This podcast centers black AND queer people first and foremost. Representation is important, and it’s important that we become an example of healthy queer love in the media. The black ass, queer ass, real ass (3A) love podcast if you will.

Fat rolls, sushi rolls, cinnamon rolls, Hawaiian rolls, tootsie rolls, role models; what do these roles/rolls have in common? They're all better than gender roles. In this episode, Bree and Kris explore what it means to live in a relationship with no gender roles. Well, as much as they can.

Toxic Monogamy: Cheaters Gon' Cheat

Toxic Monogamy: Cheaters Gon' Cheat

As much as society will push the "I own my partner" narrative, we're here to call out the BS. We think this is the first episode where Kris didn't sing and only made one song reference. Is this toxic monogamy?

The Second Pillar of Our Relationship: Supporting an Anxious Partner

The Second Pillar of Our Relationship: Supporting an Anxious Partner

The second part of this series kicks off! Kris and Bree decided to start this pillar off with something just as valuable as communication: Support. One of the major ways they show support to each other is to trust the other person to help them through their issues. In this shorter than usual episode, Kris spends some time explaining what exactly anxiety is, and how hers plays out in their relationship. Bree talks about what it’s like to date someone with anxiety, and shares a little bit of her wisdom. Without supporting each other, this relationship wouldn’t STAND a chance…get it?

Friends: Whodini Was Onto Something

Friends: Whodini Was Onto Something

Whodini posed the question “Friends, how many of us have them?” back in 1984, and Bree and Kris are still asking the question in 2020. They spend a little under an hour diving deep into the significance of communicating in friendship, its relation to romantic relationships, and its importance in our lives. Why do we value romantic relationships more than platonic ones? How come nobody talks about the pain behind breaking up with friends? This episode is the second part of the communication series.

"this is for the baby gays"

"this is for the baby gays"

Being young and trying to figure yourself out is hard enough. Being young and queer with no one to show you the ropes? The struggle is real. In this episode, we will share our “coming out” stories, and give some guidance to the baby gays (even though we know some of y’all are going to learn the hard way anyway).

Intersections: Not just for the streets

Intersections: Not just for the streets

“When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.” – Audre Lorde And that’s exactly what we’ve decided to do- speak, as unapologetic queer black women. Before we can tell you about our relationship, or give you advice, we have to tell you how our identities intersect and make us who we are. If you’ve ever had a person ask you to put any of your identities to the side for the supposed “greater good” I’m sure you can relate. We decided to answer all of those uncomfortable unasked questions here with black queer people being first and foremost. This episode on intersectionality is for you.
