    What If We Stopped Asking Permission to Tell Our Stories?

    Spill it, Ask it, Overshare it...LEAVE IT AFTER THE BEEP! Send AWCY a voicemail and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Last episode, we broke down The Black Switch by Victoria Renee and this time we brought the mastermind herself to the table! 👏🏾 Join us as we sit down with author Victoria Renee for a conversation that goes WAY beyond the pages of her book. First things first: TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN BEFORE PRESSING PLAY! 😂 Consider yourself warned. We're getting into the importance of humanizing fictional characters, why having therapists on set matters, and breaking the tired stereotypes surrounding how Black women are portrayed in media. Victoria shares her experiences navigating spaces where she's been the only person of color in the room, the shows that have inspired her creativity and why we're all lifelong students who should never stop evolving. And it wouldn’t be an AWCY episode if we didn’t get ALL up in Victoria's personal business! We also explore the different forms of intellectual property (IP), the power of cutting out the middleman and going straight to the consumer, and what it really takes to take ownership of your creative work. Of course, we couldn't let our guest leave without giving her the honor of closing out the episode with an unpopular opinion. And just when we thought this was shaping up to be a perfect conversation... SHE CONFESSES THAT SHE STANDS TEN TOES DOWN FOR CANDY CORN. 😭🍬 Victoria, we were rooting for you! This episode is packed with laughs, gems, creativity and real conversations. You don't want to miss this one! . . The Black Switch can be purchased at www.victoriarenee.net and Amazon!

    Who eats gravy on fried chicken?

    Spill it, Ask it, Overshare it...LEAVE IT AFTER THE BEEP! Send AWCY a voicemail and you might hear yourself on the next episode! We’re BAAAAACK! Did you miss us? Because we definitely missed y’all! 😂 After being busy living life and having the BEST spooky season ever, we’re back with plenty to catch up on. Of course, Tamika has no voice (because when does she ever? 😂) This episode is full of laughs, randomness and a little bit of Christmas cheer, argue wit yo mama it’s never too early to celebrate good Ol’ Saint Nick. We talk about our official podcast voicemail and why you NEED to tap in and leave us a message, why we might need to start playing the lottery and how the cold weather showed up overnight like it pays rent. We’re also sharing some home remedies for cold and flu season, discussing how people who intentionally plan to have children are clearly the real adults and touching on 2 Chainz and Keith Lee. We also have to give a HUGE shoutout to Gritz & Waffle in LA because the food is BUSSIN'! Jojo gave it a rave review and apparently gravy on fried chicken is a combination we all needed to know about. Meanwhile, Tamika is STILL waiting on those brand deals for press on nails. Somebody get her on the PR list! 😂 We switch gears to discuss The Black Switch by Victoria Renee, a collection of pilots and reflections exploring personal experiences with code-switching and masking. Such a great read, and definitely one worth adding to your list! And, of course, we couldn't end the episode without an unpopular opinion. This time, we're questioning what it really means for a business to be Black-owned. If an establishment has multiple front-facing owners and only ONE is Black, should that business automatically be advertised as Black-owned? Or is that a loophole being used to exploit the Black dollar? Y'all already know we don't shy away from a conversation! So grab your favorite snack, get comfortable, and catch up with us. Don't forget to call into our official voicemail and let us kow what's on YOUR mind. We've got a lot to say, and we're ready to hear from you too! . . 🛒 Aspire - Green Tea Energy drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://aspiredrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

Send AWCY a voicemail and you might hear yourself on the next episode! ⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode was previously recorded, so a few hot topics may now be lukewarm tea — but hey, who doesn’t love a little time travel with drama? Relive the past, enjoy the ride, and hush. From presidential drama and California catching strays to our recap of Tyler Perry’s Doing Life, the latest viral Instagram moments, and why inmates are considered property of the state, we’re covering a little bit of everything! We’re also touching on the latest diaspora war, serving up your daily reminder, and reminding y’all that NOTHING we say should ever be taken seriously. 😂 Traitors is back and one host is already doing the absolute most, plus we’re revisiting the never-ending baby powder vs. dusting powder debate. And let’s be honest, layovers were definitely invented by people who hate road trips! Buckle up, because this episode is all over the place—in the best way possible. 💀😂 . . 🛒 Aspire - Green Tea Energy drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://aspiredrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

    Why Are We Talking About Christmas Already?

