Welcome back to #MelanatedMonday ! On this episode, I bring on another guest. This time instead of my husband, it's one of my best-friends. We have a real conversation about what it means to be a friend and how that definition may have changed for each of us as we grew older. It's not too often you hear black women sit down and be raw about the struggles of friendship. We hope this episode changes that narative.

But let's be honest, this episode gave what needed to be gave and I want yall to sit on this one until next week. If no other day, TODAY, be extra black af and extra proud af! Happy Independence Day to all my brown and black people listening.

Welcome back to #MelanatedMonday!

On this episode you guys will finally get to meet Malik. If you don't know who that is, go back to episode one to get an summary of our story. This episode is not in the best chronological order, but when you've been together as long as we have, the story gets a little blurry. Nonetheless, you'll hear us recap our story from the very beginning and bring you all the way to where we are currently as well as what we've learned so far.

TRIGGER WARNING!!!!! (Infertility)

On this episode, I will be open and honest with you all about our struggles to conceive. At 21 years old I was diagnosed with PCOS and it has been a challenge ever since. Not what you would expect from the girl who looks like she has it all right? Wrong, 1 in every 8 women struggles with some type of infertility and unfortunately, I was that 1. Infertility is such a taboo topic in the black community that I had to shed light on it. Even if it meant picking at my own old wounds.
