While many are affected by suicide, unfortunately it is not a topic of conversations in a real way. Some people struggle with the idea of suicide, some hold their religious views tightly on the subject and others choose to not address it at all. With this episode we hope to start the conversation for those that have never had it and tackle how this subject impacts the African American community. Tell us in the comments what your perspective is.

Many of our youth have been labeled with having an Emotional Disturbance. What does this really mean and are we addressing the true issues? Our children are dealing with emotional disorders but are we simply putting a label on them and letting others define what that means? There are many misconceptions and feelings that come to mind when we discuss our youth and mental health. This episode is looking to address what many parents won't discuss or recognize: that our children need help.

This episode we're talking about the one thing most people are not thinking about when they get married, alimony and child support. We will try to define what is reasonable, what is too much and what is down right ridiculous. No one said being married is easy, but maybe getting divorced is harder. Join Angelique, Sadiqa and Shan as they discuss this very touchy subject.

What led to broken homes?

People have many ideas about what being a parent is. We receive many images and concepts from television, our parents and books written by doctors.

We previously talked about the 90 day rule with a male journalist who provided insight that he did not believe in it. I wanted to get the perspective of a woman as well. Also, I did some research to find some studies that proved (or disproved) the effectiveness of waiting and will also share the general feedback that I received by taking a few polls. Join us for a great conversation about why you (or should not) wait to have sex before commitment.

You hear the stories about people who have a mental illness, how they were diagnosed and how they got help. It can seem that as soon as they started taking medication it all became so simple. The truth is, it is a daily struggle that many people cope with in different ways, a daily struggle that many people feel they are losing the battle against daily. It becomes extremely difficult when things in life throws curveballs to maintain a healthy state of mind. That's what we will be discussing on this episode.
