October 31, 2019 Women: Where's the wildest place you've ever had sex?
Have you ever had sex in your car? In the sea? Or even at work? We all have crazy sex stories, ex's that we would rather forget, some that we will never forget and the ladies bare all in this week's episode.

It’s important to normalise the topic of sex, especially with black women, so we are bringing together three professional women who are here to discuss sex openly and freely. From being a freak in the sheets to being spiritual and reading books - we can do it all!

October 19, 2019 Should 'black twitter' defend Meghan Markle? W/ Black Ballad and Nii Odarte
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, gave a rare glimpse into her personal life when she admitted that she has struggled to deal with the repercussions of being a new mother in the spotlight.
A snippet of her powerful interview with reporter Tom Bradby was released by ITV on Friday. The clip is a part of the British television channel's documentary, "Harry & Meghan: An African Journey," which will be released in the UK on Sunday.
In the video, Meghan talks about the issues she's grappled with as a new wife, mother, and duchess whose life has been judged and dissected by the media and public since she first began dating Prince Harry.
"Any woman, especially when they're pregnant, you're really vulnerable, and so that was made really challenging," Meghan said in the emotional video. "And then when you have a newborn, you know. And especially as a woman, it's a lot. So, you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed."

October 12, 2019 What's it like to be a male nanny?
Stereotypically, being a “manny” or male nanny might not be a career path many young men from Hackney would choose.
But Joss Cambridge-Simmons was 19 and working in Harrods when he decided to change tack and work in a nursery.
“It was a good job but my mum said I needed to find something I was interested in,” recalls Joss, now 30, of Downham Road, De Beauvoir.
“I knew I was good with children, because I had my two-year-old brother around and I was good with him. There was a job fair advertised in the Islington Gazette, and I got the job on the spot. I’ve been doing it ever since.”
In the last 11 years, Joss has worked in many nurseries including the Fire Station Community Nursery in Leswin Street, Stoke Newington. He has also worked as a youth worker using DJing to connect with the children, and a support worker in care homes for children with convictions and mental health issues.
But he decided to branch out and set up his own agency Jossy Care – named after the pet name he’s given by kids – because he was often unable to secure work through nanny agencies. Keen to address stereotypes in the childcare industry, Joss wants to raise awareness of the sexism he finds to be inherent.

October 04, 2019 59: What do we do with R Kelly? (Throwback episode)
R. Kelly is facing prostitution charges by prosecutors in Minnesota, who have alleged he solicited a teenager who asked him for an autograph in 2001.
According to county attorney Mike Freeman, Kelly invited the 17-year-old to his hotel room and offered her $200 (£164) to undress and dance with him.
After money was exchanged they had sexual contact but not intercourse, Freeman claimed.
Kelly's lawyer Steve Greenberg said the charges were "beyond absurd".
His colleague Doug Anton said it was not clear that R. Kelly had ever met his alleged victim and that the charges might be a case of "revisionist history".
The R&B singer is now facing criminal proceedings in three US states.

October 04, 2019 60: Are black people victims? W/ Nels Abbey and Jordan Jarrett Bryan
Deep-seated racial inequality in the UK has been laid bare in a new report exposing "entrenched" disparities between different ethnic communities.
Significant differences in the life outcomes of British ethnic minority and white people revealed in the Government’s racial disparity audit have prompted Theresa May to urge institutions to help ensure race is never a barrier.
A considerably higher unemployment rate among black, Asian and minority ethnic people than white British adults and lower home ownership among Bangladeshis and black people are among the findings to come out of the report.
How do we become victors with so many things seemingly stacked against us
