Still Dope Podcast

Hey folks welcome back to episode 14 of Still Dope 

Shahidah and Tanya pay a small tribute to Chadwick Boseman and the impact his short career has had on many Black people around the world. He played our heroes but he stood alone as the Black Panther and brought us all into his world of Wakanda. His presence will be missed. His strength will forever be a symbol for all of us. Wakanda Forever!

Also up for discussion is the wonderful gift of the Brandy and Monica in their Verzuz Battle. It was a great night to go back to the 90s and relive what felt like a bit of heaven in comparison to 2020. (We in September already but this year has felt like five and one month all in one. CRAZY)

Remember folks get out and vote, make sure your peoples are registered to vote, volunteer to ensure our vote because if voting didn't matter they wouldn't try so hard to make sure we couldn't vote.

Welcome back to another episode of Still Dope with Shahidah & Tanya!

On this episode Shahidah and Tanya discuss the new season of Married At First Sight New Orleans (lowkey obsessed), WAP (we're all for it) and why Megan Thee Stallion felt she needed to not call the police on that lowlife who shot her (we get it boo but we don't want that trash to get away with shooting you) because I highkey STAN her!

Welcome back to episode 11

This episode Shahidah and Tanya talk about entanglements being a part of the new American Marriage or is that just with Will and Jada. Is monogamy dead or an antiquated idea?

Also we end with the fabulousness that is Beyonce and Black is King!

Hello Lovely Followers. It has been a minute but we had some technical difficulties so we are uploading an older episode but the sad thing is not much has changed since the weeks we recorded this. Life in these Fractured United States...its too much. New Episode will also be published later today

Welcome back! This episode was recorded last month but we are very excited to share it especially as we hope to encourage our people to support black entrepreneurs.

Today we have a special episode of Still Dope with Perform Younger trainer Derek Carter! 

Derek speaks with us about the importance of keeping up an exercise regimen after a certain age. With the world being in so much upheaval we may forget how this all affects our bodies and mental state. We learn the importance of exercise and nutrition and get tips on what we can do to stay in fit and Perform Younger.

Tanya and Shahidah discuss the recent developments and anger over the murder of George Floyd by police. Coming on the heels of Breyonna Taylor and Auhmad Aubrey yet another black man is slaughtered by police and like many of you we are angry and tired of the same old white shock and rhetoric that enables so many racist officers to rain hate on us daily!

What has changed from the viciousness of the evil unleashed on the unarmed peaceful protest of the marches in the 1960s? 50 years later and the same shit!!

It has been a long sixty-four plus days of the Covid19 quarantine and so much of America has been exposed. The unjust justice system, the racism, the broken political system, and the privilege of white America.  It's all just a mess.

We have watched on video a black man getting hunted and shot down all because he was jogging and supposedly looking through a construction site with zero accountability for the two men responsible. We read about a woman being shot eight times in her own home because the Kentucky police are so incompetent and racist they led a brigade of men NOT to bring a suspect in for justice but to shoot down a man who was a suspect. They had the wrong apartment, the wrong apartment complex and the actual suspect had been apprehended hours ago. We watched live footage of white people marching while fully armored with machine guns, yelling at police officers, and threatening state workers YET not a single body was thrown to the ground, not a single body arrested...the police stood there and took the abuses yet we all watched how they responded to Black Lives Matters marchers. These sixty-four plus days have shown a lot and many of us are feeling emotionally drained, emotionally abused, and emotionally crippled. 

As a people, we preserve through a lot. We get knocked down, get up, and still manage to find happiness but we shouldn't STILL be enduring these punches, this abuse, the level of savagery inflicted on us. Black trauma is real. Therapy is needed. Self-love is not a given. We need to stand u and stand with each other because this pandemic has shown that we are all we got!!!

Today Shahidah and Tanya dive into black hair care, having our hair policed and accepting our natural. 

And of course, a recap of Married At First Sight Reunion Show which was a hot mess.

Welcome back to STILL DOPE! 

Tanya and Shahidah give their update on how they are doing during this quarantine day 999 or something like that!

Also, they discuss the rift folks are having with P Diddy and whether or not he fat-shamed Lizzo this weekend!

We want to hear from you if you have been fat shamed, is this a common thing now?

Shahidah retells an Instagram story about a black woman who goes on a blind date only to find out the dude did so as a dare to 'take a pig out to dinner' WTF?
