This weekend brings an exciting episode about the lives of two beautiful young women, Anye'a and Samanda. They share the story of their harrowing journey of deliverance from a life that would surely have led them farther and farther away from a close relationship with God. We uphold one another as we move forward through the eventful journey of life, striving for the prize.

We hope you are as excited to finally get to know the third person of our trinity as we are to present her in this week's episode. Meet Sophia's very own twin Camille!

Our discussion on feminism continues today with Sister Elizabeth Oppel! Last time she was with us, we discussed the history of the movement and what true feminism looks like. Today we’re discussing how society has shaped women’s ideas of equality and freedom, until that freedom of “we have the right to vote and the right to own property” has become, whether through OnlyFans, or through Hollywood’s...

Stained glass, mother Mary, crosses, and a white, blond haired, blue eyed Jesus…can the portrayal of this type of Christianity be all inclusive? Can it be inclusive at all? Why is Jesus almost always depicted as a white man? This is no accident, but rather a deliberate attempt to white wash Christianity and hijack the very origins from which it stems. Some believe that Christianity is a white man’...

Welcome back to Gotta b Me everyone! We’re so honored to be hosting Sasha King, beautiful wife, mother of five, and founder/director of Concrete Rose 🌹. Concrete Rose is a non profit organization for black youth working to further their education through the knowledge of their history, volunteering for community aid, and learning to work together to accomplish their dreams.  Sis. Sasha is passion...

We’re back with another book that changed our lives and perspective! History textbooks never offer the whole picture, and sometimes they paint the picture with such a slant that heroes turn into villains and villains into heroes. And what we got from our history textbooks was not what we got through the autobiography. He was powerful and prophetic, and that pride that he was able to instill in tho...

Join us this week for an exciting episode welcoming Denise Ewing, a beautiful, strong, and unapologetic black woman, willing and ready to voice her opinions and speak truth! Sister Denise shares her passion for self care through an educated knowledge of a healthy lifestyle, featuring a deep and natural connection to nature and an unashamed appreciation for ones self and the significance of their c...

With today’s guest, Sister Kennedi Ford, who has her degree in English with Creative Emphasis, we discuss the lack of African American authors in classic literature and the portrayal of African Americans in various facets of entertainment. While it’s true that African Americans are being given roles to play in movies, so many of those roles are not “our story.” Sister Kennedi hopes that her writin...

“Wisdom is justified of her children…”Wondering where we got our charm!? Check out our grandparent's vibe! Not only do they know how to kick back and have fun podcasting but they’ve got the wisdom and actual experience to back their values and opinions. Enjoy this episode as we delve into their history, what shaped their lives, and how that in turn molded us into the women we are today.

A small peek into the numerous factors that affected our upbringing is being brought to you today in the form of a short book review. Though perhaps not as exciting as an interview or “hot topic”, we believe it will be a light, enjoyable, and short listen, leaving you in a state desperate to get your hands on “The Help”.

In this week’s podcast we are discussing the feminism movement, how closely it was tied to the abolitionist movement, what the Bible has to say about feminism, and what true feminism looks like. Feminism is not a deletion of men; true liberation can only come when men lead and the women follow, not following nonchalantly, but following with strength and passion.

Today is extra-special, as our mothers have joined us to discuss where and how they were raised, the various influences of religion on their lives, and the joys and challenges of raising -doing the hair of😂-multiethnic children. Some of the facts might be pretty surprising! (Like, for real, how many people grow up in a town where the population is 60 people?)

Look at a church building these days and you will see droves of people walking, running, sprinting out the door. People are forsaking the assembly left and right. But are they wrong for leaving? The average church has become nothing more than a place to go on Sunday to provide the good feelings people need to enjoy the indulgences of their sin the rest of the week. The masses are awakening to the...

We’re back again, addressing questions and comments about us! Are we ghosts? Hardly. We’re not pilgrims-those went down in history. And we’re pretty sure the uniform isn’t quite right if we’re “The British”. But those associations do give us good laughs sometimes!

Generational identity has always been a topic of interest worthy of discussion and debate. As Gen Zers we personally believe that we are a powerful generation capable of even more than we realize; but how did we come by that empowerment? What has influenced us to think the way we do, decide what our moral codes are, and what cause to rally around? Do we really posses the rizz we wish we had or are...

Who deserves the F? Students? When it’s the whole class of students? Teachers? When so many of them pour their whole heart into what they do and often face push-back for trying their hardest? Or is it the educational system, that prescribes meds for hyperactivity, and so rarely looks into the life of the child to find out why they can’t settle down? Is it the educational system, that doesn’t invol...

From advertisements featuring models to celebrities raving about their favorite cosmetic products, women are constantly surrounded by others who keep them evaluating their own looks. It's created a culture that doesn’t remind us that beauty is more than skin deep, a culture that gets us thinking that to be normal, we have to redesign ourselves, even though the God who created us called us perf...

Our generation is very conscious and ready for action. But when it comes to music, which so often helps to shape communities, culture, and generations, the bulk of Gen-Z’s music does not reflect the things we feel so passionately about. Why are the top songs mostly empty? Why, amid a surge of awareness, is the majority of our music not touching problems and leading anyone toward answers or solutio...
