  • Ep. 22 - MLK Jr. - The Man, The Myth, The Legacy

    We have a dream that one day people will stop only talking about Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr's (or is it Rev. Dr....?) "I Have A Dream" speech, and will start talking about his legacy as a whole.

    On today's episode we wanted to take a moment to pay homage to the man by talking about some of the myths surrounding him and his legacy. 

    A peaceful man who called for unity, but not at the expense of Black liberation, but for Black liberation, and the betterment of the American people.

  • Ep. 21 - Therapy with Dr. Chloe Wright

    On today's episode we are having a conversation with Emily's oldest bestie, Dr. Chloe Wright, a Psychologist Candidate who has been passionate about mental health and wellness in marginalized communities for most of her life. 

    We discuss the barriers on the road to quality mental health resources for communities of color, and all of the different intersectionalities within those communities. From lack of providers that reflect the community, to the fact the the theories that are taught to providers in school come from cis white men, quality therapy can feel unattainable to many people.

  • Ep. 20 - Wellness

    What the hell is wellness? More importantly…what does it look like in a time of uprising?

    On today’s episode Bri and Emily open up about their struggles with staying well while taking in new and difficult information. 

    We all go through a transition period when new information is presented to us. It’s almost like going through the 5 stages of grief. What we are grieving is the person we were, because once you learn the truth about the world we live in, there really is no going back.

    Stay mad, but be well.

  • Ep. 17 - Cancel Cancel Culture

    In today's episode we get very personal and raw. Cancel culture is complicated, and discussing it is no different. How do we hold people accountable, while also leaving room for grace and growth? We don't have the answers, but we have a lot to say! We are learning, just like you are...so don't cancel us, ok?
