you're too loud!

if you’ve listened to us talk for more than five minutes, you know that we are NOTHING without our incredible friendships with black women! with valentine’s day (or galentine’s day) coming up, we couldn’’t help but discuss what these friendships mean to us, celebrate the unity of black women, and share advice on how young black girls can find their people. this episode wouldn’t be us if we didn’t ugly laugh every 0.5 seconds while getting super loud & making sure to put y’all on! here’s to celebrating friendships today & forever!

our queen bey said it best...all the single ladies, now put your hands up!! with valentine’s day right around the corner, we HAD to get into the complex relationship between love & black women!! many black women, including us, are single by choice for so many reasons & we dig deep into why that is! we make sure to put y’all on to some mental health resources, and of course get loud about how shonda rhimes is untouchable and some black men are the weakest link—what else is new!!

as black women, we’re SO grateful to everyone who came before us and paved the way! black icons, like mlk and yaa asantewaa, have kept us moving forward this year while we look back to see what we can continue to learn from them. join us as we discuss how people misinterpret mlk’s beliefs, bootstrap theory, and how we can always honor our icons. we even get loud about the difference between race & ethnicity and how we have to call out indigenous erasure. this episode is dedicated to kobe & gigi bryant, we miss you dearly.

did you know that sustainability is a racism issue? if so, did you know that black, brown, and indigenous communities are dying from environmental racism this very second?! this week, we tap into these health and community disparities, what’s going (& been going) on in flint, and how you can do your part to join the fight for environmental justice! even with all this, sika makes sure to put y’all on and we continue to get loud about advocating for black trans women & more!

well we’re only two weeks into 2021 and we think we can all agree it’s just 2020 remixed...things are even crazier in the US and is anyone actually surprised? in this episode, we get loud about our thoughts on white supremacy in action, this country selectively loving black women (like stacey abrams & more), and if we should really applaud social media sites for finally banning trump! come join us as we put you on to romanticizing your life, laugh about the future of this country, all while celebrating black women (because what else would we do)!

if you’re reading this, then you made it to 2021 which is worth all the *covid safe* celebrations!! after gaining allll the 2020 vision, it’s time to bring in our new year’s rezzies! in this episode, we get into some of our top priorities including more black immersion, doing things without justification, and of course being where the money reside! join us in getting loud about the amazing year we’re gonna live through together & PLEASE put that mask back on!!

well 2020 is coming to an end and….what just happened??? in this reflective episode, we dig into the lessons this year taught us and try to grasp what to take into 2021. BUT as black people do best, we find the joy amidst all the hardship and trauma thrown at us--from the new black holiday “december 21st” to the newest black animated films to our queen sza giving us more music! AND we get loud about what matters most while urging you to LISTEN TO and PROTECT black women ALWAYS--RIP Dr. Susan Moore. here’s to new beginnings in 2021!

as darkskin black women, there’s absolutely no way we can’t get loud about colorism and how it affects girls that look like us! in this very loud episode, we discuss colorism inside and outside the black community, how it’s affected our very own personal lives, and even the long-lasting detrimental impacts of this ugly prejudiced view! the volume is turned all the way up as we continue to get loud and uplift black women while reminding you that we are THE blueprint!!

well well well if it isn’t the two queens of never saying no here to talk to YOU about why we, especially as black women, tend to never be selfish enough! we take a deep dive into what that truly means for us as young, busy, black women that have fallen into the trap of exceptionalism! join us in reflecting on how we can be kinder to ourselves through selective selfishness all while getting loud about DOCTOR Jill Biden, using anti-racism as an “aesthetic” and a whollleee lot more!

SZN 2 IS HERE BABY! how else could we ring in the new season without some of our favorite hot takes that simply require no extra discussion! from jordan pointing out how people who “don’t care if someone is purple or polka dot” are racist to sika pointing out how us black girls should normalize not doing our edges all the time! tune in for the first episode of season two where we give you a peek into what’s coming up, introduce some new segments, and of course give you all the reason to continue using your voice and get LOUDER!
