In the Premier Episode for Season 2 of Defiance, Dinneh tackles the concept and history of race and policing in America and how it ties to money and greed. This week, Derek Chauvin is found guilty on all charges, Black people can be oppressors too and the racial elements of classism.

In relationships, things can get tricky when there is no clear communication. It is important to have a good understanding on what labels are attached to a relationship. We go through a text chain between two people in a relationship/situationship and discuss the outcome.

Uzo was the perfect guest for this moment in time. Election season is over. The path forward still is not clear. We talk about politics and social issues, giving our unfiltered hot takes and discussing the outcome of the election. We also explain some of the thinking behind our political voting choices and touch on what we should expect and demand from our government as we brace ourselves for new leadership.

The times have found us. It is evident, except you choose to ignore it. The Black Lives Matter movement has gone global and taken over the national conversation again because the long fight for justice and equity continues. We decided to record this episode at a time when our feelings and thoughts were at their most unadulterated. Pure and True. Our sincere hope is that this episode serves as a dose of therapeutic reality and even more so as a call to action. There is so much going on, and in a very peculiar time, it is up to us to look inward, voice our opinions, and be about that action on the issues we are dealing with right now. Onward!

Uche is on Defiance this week. We take a deep dive into navigating parent-child bonds. How they are formed, transitioning through phases, and handling rough patches. The relationship dynamic between parents and their kids can be tricky, so take a listen as we explore it.

As we go through this period and look to the future with the certainty of hope, let us decide every day to bare The Burden of Greatness.

In this episode, we try to peel back the layers of virginity. The pros and cons, the stigma, and the impact it has on dating and relationships. In our attempt to deconstruct virginity, we confront our perceptions of sex, dating, and marriage. How would you define virginity? How do you feel about dating while waiting?

Caro has been threatening our lives. She just dey everywhere. It's a pandemic. The length of this episode is how long you should wash your hands. This is a quick take on a serious issue.
