Your Aunties Could Never

This week your favourite Aunties AK, Farrah and Nana are joined by the incredible team behind the award winning series Dreaming Whilst Black. Creator and lead Adjani Salmon, actress Dani Moseley and actress Jo Martin pull up to get into the realities, frustrations and joys that sit behind one of the most talked about British shows of recent years.

Together the Aunties and our guests dive into the themes that make Dreaming Whilst Black hit so close to home for so many Black creatives and Black families:

🚩 Are Black creatives still being set up to fail even when they finally get the opportunity

🚩 When white privilege shows up loud and proud, do you challenge it or keep the peace

🚩 Black Tax, family pressure and expectation, how do you hold your dreams together without breaking

🚩 Can you spin the block and make love work the second time around

🚩 Dating while grown, is it freedom or friction

🚩 Can friendships survive when everyone is growing and winning at different speeds

🚩 Are we finally seeing healthy Black fatherhood on screen

🚩 Can Black love be soft, steady and unproblematic even when life is not

A pastor really called a woman "the spirit of a witch" for asking for... baby formula?! Make it make sense. The Aunties are heated this week and trying to figure out why so many churches are failing their communities.

We're also diving deep into that viral stat: In 1970, 91% of women were married by 30, but today it's only 32%. But why is the blame always on women's careers and not the men who aren't proposing?

And we HAVE to talk about the Black hairdresser trauma. Ak, Farrah & Nana shares a salon horror story that is way too relatable—from relaxer burns to just bad customer service, we've all got the PTSD!
