Around The Way Curls

In this episode, Shanti commits herself to a white woman regimen while Antoinette shares the tragic aftermath of appearing on "The Pineapple Show". Together, we respond to a caller who thinks Shanti's "brown privilege card" should be revoked, while another caller accuses us of aging ourselves. For our main topic, we discuss touch deprivation, our personal experience with it, & the general effects it has on the human brain and psyche. How do we cope? How do we reconnect? How do we ask for touch? Once again we have more questions than answers. Join us...

In this week's episode, Shanti asks the community to rally around a dear friend in need while Antoinette tires from hearing herself talk after recording 3 podcasts in 1 week! Together, we kiki about Atlanta, GOT, and A Different World. For politics we offer resources for Puerto Rico, discuss the crisis in Iran and beg the question: Is there such thing as an equitable billionaire? For pop culture, we dive into the Ime Udoka scandal and highlight some talking points we feel are getting lost in the conversation. Join us.

We return from our brief break with some Kiki energy! We catch up on our separate break activities and dive into all things pop culture + politics. We talk about the Mississippi water crisis, Joe Biden helping strike a deal for the railroads, well deserved (and not so well deserved) Emmy wins, Kim K being the "victim and the villain" and new music from both Ari Lennox + Jazmine Sullivan. Join us.

So, we are finally doing it. Shanti and I took last week off. We will be recording some new and exciting content this week so stay tuned. But in the meantime, please enjoy this oldie but goody.

In episode 151, we discuss the ancient Japanese art form Kintsugi, where imperfections are highlighted and celebrated rather than hidden. Together, we relate this to our own lives and examine how we can be both beautiful and broken. Join us.

We are still taking a break from our norm and avoiding heavy/loaded/triggering topics like the plague. Enjoy our attempt at having a lighter conversation while we shoot the sh*t, talk Serena Williams, Stacey Dash, DMX, and how we do NOT envy children growing up in today's world. Join us...

Keep in mind, this episode was recorded before the allegations were made against Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears. You know we talk a lot about the grooming of our young people so we will discuss at a later date.

We need a break from our "More Questions Than Answers" weekly drop because self-work is hard. We'll bring the soul work back this week. Until then, tune into another 'Ki-Ki' episode where Shanti talks about her first sex club experience and Antoinette reveals the official pronunciation of the Gawd, Maryam Hasnaa's name. Together, we discuss Shein's latest failure when it comes to business ethics, ponder whether some men date women but don't like them, and answer some caller's questions. Join us
