  • 10. From Homeless to Comedy Queen ( p.s. try again tomorrow)

    This was such a fun episode! Here on the show is RnB artist Anayka Shepard (@anaykashe) as we enter into a showdown. Is Atlanta better than New York City? Are people nicer in the South or are they just more fake? We discuss. You decide. Then, the next Hot Girl of the episode is Kamilla Davis (@kdaviscomedy) opening our eyes to a new way of making jokes. She is frank about her experience with homelessness and how she uses her past to “save souls” with a new brand of comedy that is supportive, affirming and hilarious.

  • 3. Dark skin, melanin and a social media empire (p.s. normal is boring)
    Eboni’s friend and fellow actress, Amaya Armstrong (@amayaamichelle_), is here to chat about Women’s History Month and how we overcome internalized sexism to be stronger women. Known for his uplifting and positive videos, Quentin Agerr, is here to tell his experience with building up a positive, uplifting social media empire while overcoming colorism as a dark-skinned model.

    HOT GIRL HIGHLIGHT
    This week we are highlighting the Represent Asian Project, a news site and media organization that is centered around highlighting Asian voices. It was started by a group of Asian Canadian and Asian American women who are “passionate about celebrating, advocating and elevating Asian representation in various fields.”
    One of the key reasons we are seeing a spike in Asian hate crimes is because the Asian American and Asian Canadian experience are not normalized in the media. We don’t hear their voices. We don’t hear their stories. And we don’t hear their issues. There is no justice in silence. Representation matters and that’s why these women created this site. They wanted to see and hear stories of people who looked them. That is why I encourage all of you to check out their website and follow them on Instagram @representAsianproject. There you can find positive stories about Asians in the media. Share their posts. Draw attention and uplift their voices.

    HOW CAN I HELP TEXANS? 
    Over 4 million Texans were impacted by the winter storms in February. This meant that so many families lost their homes, their jobs and some lost all the food they had. With store shelves going bare, many families are turning to food banks in times of need. 
    Please take a moment to donate to the Central Texas Food Bank and help families in need all across the state.
