Okay, Now Listen

On this episode, we start by checking in on what happened in the month that we've been on our lil' hiatus. And since most of that time was spent with Jazmine Sullivan's “Heaux Tales” on repeat, we just had to get into our favorite tracks!

Then, we chat with our favorite Gen Z superstar, Zendaya, about her upcoming Netflix film, “Malcolm & Marie”. She talks about how the film came to be, her evolution from teen star to grown ass woman, and her honest take on how to handle growing up in the public eye.

Finally, we end the episode by celebrating some of our Unsung Black Heroes in honor of Black History Month. It's a very serious list, y'all.
