We are back after a mental health week. As promised, this is a  recap of #loveislandUSA.  We discussed the lessons from the show. And of had some rants and randomness  as well. 

Congrats #jaleb

When was the last time you cried ? What are the benefits of crying ?

 As we discuss our experiences of crying, we also talk about what is mental health and normalizing talking about mental health.

As we explore the concept of a "type" and what it means to define a type, we learn what we actually mean by a type. Moreover, explore how one can be their type's type- if that's possible .

We draw some  examples from  #90day fiance, #marriedatfirstsight,#lovelisland and our lived experiences.

Wil graces us with his presence in this episode as discuss experiences of black women in particular addressing the stereotype about " black women having attitude". We use loveislandUS to put our conversation into context and explore the healing that needs to happen in order for black women and men to have better relationships. 

Thank you Wil for representing the brotherhood!

We explore financial literacy with a guest from Australia, putting into context experiences with money- how we learned about the values behind money and how we utilize money.  

What value does money have in  your life and how does it impact the way you navigate the world?

2020 has been a roller coaster ! We share the plans that have been put on hold and opportunities  that have emerged. 

We asked you to share some common stereotypes about Zimbabweans and you answered. We will be addressing these and talking about how we have responded to them and began to reframe how we understand " stereotypes". We are also celebrating Mandy's birthday ! 

We wouldn't be here without them,  So today,we are talking about all things fathers, father figures, active fathers, absent fathers, the ones who went to the corner store and never came back and everything in between (our typical definition of everything).  We are joined by aNdebebele maker and a Banger @_Bangerz

 Reflection: Do children deserve- yes I said  ! the same life style as their parents had when they were growing up or a better one?

We explore why the "right" person may only become the "right now" person if you are not addressing the underlying issues and childhood traumas that you are carrying. This is not meant to discourage you from finding the person that ticks all your boxes but recognize that there an long standing narrative about love that is already in play in your mind! 

What narratives about love do you have or have you learned from rom your culture, society and media?
