Uploaded and Unfiltered: Real Talk on Healing, Creativity, and Mindset for Black Creators
Creative journeys. Real struggles. Honest growth.
Hosted by Jermaine, Uploaded and Unfiltered is where Black creators talk real about what it takes to create in public—and stay sane doing it. You’ll hear from YouTubers, streamers, podcasters, musicians, and other digital creatives on how they built their platforms, overcame burnout, dealt with self-doubt, and found their voice.
This isn’t fluff or “how I got famous” talk. We dig into the messy middle—impostor syndrome, grief, perfectionism, procrastination, and the pressure to perform.
Every episode is packed with truth and tools to help you:
- Build your creative presence online (without faking it)
- Move through mental blocks that keep you stuck
- Learn from the wins and fails of other Black creators
🎧 This podcast is for you if:
- You’re a BIPOC content creator or want to be
- You’ve got ideas but keep overthinking or procrastinating
- You want honest convos, mindset shifts, and real strategies

In this episode of Uploaded & Unfiltered, I break down why motivation is the wrong thing to wait around for, and what actually moves you into action: appeal and possibility. I get into YouTube's new Partner Program requirements (watch hours doubling from 4,000 to 8,000 come February) and why creators should treat that as fuel instead of a reason to give up. I also call out the "dopamine traps" that trick you into feeling productive, like endlessly tweaking thumbnails or over-planning, without ever putting out real content. If you've ever told yourself "I need motivation" before doing the thing you already know you need to do, this one's for you.
