In this episode of NGL Bruh, we're checkin' in—on our friendships, our definitions of connection, and what it really means to be known.

Just because we kick it, chill, or laugh together... does that mean we're actually close? Or are we just familiar strangers in each other's lives? We dive into the difference between real friendships and performative closeness, and why so many of us settle for surface-level bonds in a world that rewards appearances over authenticity. We also explore the illusion of connection in the digital age, what true friendship feels like, and how to tell when someone actually sees you—not just your highlights.

And of course, we wrap it up with our Ask Ya Bruh question of the episode: Who in your life really knows you—and how did y'all get there?

Not gonna lie bruh… you're gonna wanna hear this.

In this episode of NGL Bruh, we're diving into what real representation looks like in Black communities. From the visibility of celebrities to the everyday impact of teachers, lawyers, and fathers, we're asking the real questions: Do we really need more famous role models—or do we need more present ones?

We break down why celebrities, while visible, aren't always accessible—and how that creates a gap in real-life influence. We talk about shifting the hero archetype in our communities, the importance of Black fathers both in the home and in the media, and why being intentional about who we uplift matters.

And of course, we end with our Ask Ya Bruh: Who was your first real-life role model growing up? Let us know who made a difference in your life in the comments section!

On this episode of NGL Bruh, we bring Terinn and Breze into the mix to tackle the age-old question: Can men and women really just be friends? 

From hidden feelings to platonic boundaries to how we'd feel about our partners having opposite-sex friends, nothing's off the table. 

Plus, in our "Ask ya Bruh" segment, we dig into whether a friendship can stay real if someone secretly wants more.

 Ngl bruh… you're gonna wanna hear this.

In this episode of NGL Bruh, we're getting real about love in today's world. From confusing comfort and attention for actual connection, to the performative mess that modern dating has become — we're breaking it all down. 

We talk about how social media is twisting expectations, why people might want to be chosen more than they actually want to choose wisely, and how poor communication has pushed a whole generation to rely on dating apps for something as deep as love.

And of course, we end with our Ask Ya Bruh: Do you think people today actually know what love is, or have we gotten used to calling comfort and attention love?

Not gonna lie bruh… you're gonna wanna hear this.

 

In this episode of NGL Bruh, we're diving deep into the college experience. 

From the hype of "campus life" to the harsh reality of debt, we're asking the real questions: Is college really worth it? Or is it just a scam unless you network and use the experience the right way?

We break down how degrees are losing value, why schools feel more like businesses than places of learning, and why real-world experiences and connections might matter more than the letters after your name.

And of course, we end with our Ask Ya Bruh: Looking back on your college experience, what would you add or remove from it? Let us know what you would change about your college experience in the comments section!
