BLACK MILLENNIAL

THIS WEEK IS SPONSORED BY CARD GAMES

— EPISODE 038 - LOVE, SEX + MAGIC — 

It's a hot girl and hot boy summer and while much of the social mediasphere focuses on keeping us in competition with each other, we wanted to focus on the magic that can happen when two people unify lifestyles and this thing called a "relationship" starts to form. Don't worry if that sounds foreign to you, I too have never felt that emotion. Inspired by the upcoming book, The Game of Desire by Sexologist Shannon Boodram, we wanted to start our conversation where it's supposed to end, at commitment. Later in the show we talk about Black political activist A$AP Rocky, dissect and theorize what's happening in Euphoria and try to figure out why Jermaine Durpee hate's women.

— EPISODE 037 - WE'LL NEVER BE THOSE KIDS AGAIN —

Being an adult is fucking hard, and we feel like someone should have better prepared us for that concept. So we're doing our best with reconciling, starting with an open conversation about nostalgia from our childhoods. Being a kid, especially in the 90's was such a transitive time, and we talk about some of the reasons why. There's more news and less pop culture on this episode because honestly, who cares. People are dying in concentration camps.

— 036 - THE DOOR IS CLOSED — 

This week we focus our Motives + Thoughts on closure; in the segment produced by our social guru @le.mack, we discuss closure and the ending of relationships. Relationships in this context is universal —  familial relationships, friendships and romantic relationships. How do we end relationships amicably and close the door? Per usual, the Tweets are on Fire, Nicki Minaj's song sucks, and LGBT people of color are running the world.

— EPISODE 035 - CAN I TALK MY SHIT AGAIN? — 

In this week's episode of Black Millennial, we focus on self-confidence and why it's okay to big yourself up if no one else will. We exist in a society where finding your personal freedom has become increasingly difficult and the stress of keeping up with the whomever's is simply too overwhelming. Later in the show we break down Striking Vipers, stan Norah Jones and continue showing love to the LGBTQ community in a segment we like to call Who Run The World. As always there's Weird White People Shit + Bops to be shared. This is probably our best episode in weeks, tell a friend to tell a friend!

— EPISODE 034 - PEOPLE BE GAY —

In this episode of Black Millennial we talk about being gay and why that’s okay. With June being pride month we thought it important to shed light on the struggles and triumphs of our brothers and sisters in the LGBTQ community. Because believing that all Black lives matter must include the wealth and variety of Black identities that exist.
