New Phone, Who Dis?

Major and Lise are back! In this episode, the ladies talk Hillary and #BlackWomenDidThat, Mary J. Blige's divorce and its (possible) silver lining, the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Rio and more in our pop culture segment. For Let's Talk About It Sis, Lise is very disappointed in Malia's twerk, Major is proud of our president using the "F" word, and the ladies discuss how male ownership of female bodies is toxic and dangerous. There's also a new geeky love offering, an interesting trip to a "resort" burns Major's biscuits, and all the #BlackGirlMagic in Rio gets our love.
