It's true, we're evolving. We're so excited to announce our new segment for the show called "Sweet Tea." This segment is where we discuss trending topics, tea, gossip 👀, and whatever else is popular with the masses at the moment. Our first installment of "Sweet Tea" is appropriately named "It takes two to tangle," and if you keep up with social media, I'm sure you can agree that is speaks for itself!

In this episode we discuss: 

• Entanglement aka "Put it on him, make him wanna marry me"
• Is Jill Scott Fine?
• Saweetie engaging in hood cosplay

This week's episode is archived episode that was originally recorded directly after our "We're All In This Together?" episode discussing allyship outside of the Black community. This episode is a follow up of that as an analysis of the issues we need to discuss within the Black community and given the recent murders of Black people and the general unrest within the world we tabled this episode's release to today. In this episode we discuss elitism, college vs no college, and colorism.

As the great Tina Turner once said, "what's love got to do with it?" In this episode? EVERYTHING. We hope you all are taking care of yourselves mentally and taking given the state of the country. Our last episode was pretty loaded with sadness and anger - rightfully so. We decided to pivot this week and discuss something a little more light hearted yet informative. We discuss what our teenage selves thought we'd be doing, our love languages, and attachment style.

From George Floyd to protesting to looting to the aftermath of the events of the last two weeks, we're tired of having to repeat ourselves but we're using this platform to speak on the things that matter.

The fight doesn't stop here, make sure to keep saying their names, seeking justice for those who are no longer here, and putting pressure on the system to change!

In today's episode, we discuss the age old battle of "POC" vs "Black." Spoiler alert, they're not interchangeable and never will be. From tik toks to police brutality to the dos and donts, we not only discuss the terms and how to use them but also how anti-blackness is global and the Black struggle is not a free for all for "POCs."
