    Ep. 202 | Blackness Unboxed

    In this special Thanksgiving episode, we unbox the complexities of Blackness — exploring the rich and diverse experiences of being Black in America. We dive deep into the ongoing struggles of racial disparity, reflecting on the challenges and triumphs that shape our journey. But this episode isn’t just about acknowledging the weight of history—it’s about recognizing the strength, resilience, and unity within the Black community, and encouraging collective healing, empowerment, and togetherness, reminding each other that our shared experiences are not just a source of pain but a wellspring of power and possibility. Join us for a heartfelt conversation about how we can rise together, support one another, and continue unboxing the layers of our identity with pride, courage, and hope.

    Ep. 7 | Navigating Your Waiting Season

    “Good things come to those who wait,” they say. But let’s be honest, how easy is it to wait for anything you want so badly? It isn’t!

    Ep. 6 | Disrupting The Pattern.

    Generational curses, cycles, or patterns exist, whether we choose to acknowledge them or not. How do we recognize them? When we do, what do we do about it? Surely, we try not to take matters into our own hands alone, for God's grace is greater than any generational curses. Biblically, Ezekiel asks, “But suppose [he] has a son who sees all the sins his father commits, and though he sees them, he does not do such things” (Ez. 18:14). What will happen to the son? “He will not die for his father's sin; he will surely live.” This episode, your hosts go below the surface to discuss cycles they’ve encountered in their lives, and how it’s helped shape them into who they are today.

    Sometimes, we find ourselves battling whether it is time to separate ourselves from people, places and things that no longer serve us.
