Cognac,Cupcakes,and Conversations Podcast

We must protect our girls from various walks of the world at all costs. We are calling all men especially our black brothers to the table to discuss how we need to advocate for our women. We bring awareness to #Sextrafficking and how easy it is to get caught up. In R&R we got all the tea on who's daddy #Tamar was creeping with, Beef between #Drake and #SwizzBeatz and we ask the age-old question WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET JUSTICE FOR BREONNA!!!!

Philanthropy Highlight: Black & Missing Foundation whose mission is to bring awareness to missing persons of color; provide vital resources and tools to missing person's families and friends and to educate the minority community on personal safety.

Whew chile! It's with mixed emotions as we recap the season finale of HBO's #Insecure with our favorite Cannabis Guru, Cece (Reset Wellness). We give our predictions on if Coronavirus Condola will make a comeback in the next season and our POV on the state of Issa and Molly's friendship. Business as usual Ana gives us some piping hot tea in our weekly dose of R&R where we talk about how Marques Houston is giving R Kelly vibes, B.Simone backhanded apology, and the shit show of how America is dealing with police injustice.

Philanthropy Highlight:

Murphy Legal Law Firm is offering pro-bono (FREE99) services for those who were arrested as a result of protesting in DC & MD.

Sometimes we need a little optimism. We have seen so much grief, sickness, murder porn, injustice, and brutality that we’ve become numb. We don’t want you to lose hope. We have a long journey ahead of us and we can’t afford to be weary and weak. Like the song said, “as long as we keep our head to the sky”.

Today we are going to take a mental break and catch up on all the #insecure tea (1:38:00) that we have been waiting to discuss from the last 2 episodes. We will dive into our weekly balance of ratchet & righteousness and we will also give tips on ways to be optimistic (0:42:28)and what we can do in the here & now.

Whether you realize it or not, friendships aren't the only relationships that go through seasons. Familial, romantic and even personal seasons are something we all experience; so we decided to chat it up while including current examples of them being portayed in the media (ie. Insecure and the Family Hustle)

Prior to that in R&R, we once and for all address these damn Karens that are running rampant during the Rona Quarantine; make even more of a mess of life than it already currently is. *EYE ROLL*. And #YATUSABE how hype Ana and Kel are for the upcoming Bounty Killa and Beenie Man Verzuz! All this and more in this week's episode!
