July 13, 2023 Ep 273. Do We Need Black Men?
This week, we get provocative & discuss whether or not we “need” men. Inspired by Megan Thee Stallion’s proclamation at Essence Fest- “We don’t need men. We want ya’ll, but we don’t need ya’ll” - we dissect the statement and share our interpretations of “need” vs “want”. Finally, we explore & acknowledge what deeper wounds may be the source of our gender wars.

June 26, 2023 REPRISE: Not All Black Art Slaps ft. Jade + X.D.
Chile, we needed a break from publicly deep-diving into soul work and decided to chop it up with our faves Jade and XD because Black joy is also an act of resistance and self-preservation. We talk about our dislike for a certain mahogany art, the "L' in Salmon being anti-Black, and much more. Join us.

This is our last episode before we go on a 2-week hiatus and we intend to go out with a bang! Shanti pours herself a drank (or 3) while Antoinette takes an edible before the chaos begins...

The episode starts seriously with Antoinette sharing her frustrations about the men she is attracting (Shanti does her best to keep it together to console her). Things begin to unravel while listening to voicemails and the real shenanigans begin with us trying to figure out who knows the other better.
