Happy Women's History Month roommates! In honor of the transition from Black History Month to Women's History Month, we discuss the experience of those who exist in the margin between the two, Black women. In this episode we discuss the intersectional experience - from how we've been treated, things we've experienced, how we're perceived, how we express ourselves, and advice we would give our younger selves about navigating life as a Black woman.

The Love Episode Part II
WE'RE BACK! We missed you and we hope you've missed us as well. Just 2 weeks ago, it was time again for the love event of the year...Valentine's Day! What better way to close out the month than to bring back the love conversation and expound on it. In this week's conversation, we discuss what "healthy" love means & looks like to us. As many of us have been exposed to countless examples of unhealthy love, we're looking to continue to change the narrative and focus on love that is conscious and intentional. Whether it be romantic, friendship, or familial love, we all deserve to receive the healthiest and purest form of love in world that's already so cruel.

The Sexualization of Black Girls & Women
A tale as old as time, a nuanced experience, and still a reality for us. On the social totem pole, Black grils & women are ranked dead last. Robbed of our youth, innocence, and autonomy, Black girls & women can never choose our race or gender first as we don't have that luxury. If you identify with this group, we're sure you've heard the phrase "stop acting grown" or "she's fast" or "go change, you're showing too much". From the jump, Black girls are not allowed to be children in comparison to our [other race] counterparts which bleeds into womanhood as we have to learn to mother our inner child and mend our relationship with sexuality. In this episode we explore the sexualization of Black girls and women starting with slavery, post-(legal)slavery stereotypes, the rise of hip hop, and where we stand today.
