October 22, 2020 Excuse Me, I'm Voting ft. Yandy Smith-Harris
America has taken our vote and run with it without ever fully acknowledging us but this year we’re not only demanding to be seen but we’re on the ballot. As we continue our fight for equity and a seat at the table we have a real conversation about our role as community leaders, our consistent instinct to be activist and allies for ALL and a chat with Yandy Smith-Harris about being on the front lines and what she wants to see happen if her Howard classmate is elected.

October 13, 2020 Changing The Game ft. Chiney Ogwumike
While sports are vital to most college experiences, HBCUs generally put the actual game at the bottom of the Homecoming list. But, as more of our top athletes commit to Black colleges and Universities and social justice conversations play out on and off the court, it's time to dive into the link between sports culture and Black culture today. We’re talking about what it means to be Black in sports, why Black women seem to be left behind even though we are always first, and how we set ourselves up for success after the stadium lights turn down.

October 06, 2020 For My Sisters ft. Mara Brock Akil
As Black women, the pledge that we make to each other is a lifelong bond. Our sisterhood in action is witnessed by taking care of each other and nowhere is that more prevalent than in OUR sororities. In this episode we’ll chat about the definition of sisterhood at HBCUs, the misconceptions we had of Black girls in White sororities, and how a legacy driven mindset can empower you. We’ll also chat with the woman that showed us every aspect of what being a Girlfriend looks like, the one and only Mara Brock Akil.

July 30, 2020 Black Women Are Essential feat. Kiersey Clemons
In this special bonus episode, we're reading off Black women's resume and demanding the credit we deserve for keeping ourselves (AND everyone around us) together. Black women are essential to this world, but are we really treating ourselves like we are? It’s time for an honest talk about setting boundaries, the self-talk myths that keep us up at night, and why rest is so damn complicated. We also check in with Antebellum actress Kiersey Clemons for an *essential* conversation about preserving our peace, giving up privacy for queer representation, and why we need more Black girls on the golf course.

In this episode, we're taking on the A word: Allyship.
As we face a reckoning within and around the Black community, we're linking up for a special "just family" conversation to talk allyship and what it means to us as Black women in media today.

June 12, 2020 For The Culture? feat. Amanda Seales
In this week's episode, we're asking ourselves: Can the Black legacy be multifaceted? And who exactly gets to decide?
We're joined by Insecure star and self-described 'truth teller' Amanda Seales to talk about the complications of Black excellence, who's allowed to win, and what happens when one of us stumbles. So pick your players, because we're taking on our biggest icons, caping for our messiest problematic faves, and debating who's *really* for the culture.
