Black & 'burban

Dating can be a battlefield and in this week's episode we're talking Red Flags and Icks with Niah's best friend, Lani! It could be anything from chewing with your mouth open to gaslighting in arguments. We're discussing all of the things that turn us off in relationships and how we deal with them.

Is it February already? January is over and so far the year has been off to a great start! Calil and Niah have been reading, watching, wearing, listening to, and generally enjoying so many new things already this year and they want to share. Take a listen to hear a few suggestions that you can check out (or maybe avoid...) over the next few weeks.

In this week's episode, Calil and Niah sit down with guest, Naomi Parris, to discuss imposter syndrome. Naomi is a social media influencer, blogger, and editorial operations associate for POPSUGAR. Together they'll address the roots of imposter syndrome, share some of their experiences, and provide suggestions to help overcome these negative beliefs. 

They say your twenties are supposed to be the best years of your life. But if that's the case, why does life feel like someone trapped us in a room and told us to build IKEA furniture without a manual? In this episode, Calil and Niah talk about a few things they've learned in their 20s, and *spoiler alert* there really isn't a manual. However, with a little love and support, hopefully, we can all continue to learn and grow.

In this episode, Calil and Niah welcome Deandra McDonald, a teacher and real estate investor. We discuss the struggles of vulnerability and evaluate how opening up can lead to joy and a sense of belonging. Each of us grapples with our own struggles of worthiness and fear, but listen along to hear how we push beyond our mental barriers to become confident men and women.

In this episode, Calil and Niah take it back to the early 2000s where we reminisce on the gospel music that raised us. Marvin Sapp, Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, and we can’t forget Fred Hammond released unforgettable hits that continue to lift us up. Tune in as we talk through our favorite gospel hits of the early 2000s that should never be forgotten. 

What happens after you start your career, but you still haven't made it to where you want to be yet?
