting the process

A calming blend designed for reflection, clarity, and grounding — perfect for late-night conversations and creative alignment. MIDNIGHT ALIGNMENT (Chamomile + Rose + Peppermint)

A short, anonymous listener confession reminds us that many creatives are quietly exhausted, carrying the weight of being “strong” while longing for rest and softness.

You don’t have to be fully healed to create.

You don’t have to hustle through exhaustion to be worthy.

You’re allowed to pause, rest, and still pursue your calling.

This episode is for the writers, filmmakers, artists, and dreamers creating in silence — and healing in between.

The ones who carry everything.

The strong ones.

The quiet ones.

The tired ones.

The world told you to be hard.

But tonight?

You don’t have to be hard here.

Breathe in…

Breathe out…

Repeat after me:

✨

I am allowed to rest.

I am allowed to feel.

I am allowed to cry without shame.

My softness does not make me weak.

My heart is safe here.

I don’t have to fight tonight.

I don’t have to prove anything tonight.

I am enough… exactly as I am.

✨

Black man… you deserve gentleness too.

Let this tea warm your chest.

Let this moment slow your mind.

You are not behind.

You are not broken.

Every artist has a “before.”

Before the streams.

Before the confidence.

Before the name.

Tonight, we slow it down and talk about the creation of Slim Suavay — not just the music, but the mindset, discipline, and quiet grind that built him.

This isn’t hype.

This isn’t clout talk.

This is about becoming.

We explore how independent artists develop their sound, build their identity, and grow without waiting for validation or a cosign. From early sacrifices to finding his voice, Slim Suavay’s journey reminds us that success is built in silence long before it’s seen in public.

So pour your tea.

Lay back.

And let’s talk about the process behind the presence. AND Don't Forget its BLACK MENS EXCELLENCE MONTH!!! Celebrate our Black Men.
