Everyone has an opinion about Gen Z. But what if the real story is what Millennials & everyone else keep getting wrong about them?

This Yesticle is a journey back into the Yes Girls archives.

Across eight seasons of conversations, a surprising pattern kept appearing: Gen Z. Sometimes as guests, sometimes as the subject of debate, and sometimes defended fiercely by the people we interviewed.

But this isn't a Gen Z debate episode, but more like a listening one.

It's a carefully curated highlight reel of Claire and Akumu revisiting moments from past Yes Girls conversations that reveal deeper truths about this youthful, complex generation.

You'll hear thoughts about:

1. Gen Z self-awareness
2. Youth civic engagement
3. Generational identity shifts
4. Emotional intelligence
5. Expression through fashion and culture
6. What Millennials are still learning

Along the way, the Yes Girls ask each other the much bigger questions: What have Millennials misunderstood about Gen Z? And what are they forcing older generations to unlearn?

This Yesticle features clips from:

1. Episode 46 – Da Boiz
2. Episode 57 – Mantalk with Eli Mwenda and Oscar Koome
3. Episode 63 – Adelle Onyango
4. Episode 65 – Geoffrey Mboya
5. Episode 83 – Kavata
