We are back with Episode 67! For our most recent episode, the Hentations are discussing the COVID-19 vaccine. After one of the most draining years in human history, we're possibly seeing the proverbial light at the end of tunnel. However, not everyone is quite on the same page when it comes to the vaccine. Whether you’re all for taking it, hesitant about the effects, or flat out rejecting it, everyone has an opinion about getting vaccinated. We discuss why we believe it’s important to get the vaccine and our views on hesitancy in the Black community and beyond. Listen to the episode and share your thoughts on getting the vaccine with us!

We are back with episode 65, and for this episode your favorite co-hosts are taking a look at self- image. Whether you struggle with how you view your body or how you view your blackness, self-image is an issue that challenges all of us in some form or fashion. The Hentations examine some of our own difficulties in this area and provide advice on how we maintain a positive self-image in a world that always seems to change the standard.

Top of the year to you! We are back with the first episode of 2021, where we’re joined by Cha’Mia (@chamality) for a continuation of our previous convo on friends of the opposite gender. While we already gave you a man’s perspective on the issue, we decided to get a woman’s opinion and see how our thoughts on the topic may differ. Every time we have Cha’Mia on the show, we give you all a discourse that is both highly intelligent and hilarious. This time was no different. Listen to our latest episode and share your thoughts on social media!

And we are back with Episode 63! On our last episode of the year, the Hentations say goodbye and good riddance to 2020. From Kobe to COVID, this year has easily been one of the worst in recent memory. Despite what felt like terrible news every time that we turned on our phones, we’ve kept persevering and even found some bright spots. A huge bright spot for us has been continuing to build this podcast and share with the listeners. Listen to our 2020 send off and share your thoughts with us on social media. And don’t worry, we’re back and better than ever in 2021!

We are back for episode 62 (we’re out of number references at this point)! On the latest episode, your favorite co-hosts discuss defunding the police. While this topic has gained steam following the protests in the wake of the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, it’s a topic that’s been around for some time. We discuss the realities that come with defunding the police and the rhetoric surrounding it. We also examine the hard questions that are often left unanswered as people move from police defunding to police abolition. Listen to this week’s episode and share your thoughts on defunding the police. Also feel free to share any resources, you feel we overlooked!

We are back with Episode 61. After taking a brief detour to reflect on a COVID Thanksgiving and how to successfully lose a PS3 to an ex, we discuss the whitewashing of U.S history. Thanksgiving provides a great opportunity to think about the incomplete history lessons we receive in school that often ignore how these holidays impacted people of color. While we recognize these holidays in some fashion, we often only think about them as times to be with family and overlook (willingly for some) true historical context. How have holidays changed for you as you’ve grown up and learned more? Do you feel any attachment to them outside of familial memories? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts on social media!

And we are back with Episode 60!

The votes have all been cast and, despite what a certain person says, we do have a new president. On the latest episode, the Hentations talk about how we’re feeling now that the election is over. How did we get through election night? Are we hopeful that this will be the beginning of an American turning point? Do we fear that nothing will change for those vulnerable communities that need help the most? Listen to our thoughts for the next four years and share with us how you’re feeling post-election.

And we back! In our latest episode, your favorite co-hosts ask important questions about the role of materialism in relationships. Everyone likes to get something nice, but how much emphasis do we put on those things within our relationships? What level of gifts are you comfortable with giving within certain stages of a relationship? Why do men sometimes not feel comfortable asking for a gift? And, is anyone buying a Birkin? Save you some time for the last one, hell no (until we blow up). We do our best to answer the rest of the questions and more. Listen and share your thoughts with us on social media!
