Description

Hand Me My Purse. is a podcast for curious people who enjoy meaningful, authentic conversation. Through stories, observations, and honest dialogue, host MeMe Walker explores culture, relationships, personal growth and the experiences that shape our everyday lives. Think of it like handing your favorite Auntie her purse. This simple act is a catalyst for action; you know she’s about to bless your life in some way. In many Black families and communities, Aunties are often the keepers of wisdom, truth, comfort, guidance and the kind of love that isn’t afraid to tell you exactly what you need to hear. They provide a place of safety and irrefutable wisdom like nobody else can. You’ll find that same energy throughout every episode. Every time MeMe opens her purse, she brings stories, perspective, humor, hard questions, lived experience and just enough accountability to keep the conversation real. Whether we’re laughing, crying, questioning, learning or simply trying to make sense of this life we live, you’ll absolutely leave with something to hold onto long after the conversation ends.
