This week, we're trying something new on the podcast. I am having a conversation with one of my dear friends, Karen, about our friendship! This episode is very much an experiment, so if you like hearing people talk about their friendship while simultaneously talking about how to go about making a podcast - this episode is for you!

This week we sit down with Natalie & Melonee, hosts of the upcoming podcast "On The Phone With Friends", a podcast that drops this August "discussing and witnessing Black women's friendships". Natalie & Melonee have been friends since college and have shown up for one another through it all. I loved getting to meet them and learn about their friendship, and I know you will too!
