In this episode, we spill the tea on our toxic traits and how we cope, giggle about that one TikToker who's always "broke," but keeps buying fancy stuff, dive into the Miss Zimbabwe controversy and get real about race, history and our own naivety when it comes to racism.  We explore the toxicity lurking behind the screens, Twitter fingers , getting dragged and get vulnerable about the struggles of online visibility, and why it's so intimidating to share your thoughts online. Things get spicy as we tackle the internet's newest dilemma, the "credit card saga" and  the age-old debate of splitting bills and money etiquette. #It'sHonestlyAMouthful
