CaCo Talks

As we all know, the war between Ukraine and Russia has been raging over the last few months. Witnessing how this new global conflict got us thinking…how do we as black Americans truly feel when our nation is involved in conflict beyond our borders?

In today’s CaCo Talks, we are discussing when black men, more specifically famous black men, act out publicly. Prime examples, Kanye and Will Smith. Recently, we’ve seen both men behave very questionably for all of the world to see. Some see their behavior as a clear cry for help, others see their behavior as an indicator of how status and money trumps all accountability. On this episode we’re dis...

In today’s CaCo Talks, we are talking about Consent. While this episode may be sensitive for some, this is a much needed conversation. After viewing the highly inappropriate interview with Stevie J that went viral a few weeks back, we felt an urgency to talk about today’s topic of consent. As women, we’ve had countless experiences where men either ignored or assumed consent for us. In order to get...

We’re discussing the different types of n...

Today’s talk is all about Trauma. We feel that trauma affects everyone one way or another and often not talked about. So, we want to talk about our experience with trauma and its effects.  If you or anyone you kn...

Most of us have been taught that higher education is the only surefire pathway to success. However, with student-loan debt higher than ever, wages stagnating, corporate culture suffocating employees, and the cost of living steadily on the rise…going through years of college only to come out into a working world where you’re struggling to make ends meat can make the time/money investment of college...
