No Code Switching
by nocspod
Welcome to No Code Switching, where two Black women bring you unfiltered conversations about work, life, and everything in between. We’ll give you The Pulse where we talk about what's living rent free in our heads, let you decide with The Choice Is Yours, react to the moments that make us say This Can’t Be Real Life, and of course, share our takes in You Like It / We Love It. Then we’ll wrap it up with We Said What We Said — because some things just aren’t up for debate — and our final segment, Citizen’s Arrest, where we call out the crimes against humanity that absolutely need to be addressed.
