The fallout from the US Supreme Court ruling last month that overturned Roe vs Wade, a decision that had guaranteed safe, legal abortions in America since 1973, is being felt across the country, particularly Black women.

This week, law professor, Carliss Chatman joins Leanne to discuss the impact of the reversal of Roe v Wade. Carliss explains what the reversal means from a legal perspective and describes it as a tool of power that white men wield over women's bodies.

As the discussion continues, they explore the domino effect of the reversal on access to contraception and LGBTQ+ rights, as well as global implications for women's rights in other countries.

Finally, Carliss offers midwifery as a key consideration in what what we can do to negate the devastating impact of the overturning of Roe v. Wade

This week, Leanne has an inspiring conversation with the owner of Black-owned Luxury Skincare brand SKNMUSE, Ezinne Iroanya.

With her love of skincare grounded in childhood memories of her mother and aunties slathering shea butter on her face, Ezinne developed SKNMUSE by listening to the Black Women in her life and community about what was missing from the market. Today, SKNMUSE has been used and celebrated by everyone from Issa Rae to Beyonce.

This episode is for the girl who is going to church, but feels as though she still isn't getting what she needs. The sermon was great, but not applicable to her in this season of her life. In this episode, I shine a light on why we need God and therapy, too. I create a space where guilt is not of service but permission is grated to go see a therapist and still go to church, too. I even tell you the reason why the church mothers are guilt tripping you for even considering sitting on a therapist's couch, and how to deal with the remarks going forward.
