Welcome, welcome, welcome! In this week's episode, Jess is gleefully and cautiously optimistic about the future of the country but also wondering what we need to do to help our communities to thrive. She's also wondering why non-Black POC can't let Black folks have anything and for that reason, call her Black, not a person of color.

This week's fashion tip was brought to you by an article Jess found on the Zoe Report here: https://www.thezoereport.com/p/how-to-keep-sweaters-knits-in-shape-to-stop-pilling-sagging-stretching-40900430

Hey hey hey! A little late but here nonetheless. This week, Jess is discussing some of the factors that go into how we define luxury, why y'all are so mad at Saweetie, and whether or not it's productive for us as Black people to participate in luxury fashion, given that it is an oppressive system.

This week Jess is switching gears and offering some fashion trivia instead of a fashion tip since we are still in a pandemic! Also, can we have a family meeting about the sensitivity surrounding "cancel culture," which kind of isn't a thing?
