Feminism is the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the belief in the social, economic, and political equality of sexes.

The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.

The doctrine advocating social, political and all other rights of women equal to those of men.

We believes today’s society has changed the true definition of feminism. From our experience we have noticed feminism has become much more about hating men then empowering women. We advocate for women to be treated equal in certain areas, but we do not support feminist that tear down or bully men. This episode we are challenging your prospectives on feminism and it’s meaning. Does modern feminism look different now than when it first started?

Racism, oppression, and segregation are real issues that many black Americans have endured for years and are still encountering today. In this episode, @liv_different22 and @oblack11 challenge each other's perspective on these topics as they discuss the following questions:

Does racism continue to hold us back in today's society? Is it possible for us to ever overcome racism? Are there any concrete ways to navigate through racism?

After tuning in, share this episode with your family and friends to possibly challenge their perspectives!

Police brutality is a civil rights violation that occurs when a police officer inflicts excessive and, sometimes unnecessary, force upon a civilian. It is a continuous act that unfortunately continues to strike in minority communities. Many African Americans, such as George Floyd, Trevon Martin, Breonna Taylor, and Tyre Nichol, have been killed due to police brutality. This type of brutality continues to target African Americans without justice served. It is time to educate ourselves and come together to stop the attack on African Americans because nothing else is working. Blacks are being shot down in the streets by police officers every month, which is unacceptable and has to stop. Aren't you all tired of turning on the news and hearing another one of our brothers and/or sisters has lost their life due to police brutality? We decided to share our experiences with police brutality and discuss solutions for police brutality and other unlawful actions. Follow us on IG @nocuffsnochains

Accountability, both from within and externally, is an important skill in achieving one’s goals. The word accountability is usually avoided because it’s not something that is taught at an early age.

So in this episode, we talked about it because we believe more of us need to start holding ourselves, and others, accountable for our actions. because where there is no accountability there will also be no responsibility. Follow us on Instagram @nocuffsnochains

All over the world, women are enraged about the Supreme Court overturning the abortion rights case, “Roe vs Wade”. In this episode, we discussed this overturning and were joined by two special guests, Nae and Sydnee. As a podcast facilitated by two black men, we felt it was only right to discuss this issue with two other black women who happen to be a doctor and a marketer/life coach. These are two black women that rock! You can follow them both on Instagram @soulfulsyd_ and @naebid_ You can also follow us on all social media platforms @nocuffsnochains.

“Loyalty: a strong feeling of support or allegiance to something”

Have you ever been loyal to someone or something and the loyalty wasn’t reciprocated? It’s a big key to relationships, but how can you be loyal to anything if you aren’t loyal to yourself? Even in our community, we’re unloyal to each other. Do we have to build trust with our community to be loyal to one another? (We discuss this topic in our new podcast !)

We want to give a special shout-out to Style and Brill for joining us and discussing this topic.
