URL vs IRL

Black women don't get a day off from judgement - and sometimes it comes from our own. 

In this episode we switch it up - three cousins  (Bri, Langston, and Alexis)  unpack the real, raw and often unspoken issues black women STILL face on a daily basis:

Feeling too mixed or not black enough, judgement for how we wear our hair, code switching , identity politics, interracial dating and being side eyed by both sides.

This is about true lived experience , messy middle grounds  and pressure to preform blackness "correctly"  so if you've ever felt policed by your own community, this episode is for you . 

We've all seen the cozy cafes on the internet, the latte art etc, but what happens when you actually follow the trend of opening a cafe and it nearly breaks you?

In this episode of URL vs IRL, I sit down with Lauren and Ryan, the married duo behind Evermore, one of the most beloved cafés in Burlington. We talk about starting a business with zero barista experience, surviving the pandemic, working 7 days a week for years, and yes—catching customers cheating in their café… Sheesh 

If you’ve ever said “I want to open a cute coffee shop,” this one’s for you.

Better late than never !

Todays episode is a big one even though its short form. 

In this episode your host bri dives deeper on her life offline journey and decides to take a big step with the podcast and move to biweekly episodes. But don't worry! it's not you... it's me. This is going to be a better chapter that will give her more time to live life and pour her creative soul into this passion project without being burnt out . Hoping that every supporter here is understanding and loving and loyal enough to stick and stay .Thank you all so much for your support over this first year of podcasting . It has truly been a pleasure. 

xoxo bri

See you on the 17!!

What actually happens when you log off for real? In this episode, your host Bri gets brutally honest about deactivating her social media—no vague “taking a break” notes, no dramatic goodbye posts, just the messy truth. From phantom-scroll withdrawals to the weird freedom of disappearing from the feed, she unpacks what life really looks like offline. Is it peaceful? Is it lonely? Is it a rebrand or a breakdown? Let’s talk about how social media shapes our identity, relationships, and what happens when you finally hit “deactivate.”

In this weeks express episode bri has a reoccuring guest - her very first ever guest! Sara Haro , and bri talk very candidly about what its REALLY like to travel for work and all of the ups and downs and myths and truths about it !! Enjoy (:

This week on Girls vs. World, we sit down with Cat — a woman whose world was turned upside down when she discovered her ex-husband had been secretly collecting and distributing intimate images of her (and others) for years. In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Cat bravely shares her story of betrayal, survival, and healing. From the chilling first call from Special Victims Unit to navigating the broken court system and reclaiming her voice, this episode sheds light on the silent epidemic of tech-enabled sexual abuse.
