What a wonderful way to celebrate Black History Month! In this week's episode, we discuss Avery Cunningham's debut novel, "The Mayor of Maxwell Street." Baddies, you know we love a good historical fiction piece! Join us as we offer Nelly some investigation tips and share our guesses about who the big bad wolf is on Maxwell Street. Although the story is fictional, we highlight many painful truths from our history and discuss how similar issues in our culture continue to affect us over 100 years later. We can’t wait to see what happens next!

Hey Baddies! We're done with "Black Girls Must Die Exhausted" by Jayne Allen. Our baddie friend Mariah joins us as we each compare what our expectations of the book were versus our thoughts after turning the final page. What kind of black girl are you? What kind of black girl do you want to be, if one word could sum it up? We answer these questions in our discussion of BGMDE. Listen and share your thoughts on this novel that's full of duality.

Happy New Year Baddies! We're kicking off 2025 (and Season 2) with a discussion on the first half of Jayne Allen's "Black Girls Must Die Exhausted." Black Girls, must we die exhausted? I think the hell not, but we're definitely not tired of reading up on what our protagonist, Tabitha, is going through as a bustling black professional woman who's just been diagnosed with fertility struggles. In this episode, we share our thoughts on Tabitha receiving such a heavy diagnosis, our observation of her relationships with her two best friends and what we believe should and will happen in her romantic life. Come join us for the conversation!
