What’s On The Agenda

This episode covers a wide-ranging conversation about black womanhood, respectability, movement, and the pressure to treat every life decision as a direct command from God. Mo and Raven connect everyday choices like hair, dancing, work, and dating to larger questions about autonomy, patriarchy, and what it means to live as a whole person. At the center of the discussion is a shared concern: too many black women are taught to ignore their own discernment in favor of obedience, suffering, or spiritualized recklessness. The conversation moves through faith, deconstruction, and the freedom to choose joy, pleasure, and self-trust.
