In this episode, we talk about the struggles about beauty standards lashes, hair and makeup. This led to talking about the new buzz words ‘aesthetic’ and ‘the clean girl’. We question whether it’s important *hint: it’s not*, and how these manifest into toxic friendships. We also talk about the fascination people have with touching black women hair without consent. If you do this please stop!!! Anyways, we hope you guys enjoy this episode.

This episode is all about Hot Girl Summer and what that means to us. After the stresses of last semester, we really want to start the summer off with bang and we thought it was best to make it into an episode. We discuss topics such as body image, femininity, navigating self acceptance and the importance of friendships. This is a very light hearted episode and we had a great time recording it. Hope everyone enjoys it!!

p.s please look up what hot girl summer means in general before listening

In todays episode, we discussed an array of topics. Starting of as a simple catch up with the girls, leading to other topics such as the Johnny Depp case, the tragic events that took place in Robb Elementary, to the Nkencho family taking a case to the high court and some other topics in between. We would like place a trigger warning as some of the topics discussed are sensitive, so please be mindful of that before listening.
