Queen Karizma (Karizma Speaks) explains why she finally wrote her memoir after surviving Israel United in Christ, detailing harassment, public shaming, and the long, re-traumatizing process of reclaiming her voice.

The episode covers her job conflict with IUIC, the smear campaigns and stalking she endured, how she identified IUIC as a destructive cult using the BITE model, and the release details for Tales from the Cult on August 31.

Tales From The Cult is a powerful podcast and YouTube series created by Gina Blue (also known as Karizma Speaks on YouTube), a former member of the controversial religious group Israel United in Christ (IUIC).

----more----

Israel United in Christ (IUIC) is a Black-founded, Hebrew Israelite group that teaches Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans are the true descendants of the biblical Israelites. A retired NYPD detective leads IUIC, and it has been widely criticized for its exclusionary and extremist beliefs, including its refusal to allow White individuals or those not listed on their 12 Tribes chart to congregate.

In this episode of Tales From The Cult, Karizma shares her firsthand experience inside IUIC, describing what she perceived as religious, mental, physical, and verbal abuse by leaders and loyal members. After leaving the group, she became the target of an organized smear campaign launched by IUIC itself, which has included years of harassment, defamation, and online attacks.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Karizma Speaks podcast with your hostess, Queen Karizma.

In this episode, we delve into the often-avoided topic of the behavior patterns observed among black males, particularly focusing on violence, intimidation, and societal dynamics.

Karizma provides her real commentary on the defensive nature of these discussions and the societal enabling that perpetuates it. Karizma bravely discusses her personal experiences and stresses the importance of addressing these issues without embellishment.

Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges traditional narratives and encourages self-reflection and growth within the community.

When confidence walks into the room, insecurity doesn’t know what to do with itself. In this clip, a beautiful Black woman becomes the unexpected target of verbal aggression from a random Black male — not for doing anything wrong, but simply for owning her space unapologetically. The man’s reaction? Loud, bitter, and revealing. Why is it that Black women are often shamed for the very qualities others celebrate? Is beauty a threat? Or is this a deeper issue rooted in ego, power, and control?

🎤 Sound off in the comments. Have you ever experienced something like this? 🖤 Protect Black women. Always.

In this episode, we break down the serious allegations facing ESPN commentator Shannon Sharpe, including a $50 million civil lawsuit filed in April 2025 and a troubling history of past accusations. While Sharpe denies the claims, the severity of these allegations demands immediate, transparent action from ESPN.

I discuss why accountability matters, how institutions must respond to misconduct, and why standing up for survivors is not up for debate — even when the truth makes people uncomfortable.

We also address common pushback and explain how suspending Sharpe and launching an independent investigation protects the integrity of journalism, sports, and survivor advocacy.
