In this episode Lil Sis Alex and Cousin Sheera have a roundtable discussion on the controversial topic of gender identity.  Did you know there are 107 different gender identities currently listed for 2023!? Would you consider people whose gender identity does not match assigned sex at birth as having gender dysphoria? Do you believe in gender equally? Should there be a limit or restrictions to what activities transgender people can participate in?

This week Little Sis Alex, Cousins Sheera and Yassy have a roundtable conversation about Sexual Assault,  Abusers, Guns and D.A.R.E. Listening in to the cousins discuss: do you think there is real accountability for sexual assault crimes? How does race and generation play a part? What about men and their assaults? Survivors can never forget the abuse they endured. They live with it everyday, do you think the same applies to the abuser? Do you believe abusers can change? Why or why not?  Why do you think people are numb to abusers? Trey Songz for an example he is always on the news. What are your views on gun control?  What D.A.R.E song did you sing growing up? The cousins are all over the place this week!

TG Warning: Sexual Assault

This week join little sis Alex and her Bestie Elizabeth as they discuss Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis has super conservative views on race, gender and education. Currently in Florida law HB 5 prohibits an abortion after an unborn child has reached 15 weeks of gestation however Desantis stated he would sign an abortion ban outlawing the procedure once cardiac activity is detected — around the sixth week of pregnancy if the house proposed bill. Pronouns no longer allowed in schools in Florida. Alex and Elizabeth discuss Florida House Bill 999 eliminating diversity programs in colleges and Florida House bill 543 allows gun owners to carry a concealed firearm without a state permit. Whew it's alot!

This week little sis Alex and cousin Sheera are joined by special guest Lakshmi Rengarajan. Lakshmi is a connection expert working to expand the narrative around romance in the age of big tech. After spending several years working for Match.com and WeWork, Lakshmi felt called to address what dating apps are doing to our hearts. 

When it comes to dating-- meeting is easy, but connecting is harder. How can singles cultivate a genuine connection in the age of big tech? Listen in as Lakshmi explains  what the revival of Set-Up culture means for modern dating.  Give thought how to integrate these assisted-connections into your life. After all  just because you're in a relationship, doesn't mean you can't contribute to the dating scene (side eye not that way)-- but when you set up a friend, less is more. Watch how Lakshmi walks Sheera through an example using her friend Omar. (Hey Omar!) Consider, how can people give singles the best opportunities for relationship-success when making these introductions? Hint: It's not matchmaking!

Laskhmi also dives into relationships in the workplace how she bought her experience with romantic relationships to help cultivate better workplace relationships.
