Aspen Fitzgerald- Dorsey shares with Kiesha Garrison details from her life story as a young Black woman who dealt with the pressures of attending Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology, one of the country's highest ranked magnet schools, and her experience needing to leave graduate school because of crippling student debt.  With Aspen being pregnant with her first child at 40, the first cousins compare notes about the different messages they received about the "must-dos" of womanhood and about when was the right time to become a mother.
