Divorce. Infidelity. Stress of all types. There are few experiences worse than feeling like you have put in so much yourself into something and it ends up betraying you.

There are so many people in the same situation as you who have managed to move forward without turning into an angry bitter shell of their former selves. We know you have more questions than answers but that's where we come in. Join us as we journey through healing after infidelity while trying to decide if there is any real value in trying to save your relationship or marriage after all you've been through (and if so, how?).

As a single person in 2022 it's difficult enough to meet people, not to mention now we're in a whole pandemic which makes people less social and less inclined to be in close proximity to others went out socializing!

The great debate in the black community!?!? Do gender roles really matter and are we losing sight of that in the black family? Some women think if they make the money then they make the rules, while our black men desire a submissive partner that is ready to serve him like a king and who makes more money should never matter. Or does it? So who is right? Does the breadwinner lead the household or does the man keep his top spot regardless of the finances of his partner? Some women say that it does not matter and others refuse to submit to a man that’s not a provider. Join Nish and Kokoa as they dive into this comical gender roles conversation with co-hosts Lee in the jungle with us today representing the modern day black king. Grab your cocktails because this is an episode you do not wanna miss.
