Just a trio of African/First-Generation African girls unfolding (almost) everything about our lifestyles and experiences in school, at a top-ten university, outside of school, in relationships, jobs and much more. Features of more friends and their experience are also here! :)

Hey......How y'all doin....Yea, it's been an extremely hot minute y'all, but when they said college is time-consuming (idek who) they meant it! Anyways, what matters is that we are BACK! This episode is an oldie but a goodie and is a bit of a throwback to conversations you've probably had about growth and changing (for the better or worse??), so in this one we're doing quite a bit of reflecting...on the antics 2024 pulled with our good friend, Ruth :) Enjoy and pls forgive us <3.

4. Who Are We Passing Our Black Orgs to??
Hey M&Ms welcome back to another, slightly more serious, episode!! Has anyone else noticed the significant decrease in black and Hispanic students in many universities across America? This week we brought two amazing black leaders at Hopkins, Stephanie and Gnagna, to talk about the impacts of this decline on our campus, and the implications of this pattern as a whole.
