Reflection: Do children deserve- yes I said ! the same life style as their parents had when they were growing up or a better one?
Why you are gonna marry the wrong person anyways
We explore why the "right" person may only become the "right now" person if you are not addressing the underlying issues and childhood traumas that you are carrying. This is not meant to discourage you from finding the person that ticks all your boxes but recognize that there an long standing narrative about love that is already in play in your mind!
What narratives about love do you have or have you learned from rom your culture, society and media?

We are talking about how we navigate relationships as adults with our parents, siblings and friends.
Reflection question : How can we build and maintain healthy relationships throughout the whole lifespan ?
Rants and Randomness
today we are here just to vent..
First date experiences
We have been on a few first dates we are sharing our experiences that we consider to be learning opportunities for guys. Prepare to take notes and we apologize if we hit the nail on the head-- but that's the point. Speaking from experience, the dates shared on this episode have left us with more questions and we hope they resonate with you but not in a bad and ugly way.
Reflection questions: How are dates "supposed" to work? Are you willing to compromise on a first date? Who pays? Can I go on a date when am broke and should I communicate that with my potential date before hand?
Bonus Episode- Insecure much?
In this impromptu episode, we discuss the critically acclaimed ( if it isnt-- it should) Insecure on HBO and how we are learning, laughing and crying with the characters.
#BLM
As much as we love sharing with our listeners about ourselves, we would be doing ourselves a disservice by not talking about #blacklivesmatter. we are sharing our thoughts on the movement, our experiences as black women and offering some remedies on how to move forward.
So you're still not MARRIED sis!
Reflection thought: Is marriage still a relevant relationship status and how can we make sense of how it has evolved over time?
Conditions in Black Love
Why does black love have so many conditions? conditions are things like having education and or career, height, weight, etc we explore how these affect our relationships.
Reflection - Are the conditions in Black love within the relationship or from external influences ?
