Culture Wars, Clapbacks & Client Cancellations

from Friend Pick Up the Phone Hosted by Iyonce

The internet has been loud lately… and not just in the comments. This week we’re unpacking the chaotic political headlines setting the tone for 2026 : lawsuits, funding freezes, culture wars, and rising global tension. Because when the world gets messy, social media gets even louder. Then we get into the viral moment that sparked this episode: a lash tech firing a client for being a Trump supporter. Boundary setting or public performance? Brave or branding? And why did this moment hit such a nerve online? We’re talking about the rise of public boundaries, the business of being vocal, selective outrage, performative allyship, and the blurred line between values and virality. Because in 2026, everyone wants to be on the right side of history… but not everyone is honest about the role social media plays in how they show up. Let’s talk about it.
