Feels like I’m sitting down with friends to talk! I always leave with something deep to think about, but I’ve also usually laughed! The perfect combo.

I am legit struggling to find words
These two strong Black Women paint a vivid picture of the world today. The way they are vulnerable will move you to tears, but the show of strength so you know not to mess with them is incredible! To white women like me, lets listen to understand what our friends are going though and lets take this information they are giving to us to do better! Thank you to the host for what you are doing.
