Have you had a "hoe phase?" Do you believe that every person should have a phase or opportunity in life to completely explore their sexuality and preferences?  In continuation of our "Let's Talk About Sex" series Diamond and Raedyance join the podcast talk "hoe phases" (sexual liberation/promiscuity for women in the dating scene.) Each of our hosts will address whether we had hoe phases or not and what kinds of sexual shenanigans we've gotten into.  Join the conversation by using #gooduptuesday on social media or tagging @gooduppod.

Do you believe that Black women should be "Black first," "woman first," or is the combination of both inescapable? This week we've dropped an additional episode to discuss the violence, misogyny, and erasure Black women face. From the shooting of rapper Megan thee Stallion, viral videos depicting other instances of physical violence against Black women on social media, relative silence toward police violence against Black women, and more - we're asking the question of whether or not the Black community truly values its women and what it will take for things to change.  Join the conversation by using #gooduptuesday on social media or tagging @gooduppod.
