We are back with new episodes! It’s officially spring and Black girls are blooming! As we water our minds, plant those seeds, grow our bank accounts and sow for the future let's first take a moment to air a few things out. We’re defining and sharing our opinions, redefining the rules of what’s likable, what’s on trend, and who gets to decide all of it. What are those off the record thoughts that w...

We're talking about all the things we care about today as Black women and we’re grabbing the megaphone and sharing our unpopular opinions th...

It's our winter finale episode, and we're closing out this season on a real note. In this conversation, we dive into some deep territory, talking about family planning, dealing with that other F word (fertility), and WHY doctors still don’t believe Black women when we say we’re in pain. We're all in different places in our own journeys and so we're asking – is motherhood for us? Has this everlasti...

And just like that, it's 2022! As we set intentions, resolutions, and healthy eating habits let's talk BODY- ODY- ODY. From who gets to talk about Black women's bodies, body dysmorphia, and modification with the BBL boom, to why the scale is shadier than a Drake interlude.  To add more heat to the conversation and take the vibrations even higher, we have the incredibly talented and funny Tiff...

Alright y’all, we made it! As we enter 2022 - striving to stay healthy, create vision boards, or just keep it together, we got a quick question: we know this year may have bent our spirits, but did we break the bank this year too?? That’s right, let's talk about MONEY. From student loans to reparations, we got a lot to go off about, so let’s level up those resolutions with a deep convers...

On the roundtable this week, we have our Unbothered Creative Advisor, THEE award-winning actress, television personality and singer (there is nothing she can't do)...

Let's face it, Black women own pop culture, and reality TV. And for Black women on reality TV, we ask "what is the physical and mental cost to be the boss?" As more Black women ascend to reality TV stardom, let’s have a conversation about the perception of us on screen, the stigmas attached, who deserves their flowers and who needs a bigger check. To add to the discussion, we have a very spec...

It's no secret that Black women are doing the damn thing in music, PERIOD. We are in a time where your daily playlist might include Megan Thee Stallion, Saweetie, H.E.R., Jazmine Sullivan, Chloe Bailey, Baby Tate, Normani and Flo Milli to name a few. As we close the gap within an industry that has been hard to navigate for us, we are taking ownership and diversifying the bag. The rise of Black wom...

Black Twitter...That’s the whole tweet. In this episode, we're diving into social media, accountability, and why cancel culture just isn't giving what it's supposed to give. How do we make sure Black creators are getting credit for their work AND hold others accountable for their words at the same time? Hear us out on this one because we're done with the notes app apologies and looking f...

In this custom episode presented by Target, we’ll dig into the sacred space that is the Black party, various social settings, and why we all have that friend who NEEDS to request songs in the...

We can never deny that the style, swag, and extra seasoning we bring elevates everything we do to luxury status. In this episode, we're breaking down the concept of luxury and what it means for us. Our dollars have power and our style transcends the culture, yet we still lack the equity we deserve in the luxury industry. How is it that “Black Luxury” is still undefined and why doesn’t luxury seem...

There is so much going on in the world and most of the time, life is just NOT funny and can be heavy, especially for us. We see the passing of icons, continued police brutality against young Black women and men, and there's still a pandemic. Laughter has been our medicine! Today, we're talking Black comedy, belly laughs and how we push through the pain. We also dive into the joy of Group...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Ok, not really! It is Spring, but Mercury is in another retrograde or micro braid or even the 90’s flat-twist with the thick black gel. Remember!? However, Spring is also a great time for personal housekeeping, so we're pushing through and cleansing our mental, physical, and emotional palettes. We're talking about taking big leaps asking how are we restori...

Black women are THEE trendsetters and always have been, so we're talking all things fashion and giving flowers to our fashionable selves! The trends we loved, the ones we hope never make a comeback, and the history of Black expression and cultural appropriation. But real talk, what's in your closet? This episode, we're asking ourselves: do we even need more clothes, are there really ‘Stimi-ch...

This past year, you’ve dreamed of sun-soaked beaches and getting flewed out. You’ve spent months planning that post-panini trip, and gave side eyes to everyone who headed to the airport, because look, so did WE. So, this episode, we’re talking travel, because even though we’re not going anywhere just *yet*, we can dream.  From our earliest memories of hitting the open road to our current fear...

Then, we get into it with the one and only Meagan Good, who's spent much of her career telling Blac...

A year into this pon de’ replay we’re examining self-love and how we’re taking care of our own needs even if it seems…selfish. Our sisters share the ways they are good to themselves but how it can get challenging thanks to forces like social media. In talking with the self-love queen herself, Jill Scott shares the favorite parts of herself and the simple practices she uses to love upon mind and bo...
