Episode 114: Trading Self-Respect for Likes & Views
This week I happened to come upon some posts on Tiktok & Instagram with folks airing their personal business like a vlog but it wasn't flex they thought it was. They not only came off as kinda fake (& I could be wrong) but to the detriment of women. There's this disdain toward women and I've...

Episode 94: Can we normalize shipping female black leads as love interests?
After seeing Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, I got to thinking how lead black actresses are never the love interest or "shipped" with anyone. It's like we have a certain role to play as the sassy, independent, strong character, whose only purpose is to be the savior. While I know Shuri's…

So comedian Aries Spears decided to take jabs at Lizzo when asked about her music. The often controversial comedian has since been getting a lot of flack as a result. Lizzo on the hand did not directly address Spears with a comment but did clapback after winning a VMA. While I hate the bullying...

Episode 80: The Blame and Shame Game
This week I discuss the problem of blaming women for being with crappy partners. Why is it that we never old men to the same type of standards we hold women?
