In this episode of Single Black Female, we sip tea (hot and iced — it is New England after all) and we unpack the quirks, charms, and quiet codes of friendship in the Northeast. From the art of the “polite-but-distant”, we explore what it’s like to build connections in a region where warmth takes time but runs deep once it’s there. Expect humor, real talk, and a dash of side-eye at the cultural etiquette of New England friendships.

Single Black Female New England

In the premiere episode of Single Black Female New England, we’re tackling a question that too many Black women have heard in the region: "Are you too intimidating to date?"

Join your hosts as we unpack the loaded language behind "intimidation," why confidence and ambition are often misread in Black women, and how regional culture in New England adds another layer to the dating experience. We’ll get real about what it feels like to dim your light (or refuse to), and how to navigate the fine line between self-protection and vulnerability in relationships.

Expect candid storytelling, cultural insight, and maybe a little side-eye for the “nice guys” who swear they’re not intimidated—but somehow never call back.

Let’s talk dating, identity, and owning your power—without apology.
