UNCK!

Joined by Jessica Ng, UNCK!'s final episode of Season 2 uses the UNCK House to discuss our experience with colorism. 

Tsilala joins the Teen Summit Youth Podcast led by Ms. Rachelle and 8+ Maryland youth willing to have uncomfortable conversations.  Tsilala talks with the youth about their reactions to uncomfortable conversations. What obstacles come up for them and they discuss how each person navigates that tension. 

Teen Summit is supported by the community service organization Lake Arbor Foundation.  More can be found at their site: www.thelafi.org

We're back with Facing Your Anxiety! 
Tsilala and Xann are joined by Dylan, Marquis, DeVynne, and Lea to discuss the different ways we approach anxiety. 
We get into, normalizing anxiousness when it shows up within your relationships so it doesn't overwhelm you. Also what we wish America as a whole would prioritize when it comes to America's Anxiety.

UNCK! Season 2 is all about working through the tools that help us get through uncomfortable conversation. 
Tsilala and Xann lead us through an intro to 'UNCK! House'. Our own navigational tool for uncomfortable conversations. Then, Melissa C joins us (in a segment recorded in December 2020) to discuss the difficult conversations that have to happen with our family and friends who have different political views and shut down in conversations around policy. 

Join us as we get into the UNCK!

Another Host Only R&D episode!
Tsilala and Xann discuss the last three episodes in our Chunk C of UNCK, election thoughts and what we're looking forward to in Season 2 of UNCK!
It's been an awesome first season. Thanks for joining us on the ride. 

We're back with more 'I agree and disagrees', 'but wait!'s and much more in todays episode. Isadora, Bryan, Peter and Cameron are back to discuss their cynicism and a little hope on the effectiveness of DEI committees.

Everyone's including a DEI committee in their workplace now (albeit late to the game but thanks for joining!). But are these DEI workplace initiatives even working? Xann and Tsilala talk to two employers and two employees from different industries about the effectiveness of DEI committees in their workplace. We break down the meaning of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and share our experiences with race and gender inequity under cis white male leadership in hopes to find some idea on where to start fixing a system designed to 'include' people into a never changing 'white space'.
