What Makes Us This Way? Nature, Nurture & Black Love
Why do we love the way we love? Why do we choose the partners we choose.
And why do we sometimes repeat relationship patterns we swore we'd never repeat? In this thought-provoking episode of Mahogany Talks, hosts Kim Dickerson and Denise Kaigler explore the age-old question of nature vs. nurture and apply it to something deeply personal: Black love and relationships.
Are our dating behaviors shaped by how we were raised and what we witnessed growing up? Or our past relationships, cultural experiences, and the messages we've absorbed about love and partnership?
Come ready to laugh, reflect, challenge your assumptions, and maybe see yourself, and the world of Black love, a little differently.

Lifestyle Choices: Turn-ons or Turn-offs?
What we do and how we live can say a lot about us, especially when it comes to dating and companionship. On this episode of Mahogany Talks, hosts Kim Dickerson and Denise Kaigler get real about the lifestyle choices that can make someone more or less attractive.
For instance, Is smoking cigarettes or weed a dealbreaker?
What about drinking? Does cursing turn you off, or is it simply a matter of context? And how important is fitness and taking care of yourself? Kim and Denise explore the habits, behaviors, and everyday choices that can influence attraction and compatibility, and ask the question: How much should lifestyle choices matter when you're considering getting to know someone?
