Around The Way Curls

Episode 78 is a special one! After a long controversy and a lot of shaming, Shanti has finally watched the movie “Waiting to Exhale”. There is no better duo to help Around The Way Curls dissect the classic than Jade and XD. Join this mashup of podcasts as we revel in the 90’s Black fashion, friendship, terracotta makeup, thirsty women, raggedy men, and the timeless soundtrack that makes “Waiting to Exhale” a classic for the culture.

In this week's episode, we get lost in the quicksand of nuance. We consider the absurdity of free speech laws being debated in U.S. politics, and question if Caresha and Diddy are in polyamory heaven or hell? After being tempted to judge Meghan Markle's recent documentary, we journey together to find empathy around Meghan's Black identity (or lack thereof). We also both took an edible during this episode so maybe we were far-reaching in all our pondering. Who knows? Join us...

In this week's episode, we fight! In our updates, we get into it over our delusions around Jonathan Majors!! For our main topic, we dive into the most recent NPR interview with Michelle Obama where she discusses the fallacy of 50/50 in a marriage. Can we tolerate years of discomfort if we trust that the other partner will do it for us? Is marriage a dedication to the long game with guaranteed fruits at the end or are we denying ourselves the pleasures of the here and now? Join us...
