    Ep 436. Incubating Babies, RGIII's Milk Obsession, + Fake Journalists

    In this episode, Shanti prepares for a busy season with The Sable Collective, while Antoinette has the most biracial weekend ever. For politics, we focus on the complexities of political decisions and their effect on healthcare, particularly regarding a case in Georgia involving a brain-dead pregnant woman.

Antoinette explains the racial undertones and stereotypes in sports rivalries, particularly in the WNBA between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. This is highlighted by the recent public beef between RGIII and Ryan Clark. Join us...

    Ep 433. I Want Men To Lead. Am I Toxic?

    In this episode, we are inspired by the recent conversation between podcaster Shannon Boodram and actress Cree Summer. Together, we dissect the dynamics of leadership in partnerships, the balance of masculine and feminine energies, and the challenges of relinquishing control in a relationship that lacks the safety to do so and how this lack of safety affects our notions of generosity, affection and respect.

    Ep 432. Joe Budden Pod Gets Woke + Met Gala Dandy Dud?

    In this episode, Shanti reflects on a successful Mother's Day photo shoot while Antoinette enjoys a new, lovely haircut. For politics, we keep it brief and discuss the threat to housing policies posed by Trump's recent federal cuts. We discuss the Met Gala and share our thoughts on the overall theme of Black Dandyism. Do we think folks embodied it? In the end, we discuss the scholar, Mark Lamont Hill's presence on the seemingly low-brow Joe Budden podcast and the effect of intellectual discourse in spaces most often dominated by misinformation.
