Snippets of Shants Podcast | Episode 16: Sober Sixteen
This week on Snippets of Shants, we’re stepping into clarity with our first-ever sober episode — and the vibe is still very much intact!
We start with a heartfelt reflection on Mother’s Day and the emotional layers it brings, then dive into the heavy news of Diddy’s trial finally beginning. We talk about what it means to be a “humble” Black person in the spotlight (yes, we’re side-eying y’all over the Shadeur Sanders discourse). We give our unfiltered takes on our fave (and not-so-fave) MET Gala looks, and dare we say it… Candace Owens might be making a few valid points?!
We also had a spicy conversation about “Sinners”, our favorite scenes, and all the symbolism. Tap in for real talk, laughs, and a little self-awareness on the side!
