This episode is a love letter to all the ambitious Black girls who are burning bright even when we don't always get the support they deserve. And a love letter to Beyonce as possibility model for ambition and the slow burn it takes to achieve real success.

In this episode, Salem and Akaninyene begin the conversation with the frustrations of being back in school for a terminal degree, and of being treated carelessly in their respective professional pursuits.

They deep dive the Black girls who have been winning all summer long in entertainment and sports, and what that means to them in their own personal journeys. They end the conversation with an interesting listener question about friendships with exes, and some rather nerdy rabbit holing into the world of damsel flies.
