In this 15th episode, Dena and Aprylle discuss films that are frequently referenced in the Black lexicon and are, therefore, must-see movies. Which movies are they? When is the appropriate time to share them with our children? All this is discussed. ALSO..Aprylle demonstrates her poor facial recognition skills and mistakes Lou Gossett, Jr. for Richard Roundtree. Get it together, girl.

Dena and Aprylle jump off the conversation with Summer Walker and continue talking about our attitudes toward mental health. How does stress affect our health? How can we cope with anxiety?

A lot of people have had a lot of things to say about the Harriet movie that was released last month. How much of it is true? Dena and Aprylle decided to see for themselves and share their answers with you. SPOILER WARNING...We tell it all. Should Cynthia Erivo have been cast? Is there a white savior? What about misogynoir?

This week, Dena and Aprylle reflect their hair journeys since they were young girls. We know Black women experience joy and pain, sadness and strength when it comes to their hair, and these ladies have chosen to share their own crown tales.

In episode ten, Dena and Aprylle welcome their first guest: poet, educator, and self-proclaimed hip-hop guru, Anon the Griot. Anon asks the ladies to help him understand the line between chivalry and chauvinism.

This week Dena and Aprylle respond to a question from a listener. Is there a myth about "fast" girls in Black families? Let's talk about it!

Do you tell your sons it's okay to have "alone" time? Do you give your daughters the same message? This week, Dena and Aprylle discuss a tweet by @darealbuttercup in which she states she will be gifting her daughter a vibrator to encourage her to cultivate and understand her own sexual awakening. Is this okay or is it going to far? It gets real this week folks.

Sis Sequoia Holmes wrote an article called Black Women Aren’t Allowed To Be Introverted (https://www.bese.com/black-women-arent-allowed-to-be-introverted/) so Dena and Aprylle will discuss it the need for Black women to be who others need us to be. Why are these expectations on us both in and outside of our community?

Aprylle and Dena watched Netflix's "Otherhood" starring Angela Bassett, Patricia Arquette and Felicity Huffman and on this episode they contemplate the fears and challenges that come with being a mother. **WARNING** This episode is full of spoilers.

Also, there's a brief discussion of Rapsody's newly released "Eve". We love that Black Girl Magic!