Send AWCY a voicemail and you might hear yourself on the next episode! ⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode was previously recorded, so a few hot topics may now be lukewarm tea — but hey, who doesn’t love a little time travel with drama? Relive the past, enjoy the ride, and hush. Jojo is officially in the holiday spirit, but somehow we ended up talking about Christmas way earlier than expected. Meanwhile, Tamika has once again changed her Halloween costume plans, made another TikTok purchase, discovered the bizarre world of viral bubble cigarettes and is trying to bring the Coogi sweater back from the dead. Tamika also checks in about her latest “hiatus” from social media (again), opens up about her very specific sensory obsession with touching powdered laundry detergent and gives us the rundown on the latest streamer beef. Fair warning: some of that conversation gets a little heavy. Skip ahead if you need to! Then things take a turn when Tamika pitches her latest event idea: speed dating, but make it a therapy session. Honestly… would you attend? 😂 Of course, we couldn’t end without an unpopular opinion. Jojo closes us out with a hot take: airlines should board planes by seat selection, starting with the window seats. ✈️ It’s chaotic, it’s honest, it’s a little unhinged. . . 🛒 Aspire - Green Tea Energy drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://aspiredrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

    What Could Possibly Go Wrong This Spooky Season?

    Spill it, Ask it, Overshare it...LEAVE IT AFTER THE BEEP! Send AWCY a voicemail and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Happy Spooky Season, baby! 🎃 But before we get into Halloween plans, costumes and where you can catch us out and about, we have to address the elephant in the room: the Steelers beat the Bengals. Sorry, Tamika. 😭 This episode is packed with October plans and a very unexpected Mrs. Claus costume reveal from Tamika. Don’t ask questions. We also dive into Tamika’s latest degree from TikTok University, her honest gastric sleeve journey and our approach to working out. Our mascot Jaws decides he has something to say (seriously, turn your volume down 😂), Jojo teaches us the proper technique for eating sunflower seeds and we discuss the PHENOMENAL reboot of A Different World. We also touch on Divine 9 representation—while making it VERY clear that we are not affiliated, so please don’t come for us! Tamika gives us a recap of If I Go, Will They Miss Me?, nostalgia takes over during another storytime and, as always, we wrap things up with Jojo’s unpopular opinion: “Gravity is a protection spell for Earth.” So… are we canceled yet? 👀 . . 🛒 Aspire - Green Tea Energy drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://aspiredrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

    So, Are We Really Getting to the Plot?

Relive the past, enjoy the ride, and hush. Are we really getting to the plot? This week, Tamika takes us through her latest gym adventures before we recap Big Girl Blitz and fall headfirst down the rabbit hole of the Black romance novels we’ve been obsessed with this year. We’re also breaking down the difference between a dad bod and a hood gut, saying R.I.P. to Dolly and getting into the complicated relationship between the music and entertainment industries. From only child syndrome and how it shows up in adulthood to celebrity breakups, Target’s latest annual “oops” and why an eight episode, one-hour series does not need a fluff episode—we’re demanding plot, people! Then, just when the conversation gets good, a minor tech issue tries to take us out. But the show must go on. And of course, Jojo’s Unpopular Opinion of the Episode: If an actor gets booked for an improv role, should they also get a writing credit? . . 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

    Are We About To Get Canceled?

    Spill it, Ask it, Overshare it...LEAVE IT AFTER THE BEEP! Send AWCY a voicemail and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Southern California is officially giving “who turned the Earth into an oven?” because 101° at 8PM is simply disrespectful. 🥵 Jojo & Tamika kick things off with a weather rant, winter wardrobe talk, and the ongoing miracle that is Tamika’s press-on nails. Then things take a hard left… and honestly, they never recover. We get into the PGA’s new rule around producing credits for indie projects during campaigning, our desperate search for a white-shirt sponsor (don’t ask 😭), and why we’re definitely not trying to speak a cancellation into existence. Plus, we recap Love Is Blind UK Season 3, lightly touch on the new Spider-Man movie, and Tamika makes a shocking confession about her love for… The Hulk. Yes, that Hulk. 💚 And because apparently there were still topics left on the table, we dive into the music industry, adults who eat their boogers, why Jojo thinks height is an “eyesight texture,” Tamika’s mission to make intentional eye contact, and the bold claim that people who wear thongs every day might be the biggest liars in the world. It’s hot, unfiltered, questionable, and somehow still a conversation worth having. Good luck to us. 😂 . . 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . . New Episodes Every Friday @ 9AM PT!!
