Black Hipster

Episode 141: It's totally ok if you cry, throw things or lose your will to eat for the next few days cause the last episode of Black Hipster is here. This has been a ride filled with fun, excitement, frustration, anger and many other emotions. We have thoroughly enjoyed opening ourselves up nearly every week but we are also excited to move on. This episode we reminisce about our fave moments of 2021 and most importantly of Black Hipster. Your Forever Hipsters, Shalwah and Stanley.

Episode 140: Let's talk TV ya'll. We discuss some shows on our radar such a the female lead newbie Harlem and the return of one of our old faves Sex and the City. Both are entertaining in their ways and bring up social issues around race, gender and sex. Jussie Smollett's verdict is another reminder that justice does not mean the same for our brothers and sisters as it does for others.

Episode 139: We all have those friends that we get along just fine with but sometimes spending an extended amount of time with them can feel a little like a chore. The verdict for Kyle Rittenhouse was announced and are we surprised that "justice" continues to only work for some and not for all? DaBaby's recent remarks and antics were bad enough but his latest situation with the mother of his child took things to a new low.

Episode 138: The recent NY election had us voting for horrible vs catastrophic. Of course we picked the candidate who we felt would do us the LEAST harm. When are we going to get a candidate who is really for the people and isn't a crazy cat lady? Football star Henry Ruggs was involved in a fatal car crash and our hearts go out to his family but especially the family of the young victim who lost her life.
