Lex P is the co-host of Pour Minds, the show ESSENCE Magazine calls one of the most successful independent podcasts in Black media, and co-star of BET’s Travel Queens. In this raw and honest conversation, Lex reveals how she escaped a dead-end job, moved to Atlanta with just $3, and built Pour Minds. She also opens up like I've never seen before. What she shared towards the end was so powerful, it made me call my mom immediately after recording. Enjoy!
