October 21, 2021 Ep 151. Beautifully Broken
This week Antoinette learns to let people do nice things for her while she celebrated her bday weekend, while Shanti continues to sling Sable goods in these streets. Together, they argue about how to correctly pronounce Colin Powel's name (RIP) and discuss blow holes in ignorant negros' arguments that R Kelly is "the greatest the ever did it" (ew). For our main topic, 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.

September 17, 2021 Ep 146. How To Be A Baddie with Naana
* Technology hated on us again and we had to use zoom audio* Antoinette is more upset than she probably should be. Pray for her and her type A perfectionist personality.

This week we are joined by our girl Naana of @workbaepod. Together, we talk the Chloe and whether or not there is an underlying desperation in her performances, colorism and the role it plays in pop culture, and Nikki's anti vax stance. For our main jawn, we ask Naana (who is the ultimate bad bih) to help us step our game up and own into our divine feminine energy with style and grace. Because with her, fashion is much more than looking good. Join us.
