Join us on this hour and a half journey of introspection, it’ll be a good one! #DontJudgeUs

To swirl or not to swirl? 🍫🍦 That is the question. This week Naana and Obie discuss interracial dating, now we know this conversation has been had many times and many ways, but you’ve never heard from the Work Baes and you’ll be pretty surprised where they land. Tune in every Monday for a brand new episode of Work Bae with Naana and Obie!

The days are getting longer, skirts are getting shorter and it’s about that time to start casting your nets. This week on Work Bae, Naana and Obie are discussing shooting your shot 🏀 Everything from what it means, to how to do it and when you should or shouldn’t all together. Naana is new to the game but with some pro tips from Obie they are hoping to both have the mixiest of New York summers … fingers crossed 🤞🏿

This week on Work Bae, it’s all about the fellas! Whether you consider them your “boys”, your “bros” or your “dogs” (are men still using that one?) Men and the relationships they have with one another have always seemed ideal to Naana, but Obie drops a bomb that there is often a lack of emotional connection in their friendships. We discuss the toll that plays on men and how that affects all those around them, especially the women in their lives who tend to carry a lot of that emotional baggage.
