And if you're struggling with a wisdom tooth, Jazz has a fool-proof plan to handle it like a boss.

S2:E9 - Life After 30
It's ok to not be married by 30. It's ok to still be searching for the perfect career. It's ok to not hit any of the benchmarks society has laid out for you. You are in good company.
Hosts: Candice, Delia, and Jazz
Episode 8: The Not-So-Mirco-Agression
It's the act of following a black man through a store because you think he might steal something. It's calling a young black woman articulate. It's defined as 'a comment or action that subtly and often unconsciously or unintentionally expresses a prejudiced attitude toward a member of a marginalized group'. It's microagression. Except there's nothing micro about it.
Hosts: Delia, Jazz, and Candice

Episode 1: The Voice of the Unheard
"How do you feel?" is probably the most loaded question to ask African-Americans right now. And the answer is often multi-layered, complex, and controversial.
