As the summer of COVID-19 persists simultaneously with  recent police shooting atrocities, now is as important as ever to take care of our mental, physical and emotional health. That said, this episode we are providing our D&D Fam with some low cost self care ideas. Additionally the Divas dole out cheap (and safe) date ideas for those who are single and willing to mingle.

“Equity” and “Equality” are used interchangeably but have vastly different outcomes. Join us this week as Dr. Charity Griffin helps us explore the difference between equity and equality when it comes to matters of education, how COVID-19 has shined a spotlight on issues relating to access to resources and where we go from here.

How many times have we heard (or unfortunately said) some version of, “Be a man” in response to a man showing vulnerability or perceived weakness? In this episode, we have straight talk with Todd Malloy about men, the stigma regarding seeking assistance with mental (and sexual) health issues and even get schooled on how to change our tune in approaching conversations.

Tune in to learn “the why” behind why many of us are not taking proper care of our health, what that can cost us physically and financially and why this week’s letter left one of us speechless.

Many of us struggle with weight, fitness and health; “it’s a lifestyle” after all. For some of us, it’s a constant battle against the bulge while others struggle to bulk up.

In this episode, we brought in two subject matter experts to discuss what “health” and “fitness” really mean, why many of us have a skewed view of what “healthy” looks like, and affordable solutions to help us reach our goals and make better nutritional choices.

We all know the phrase made popular by Sir Rick Ross, “You wasn’t with me shootin in the gym”. We use it colloquially when discussing the latest celebrity to go through an expensive divorce or custody proceeding. But what about those every day folks paying out to people who feel owed (more and more each time)?  In episode 3, we discuss Black Tax and the difference between being a blessing to others versus an enabler and sabotaging your finances in the process.

Everyone everywhere is feeling the impact of the Coronavirus. And the only  consistent thing about the information we receive daily is that it’s changing. In this bonus episode, the divas provide you with resources that can help our D&D Fam navigate the wealth of information out there.

Buckle up with the libation of your choice D&D Fam, it’s getting real! On this episode we’re discussing “Keepin Up with the Joneses”: What is the origin, and why are we spinning our wheels [and wasting money we may not have] chasing them? Quick and Lee also share some of their own personal thoughts and struggles of being trapped in the losing game of comparisons.
