  • S3 BONUS - Y'all are NOT Homeschooling!

    As everyone is being sequestered within their homes and faced with the task to provide their children with schooling at home, Shaniese and Takisha have some food for thought for the parents out there.

    If this is your first time joining us, welcome. We highly recommend listening to a few more episodes prior to providing us with your feedback on this episode. This episode is also just as long as other episodes. Although we like for our bonus episodes to be more brief, we felt this PSA was worth the length.
