  • Ep 330. Diddy, Big Backs, Insurrection or Erection? Ft. Monty

    In this week's episode, we are joined by Monty our beloved audio editor of the podcast! For updates, Shanti shares her sexual revelation about coffee while Antoinette manages a busy week and Monty prepares for his coming birthday. Together we discuss the self-immolation and act of protest of Aaron Bushnell, Trump's immunity claim and Mitch McConnell's recent retirement announcement. For pop culture, we delve into the "Big Back" controversy surrounding Ressa Tessa. The conversation touches on the importance of accountability and responsibility in relationships, as well as the dangers of enabling. We end with more allegations against Diddy and the focus on homophobia rather than addressing the harm caused and the harmful behavior in Hollywood and the music industry. Join Us...

  • Ep 329. Can Everyone Be Restored? Ft. Marquise Richards

    In this week's conversation, we are joined by podcaster and educator Marquise Richards. Together, we discuss restorative justice. We explore the challenges and criticisms of restorative justice, including the role of the harmed and the perpetrator in the restoration process. We question the impact of social media and how cancel culture may not always lead to true accountability and change. Using Chris Brown and Monique as examples we wrestle with the importance of understanding the root causes of harm without throwing anyone away. Join us.
