In this 2025 Wrap-Up episode of CareFreeBlackGirl, we’re reflecting on the moments, moves, and cultural shifts that defined the year for Black women. From A’ja Wilson being named TIME’s Athlete of the Year, to Jasmine Crockett’s Senate announcement, to Teyana Taylor’s long-overdue Golden Globe win, we break down what recognition, representation, and creative freedom really looked like in 2026.

Plus, we get into what’s hot (or not), talk evolving as artists and fans, and close out by exploring how starting your own traditions can be an act of liberation. This episode is about giving flowers, telling the truth, and choosing joy on your own terms.
