The Unapologetically Black Podcast episodes

January 28, 2021 Life is not a Rom Com!
This week, Roshan, Leanne & Livs tackle the topic of emotional promiscuity? Is there such a thing? Does it only count as cheating if there is sex involved? How do you know if you are being emotionally promiscuous? The women share their thoughts on this emerging concept and share their thoughts on how single young Black Women are perceived by the public when they decide to date multiple people at once.
