December 02, 2021 The Real Tea on Reality TV ft. Porsha Williams
Let's face it, Black women own pop culture, and reality TV. And for Black women on reality TV, we ask "what is the physical and mental cost to be the boss?" As more Black women ascend to reality TV stardom, let’s have a conversation about the perception of us on screen, the stigmas attached, who deserves their flowers and who needs a bigger check. To add to the discussion, we have a very special guest that you do NOT want to miss! Yes, your favorite Georgia Peach - entrepreneur, personality and BFF (in your head) and now author, Porsha Williams. We discuss her journey on the Real Housewives of Atlanta and she shares an authentic lens of who she is today through her new book, The Pursuit of Porsha.

November 18, 2021 Hit That Note BUT Secure The Bag
It's no secret that Black women are doing the damn thing in music, PERIOD. We are in a time where your daily playlist might include Megan Thee Stallion, Saweetie, H.E.R., Jazmine Sullivan, Chloe Bailey, Baby Tate, Normani and Flo Milli to name a few. As we close the gap within an industry that has been hard to navigate for us, we are taking ownership and diversifying the bag. The rise of Black women has also played a vital role in providing us with beautiful soundtracks of authentic stories that hold us together. But we also have a few questions: are they getting the proper credit, who deserves their flowers NOW and who signed off on Whitney Houston's hologram, because we know it wasn't her.

November 11, 2021 Don’t Play With Black Twitter ft. Sasheer Zamata
Black Twitter...That’s the whole tweet. In this episode, we're diving into social media, accountability, and why cancel culture just isn't giving what it's supposed to give. How do we make sure Black creators are getting credit for their work AND hold others accountable for their words at the same time? Hear us out on this one because we're done with the notes app apologies and looking for real action within the community – even if it includes a lil healthy bullying. We add extra heat to the Unbothered roundtable with the witty and wonderful Sasheer Zamata from ABC's, Home Economics and Hulu's Woke. She gives us a lesson on accountability culture, the role of comedians today, and tells us why she doesn't follow anyone on social media. Not even Beyonce.

November 04, 2021 Relationship Gold Part 2 ft. Niecy Nash
Hold up a minute, y'all thought we were finished!? We are back with part two of our Relationship Gold series, and the gems are reloading, so take a listen to part one to make sure you're ready for this round. In this episode, we bring you another conversation on relationships – this time we're talking about building and sustaining them, as we consider if and why marriage and monogamy are still important to us. Do we still need it? How do we navigate it? Will we be the breadwinners as Black women and WHY are we even trying to win in a relationship in the first place?? Then we dig in with the hilarious and uber talented Niecy Nash, who answers all of these questions and more, reflects on being her own best advocate in front of and behind the camera, AND shares why her marriage with Jessica Betts is the first time she's ever felt fully and completely seen.

October 21, 2021 Relationship Gold Part 1 ft. Joy Ofodu
It’s officially cuffing season! We’ve all heard of #relationshipgoals, but today we are talking about Relationship GOLD. Yes, gems, nuggets, diamonds! In part one of this two part episode mining session, it’s time to discuss the nuggets we need to navigate the dating space. And we asked our fave dating digital content creator and mastermind Joy Ofodu to pull up to the roundtable on this one to break it down with us. Who are the people we trust for relationship advice (and don’t!), and what exactly are our deal breakers? What does a healthy cuffing season look like and how can we normalize those green flags as Black women when we’re often only handed red ones. And really, don’t we all just deserve to be fed mangos in the sun on picnic dates? Tune in and be prepared to take notes. Spoiler alert, this episodes "Don't @ Me" will leave you with the feeling of hope.

October 07, 2021 Party Over Here ft. Yvonne Orji
Ayyyeeee…Where the party at?! Whether it's the first pure joy of the first 30 seconds of the Swag Surf, HBCU homecomings, the family bbq or a kick-back, we can make any gathering a joyous occasion. In this custom episode presented by Target, we’ll dig into the sacred space that is the Black party, various social settings, and why we all have that friend who NEEDS to request songs in the DJ booth.

September 23, 2021 Black Luxury ft. Elaine Welteroth
We can never deny that the style, swag, and extra seasoning we bring elevates everything we do to luxury status. In this episode, we're breaking down the concept of luxury and what it means for us. Our dollars have power and our style transcends the culture, yet we still lack the equity we deserve in the luxury industry. How is it that “Black Luxury” is still undefined and why doesn’t luxury seem to love us back?? And really – what does luxury even mean: is it logos from head to toe, a trip to the Maldives, or just some time with the crew, ourselves, and our favorite Black-owned products. Let's discuss. Then, we have a chat with fashion icon and boss, Elaine Welteroth, who gives us her stance on fashion, Black luxury, shifting priorities, and the best wheels for auntie season.

As we head back to work, school, and well, reality, we're talking about a reboot. We are pressing the restart button on our lives this fall, and getting real about what exactly we're doing. But what does reality mean now? What lessons have we learned and unlearned? How are we moving forward as individuals and as a community? From summer expectations in love, life, work, and friendship to why we don't have more men crying in the rain for us, we're heading into this new season with clear boundaries, love for each other, and a little something called discernment. So, let's reboot the timeline!
