you're too loud!

whew...if y’all have ever doubted the power of Black women before this election, we seriously hope you’ve done some self-reflection! to put it plainly: Black women are keeping this world spinning. FULL STOP!! on this episode, we discuss the wins in representation this election (come through intersectionality!), what it means to truly hold elected officials accountable, and ponder why the people most disrespected in our democracy continue to put this country on their backs to save it?! tune in for some laughs, leave with some important questions, and as always...thank a Black woman today!!

who is most likely to appear on some reality show? does your friend have an expression or phrase that they say very often? who is most likely to get in a fight? this #tooloudtuesday marks the end of our birthday month so we’re tackling the rest of the “best friend tag”! the compliments (and insults) don’t stop in this episode because what else would you expect?!

what’s something that annoys sika about jordan? who does jordan think should play sika in a movie?? can jordan and sika describe each other in one word??? it’s still our birthday month meaning we can’t stop talking about ourselves yet!! on this #tooloudtuesday, we tackle the “best friend tag” and do what we do best: rave about each other while coming for each other’s weaknesses! make sure you come back next week to hear the rest of the tag because babbyyyy...we’re just getting started!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDIERAE!!!! As y’all know our LOUD libra queen is courageous, incredibly smart, and downright hilarious- but sika won’t be focusing on ANYYY of those qualities today - instead she’ll be sharing some of the most embarrassing and silly moments from their years of friendship. we get into everything from late-night dummy missions to jordan claiming to be from 15 different places, so you’re gonna want to tune in and turn this one all the way up!!! and after you listen to the episode remember to show jordan some love on october 7th - she deserves alllll of that and more!!!!

happpyyy birtthdaayyy to the most accident prone, embarrassing, truly ridiculous, LOUD AND WRONG co-host alive--our very own, SIKA KODZI!!!!!! with sika’s birthday in five days, jordan had to celebrate her the only way she knows how--tearing her up!!! tune in to hear sika’s most embarrassing stories from accidentally throwing her roommate’s shoes away to reporting for jury duty when she never had to go to her brand of the ashiest ankles/elbows/any body part ever!!! sika probably wanted these moments to be a little more quiet, but lucky for y’all, jordan doesn’t know how to be anything but loud!!!

this week we’re throwing it aaalllllll the way back… to our shared childhood trauma…. haha jk unless...we get into the anti-black media and everyday experiences that shaped our childhoods - everything from jordan (accidentally???) doing blackface to sika reflecting on her heat damage because of unrealistic hair expectations...y’all won’t want to miss this one because it’s LOUD & black kids are tired!!!

what happens when you mix the power of community, black-owned business, and the cultural intersection of music, entertainment, and fashion ?? you already knooowww...MEFeater Magazine! this week we’re joined by ceo & editor-in-chief, gabrielle amani, of the reigning cultural reset: MEFeater Magazine! in this episode, we talk about the debate surrounding the term “girl boss”, managing anxiety while being plugged into all things pop culture, and how your network is truly your net ~worth~! in between the laughs and gabby’s words of wisdom, we tune in to what’s truly worth fighting for & why we have to ALWAYS stay loud!

we’re not gonna lie to y’all….this ep is 50% delirious laughter, 25% roasting each other, and 25% a ~loose~ discussion of our topic - JOY! after some pitchy singing, we get into what joy means to us, why black joy is so important, and of course what made us loud this week.

whew, school started 24 hours ago and we’re already TIRED!! not only are we adjusting to life on zoom (rip) we’re doing it at a PWI (a primarily white institution) as black women which is a challenge in itself. this week we laugh through the having to code-switch every day, dealing with constant racial trauma in the news, educating people who refuse to use google, and (unfortunately) so much more….

take a seat & turn up the volume because this one’s a SHOWSTOPPER! this week we’re joined by the fabulous broadway & tv actress, singer, dancer, and all-around icon sasha hutchings, and WOW this might be the LOUDEST EP YET!! we discuss “allyship fatigue” and what it really means to show up for black folk, our traumatized scalps before going natural, and oh that little award-winning musical she’s in (we know you seen her on disney plus). y’all already know we had to talk hamilton - from its reception over time to her favorite cast traditions - so stay tuned to the end for the inside scoop…. then ask yourself: does it hurt?
