Cousin Calibration

The Parlour

Led by Cousin Christopher, these 1-on-1 calls are for those ready to confront the distortions we inherited and the habits we’ve mistaken for “how it’s always been.”

Here, we don’t perform healing—we practice honesty.
We talk about the tension between who we’ve become and who we were taught to be. We name the patterns that keep us polished but disconnected, powerful but tired, loyal but unfulfilled.

Cousin Calibrations are not therapy.
They’re clarity sessions for the soulfully self-aware—a space for the Black family to refine its rhythm, restore its dignity, and remember what alignment actually feels like when we stop surviving each other.

You bring your truth. I’ll bring the mirror.
We’ll handle it—like family.

The Parlour is where family business
gets handled. Where truth sits beside love, and both are poured straight—no chaser.

Cousins,

For the ones holding the line.
The new anchors of the Black family—the ones who see what’s broken but refuse to become
bitter about it.

You’re the bridge between generations:
— fluent in both the old codes and the new language.
The cousin who pauses to regroup when the family chat gets tense, who checks themselves before others, the one who knows when the family starts repeating what you’ve already healed from.

You don’t crave control—you crave coherence.
You’ve carried wisdom quietly, endured projection gracefully, and stayed intact long enough to bring truth back to the table.

This space is for you—the ones called to realign the family system without losing yourself in it.
I’m here to reflect and clarify
what we need to do next.

Cousins, it’s time.
We’ve got work to do in The Parlour.

Let's Talk

The Parlour is where family business is addressed.
Where truth sits beside love, and both are poured straight—no chaser.

Family Chat

  • Sylvia J.

    "You reminded me I don’t have to mother everybody to matter. I’ve been the planner, the peacemaker, the one keeping everyone together even when I was falling apart. In The Parlour, you helped me see that I can love them without losing myself. I’ve started saying no without guilt—and it feels holy. You gave me back my edges, and I didn’t even know I’d rounded them off.
    You are a gift Christopher–truly."

  • Kaneisha K.

    “Cousin you’re the real deal. You’re the only person I trust to talk to about how I really feel. You encourage me, but you also keep me accountable and don’t let me make excuses. I can’t hear feedback from too many people, but what you say lands heavy in my bones. I can’t even deny it, and I’m glad I can’t.
    Thank you for being you.”

  • Jamal J.

    "That conversation felt like a deep exhale I didn’t know I was holding. You helped me realize I’ve been living my life from obligation, not clarity—and that’s why I’ve been exhausted. I left our call lighter, more honest, and with permission to not fix everything.
    I’m seeing myself again
    —without the survival mask."

  • Whitney W.

    "You didn’t coach me—you saw me.
    I’ve spent my whole life being the calm one, the rational one, the one who doesn’t rock the boat. In The Parlour, you gave me language for my silence and reminded me that peace without truth isn’t peace. That shifted something in me, Cousin. For real."

  • Zori W.

    "That call was different. It didn’t feel like therapy—it felt like somebody finally speaking my language. You helped me slow down and separate my truth from the noise of social media, my family, and everyone’s opinions. I left knowing I don’t have to rebel to be real. I just have to be clear. You showed me how to stay grounded without shrinking, and that’s everything."

  • Keith K.

    "Brotha our call rearranged me. You helped me see where I’ve misplaced my energy and setup expectations that have only hindered me. I walked away with boundaries that actually feel aligned with who I am. Not selfish. It’s wild how one conversation can shift somebody so hard. You did that, Cousin."

  • Oluwatoyin A.

    "I came in thinking this was about my job, but it ended up being about how I lead my life. You connected the dots between how I move at work and how I learned to move in my family—and suddenly everything made sense. I walked away clear, calm, and more me than I’ve been in a long time."

  • Rashad T.

    "I didn’t expect to be emotional, but you caught me off guard—in the best way. You spoke to the part of me that’s been quiet since I was a kid. You helped me understand that strength and softness can coexist. I’m showing up different now, not defensive, just aware. Thank you for seeing me like that."
