On Keeping Up with the Windsors
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard of all the drama surrounding Megan and Harry’s bombshell interview with the Queen (no, not that one) of TV, Oprah. As our first episode was on Megexit, you know we had to do an episode on our reaction to the interview, the implications to the monarchy and Megan and Harry Kardashian‘s next steps. Have our opinions of Harry and Megan changed after the interview? Tune in to figure out! Before we get into all the juicy gossip, Shade discusses her new life in suburbia and Rolake gives us an update on her first month as CEO #girlboss. In our What I’m segment, Rolake and Shade discuss the messiness of Rosamund Pike in I Care A lot and Rolake tells us about the South African slay queen in the book she’s reading, The Blessed Girl.

On Filling Your Own Cup First
Hey! We missed you...but we're back and glad you are too! On episode one of season two, Shade (based in DC) and Rolake (based in Lagos) catch up on what’s been happening in their lives over the last 5 weeks. Listen to their recommendations on the Netflix shows, books, music and self care regimens they've been hooked on (look out for their thoughts on #BlackisKing). In the main topic this week, the ladies speak on the importance of looking after numero uno before trying to meet the needs of co-workers, family, friends and/or bosses. From the beginning of time, women have been pre-conditioned to put ourselves last; we often end up looking after the needs of others at the expense of our mental and physical health and joy. Hear the ladies talk through personal decisions they're making to relearn what it means to be a good colleague, daughter, friend, wife, mom...etc by filling their own cups first.

On Will and Jada and Unconventional Relationships
Join Shade and Rolake in exploring unconventional relationships through Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's (possibly) open marriage and Gwen Paltrow and husband Brad Falchuk's separate living arrangements. Would you agree to either in your marriage? Are you in another form of unconventional relationship like a polyamorous, polygamist or mixed orientation relationship? Do you live hours, states or oceans apart from your spouse or partner? Listen and discover our take on these types of relationships. In our wildcard, we discuss grown ass adult friendships --- the good, the bad and the ugly.
