Hold For Maintenance

TRIGGER WARNING. Today we're discussing factors surrounding the Maternal Vulnerability Index for black woman through the heart wrenching lens of Jessica Ross and her family's recent loss. Did you know that according to the CDC 80% of pregnancy related deaths are preventable by medical staff?

We cut it short today. Points were made, and you gotta know when there's just nothing left to say. When there's nothing for you to add.

Everybody’s black card got revoked this episode— except Madame VP Harris.

We got our first guest y’all! Our sis Hope Giselle pulled up on us and gave us vocab and assignments. Assignment one: no more allies— we need accomplices. (Some of y’all outside, but you not really outside and we don’t like that.)

The beginning of this episode is everything you need to be the healthiest you this year— but don’t worry, we quickly transition into the antics and receipts you came for.

It's giving one order of couples therapy and a side of social media timeout. That should do it!

Cut Obio’s mic. Lynae too.

It was beyond us last week, but we back with a ranty drop. Who else feel like Lynae yelling at them?

In this episode, we took a conversation from Twitter and wanted to talk about navigating peace. Interestingly enough, Obio's bored with peace, Lynae's balancing work and personal, and Sim is just happy to be enjoying the Southern energy of it all. Question, where did you see yourself in your late twenties/early thirties?

Happy Pride! This episode dives into the complexities of telling queer stories and advocating for the collective liberation of marginalized people. We wanted to explore the politics of masculinity while being gay and also the nuance of gay lingo going mainstream. Hope you enjoy!

Trigger warning: This episode includes conversation about physical, verbal, and emotional abuse as well as grooming. We're sure you're aware of the passing of the Legend, Tina Turner. What surprised us was the resurfacing of her domestic abuse to honor her life, so we felt it necessary to unpack the way we treat abuse, especially with celebrities. Tina Turners career is filled with accolad...

Whew! The people are buying couches off the street in New York, the kids are treating prom like the Met (theme: Love and Hip Hop but make it formal), and Ja Morant was on Live waving a gun. Just listen to the episode cause it's a lot happening at once.

a great artist doesn’t automatically make a great person. we’re diving into the complexity of being in the public eye while still having a human experience. we agreed to disagree a few times in this conversation and got a lesson in “spicy black” thanks to the Little Mermaid.

In this episode, we wanted to dive into the complexities of blackness and religious rhetoric. “I haven’t been Jackie Hill Perry’d” Obio says, but how many people have? We hold language accountable through historical context and of course, some humor. Lynaes line for line breakdown of Jackie Hill Perry’s video puts things in perspective while Sim holds space for all religious and spiritual practice...

*Trigger Warning* This episode involves graphic discussions of sexual violence that may trigger victims or sexual assault or violence. | On today’s episode we get into talks about the upcoming Freaknik documentary by Hulu and how The Wildest Party Never Told was probably the cringiest picnic that we have many questions about.

Okay so apparently there was an episode before this, but we can neither confirm nor deny that. But, tap in for all the things you can expect on this very wild ride of a podcast. (& don’t forget to give us feedback in the reviews!)

So, who all gon be there? And what’s it giving? #QTNA
