SOCIETY & CULTURE

Once upon a time in a land not so far away (Birmingham), Ni and Sim realised they were closer than they thought to the big 4-0. It was at this moment they questioned everything. Are high-tops still appropriate? Should I have more savings? Can we still hire a quad bike in Napa? Do we really want more kids? This is UNSURE. Let’s talk it out.

Can black women find love on Love Island?

In this episode, we discuss all things Love Island! Although this series has been a bit of a slow burner, there have been some things that have stood out. We have a frank conversation about the portrayal of black contestants - particularly women. We also question the role of the production team in the selection process and whether the franchise has turned into a get-rich-quick scheme for participants. Enjoy! Ni and Sim

Should we be more open to different cultures?

In this episode, we have a good 'ole chinwag about the importance of allyship, interracial dating, and whether opposites really attract. We're joined by our wonderful guest Charlotte, who speaks candidly about her support for the BLM movement, her reasons for dating outside of her race, including the childhood memories that may have contributed. We also touch on being underrepresented in the workplace, the right time to enter a new relationship and we settle the score on which guys are most likely to hit your WhatsApp with a d*ck pic! It's a good one guys! Enjoy! Ni and Sim

Is colourism dividing our community?

In this episode, we explore the subject of colourism. Why is it still so rife?! We discuss what it's like to be on the receiving end of colourism and how it affects our communities. We also have a frank discussion about the potential effects of colourism on our children and ask ourselves as with ageism, sexism and racism, will colourism always be prevalent in today's society. Enjoy! Ni and Sim

Is Blue Therapy highlighting real relationship issues?

In this episode, we're discussing one of the most popular shows of the year Blue Therapy. The jury's still out on whether the couples and their storylines are authentic, but it certainly deserves top marks for entertainment. We also discuss relationship therapy more broadly, Sim's (hilarious) couples counselling experience and Ni's requirements for entering a new relationship! Enjoy! Ni and Sim

The 90's - What a Vibe!

In this episode, we're feeling rather nostalgic. After watching this week's SWV vs Xscape Verzuz, we're in our 'old skool' element! This was hands down our favourite Verzuz battle. We also discuss why we're disappointed with the BRIT awards, the lack of quality performers in today's music scene, the hilarious undercover comedians on social media and why we're excited to be able to relive the 90's vibe once we're released from the shackles of lockdown! Enjoy! Ni and Sim

Why are more black women dying during pregnancy?

In this episode, we discuss the recent Channel 4 Dispatches documentary, The Black Maternity Scandal.
