Conversations With Coco + Friends

Welcome back Cowe's!! This week's episode is long-awaited, and one we've been dying to talk about -- what it means to have "Good Hair" and how that's impacted each of our journies differently as Black and Bi-Racial women. We talk about our first hair memories, the ridiculous things people have said and done to our hair (read: trying to touch it without permission) and our best-kept secrets.

This episode was sponsored by our amazing friends at SHARK Canada, who you can follow on IG and you can check out the HyperAIR blowdryer we mentioned in the episode, HERE.

Alright, friends, we are back with a follow-up episode on all things fertility -- if you haven't heard our first episode on this, you can check it out here. We sit down with Dr. Arnold Mahesan, a fertility specialist here in Toronto, and we get into the nitty-gritty about all things fertility. He breaks down exactly what you need to ask your doctor, what are some of the warning signs you should look out for, and just how complex the fertility process can be. We even have a surprise appearance from our friend Roxy Earle, who is married to Dr. Mahesan.

In honour of International Transgender Day of Visibility, we had the great pleasure of sitting down with Just Jamie, for a tricky talk about the nuances involved in the transgender-lived experience. We are so grateful that Jamie took the time to answer some very intimate and vulnerable questions we had for her, so that we could, in turn, help to bring awareness and education to our followers. Make sure you check out Jamie on TikTok too!

This is an episode that is long-awaited, but incredibly timely. So long-awaited, in fact, that we actually recorded a version of it in 2021 -- but it wasn't quite right. Today, we sit down with Halla Rafati to discuss how she, a smart, successful, beautiful powerhouse, got swindled by her ex-partner; in much the same way that the ladies of Netflix's Tinder Swindler, did too. Don't worry, Halla dishes out some GOOD advice on how you, can avoid getting swindled.

This episode of CWC + Friends is one of our favourite episodes and one that we've been wanting to do for a long time. Today, we sat down with Avery Francis, founder of Bloom, a company that helps other companies create access to impactful and equitable hiring practices. In other words, she is a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion expert; and we ask her all of the big questions on DE&I, and let us tell you -- we learned a lot.

Here is a link to our Derrick Jaxn episode that we mentioned

Here is the Indigenous Land Locator Number that Avery mentioned: 1-907-312-5085

What better way to celebrate #InternationalWomensDay than to sit with our beautiful friends Amy Shio (aka @lesbest) and Vivian Kaye, at the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, to discuss the experiences of Women of Colour in Luxury spaces. We go through all of our experiences operating in luxury spaces, the good, and the bad.

Buckle up, Cowe's because this week, the three of us discuss Toxic Masculinity and the rounds it's making on TikTok. It all started after seeing the Brittany Renner vs. Fresh and Fit viral TikToks, which you can check out here and here. We deep dive into a conversation on why toxic masculinity is running rampant online, we talk about the "used vagina and disrespectful mouth" guy on TikTok (you remember, the 5'1 guy) and we even get to discussing the other guy who says he'd leave his wife (a wife he doesn't have by the way) if she didn't snap back and go to the gym after having their kid.

Buckle up Cowe's!! This week we sit down with our friend Jyoti Matharoo, one-half of the Matharoo sisters. She spills the tea on her scandal a few years back with the Nigerian Oil Tycoon (hint: it's not what you heard in the media), tells us everything about her new haircare brand Oil Tycoon (god, this is the best branding EVER), and how to get a SNATCHURAL BBL. This is an honest and refreshing conversation on so many topics, so make sure to listen in and tell us what you think!
