UNCK! “Me and My Vagina” is an in-depth discussion about internal genitalia, period tracking, birthing and why this topic is so uncomfortable to talk about. Check out this episode on our youtube channel to see the parts of the internal genitalia we identified in our Name Game! We also have a special UNCK-Ed segment where Xann and Tsilala share inclusive language and an apology for not consistently using it in this conversation. 

Thank you to: 

Lucia, Kenna and Jose for joining us for this UNCK!

Xann and Tsilala go back down memory lane in a full Reflect and Deconstruct episode. The episode focuses on what UNCK! has learned, can get better at, and your hosts favorite moments. 

We're joined by a big group to discuss how we overcome body insecurity, societal demands of our bodies without our permission and tricks to get us out of body shaming. 

Today's episode get's into Part 2 of Letting Go of Our Heroes. John Clay III, Nay Nay, Ben and Rashaun join us to talk about our relationship to cancel culture, how personal family heroes became human and more. 

Part 1 of Letting Go Of Our Heroes is all about how we put celebrities and politicians on a pedestal, dangerously crossing the line into idolism. Our guests, John Clay III, Mariel (Nay Nay), Ben, and Rashaun discuss how people become heroes and their effect on society. 

Join us with our guests, Jordiana, Ines, Ben and Tylar and Olisya Grant from Toronto's Matrix Legacy to discuss Money Management and our Responsibility with how we use money during a pandemic.

We jump back in with Cameron, Heather and Xann with our pro's and con's with staying in America. Then we have a special edition of R&D where Ricky shares with us his reason for leaving UNCK! The two Hosts discuss how to get through the 'unckyness' of a working relationship fizzling out in an established friendship. 

Tsilala and Ricky are joined by Cameron, Heather and Xann to discuss Fight or Flight. The long standing question on whether or not Black American's should feel free to leave America for better pastures. Or, should they stay to join the constant fight for civil rights?
