A proposito di questo titolo

The podcast where anime meets psychology, pop culture meets purpose, and Black girl brilliance takes center stage!


MMP is hosted by Cleo & Callie, two women of color with a shared love of nerd culture and deep conversations. Callie’s a Clinical Mental Health Counselor bringing therapeutic insight and emotional depth; Cleo’s the creative strategist adding fire, laughter, and fandom finesse. Together, they blend analysis and authenticity in a space where healing, humor, and hype coexist.


What to Expect:

Thoughtful breakdowns of anime, pop culture, and storytelling

Representation, real talk, and the occasional existential crisis over fictional characters

Big brain energy meets divine sass


At MMP, we don’t just watch anime — we feel it, deconstruct it, and find the lessons hidden in every plot twist.


Pull up a chair, and join the Muses as we explore what it means to be human — one anime episode (and a little bit of chaos) at a time.

  • Why We Get Attached to Anime Characters
    Nov 26 2025

    Why do we get so attached to anime characters? Why do Tanjiro, Deku, Guts, or even Usagi feel like real friends or even confidants?


    In Episode 2 of Melanin Muses, we break down the psychology of anime attachment — from parasocial relationships to how anime storytelling supports mental health and emotional healing.


    Cleo & Callie dive into why certain characters resonate so deeply, how we see ourselves in their struggles, and why anime can feel like free therapy (NOT to substitute seeking professional support!).


    If you’ve ever cried over a character arc or felt understood by a fictional hero… this one’s for you.


    What We Cover


    Why humans bond with fictional characters


    Attachment theory & parasocial relationships


    Why characters like Tanjiro, Deku, and Usagi are so dang relatable


    The therapeutic power of anime


    How anime helps us process emotions & grow


    Featured series include: Berserk, Demon Slayer, Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, A Silent Voice, and more.

  • Were the Disney Muses REAL!?
    Nov 10 2025

    Anyone else obsessed with the Muses from Disney’s Hercules?


    What if we told you they were real—well, mythologically speaking? In our very first episode of the Melanin Muses Podcast, hosts Callie (a clinical counselor & mental health advocate) and Cleo (a creative storyteller & artist) dive into the origins of the Muses, the goddesses of creativity and inspiration, and explore how Clio and Calliope still influence art, storytelling, and emotional expression today.


    In this episode, we discuss:


    -The real history behind the nine Greek Muses


    -How Clio (Muse of History) and Calliope (Muse of Epic Poetry) inspired us personally


    -The link between creativity, storytelling, and healing


    Whether you’re an anime fan, a creator, or someone passionate about mental health and self-discovery—welcome home. You’ve found your Muses.
