Don’t always agree, but always learning

I’ve been an avid podcast listener for years and this is my first review. I thoroughly enjoy Kayla’s podcast, both her stand alone episodes and when she invites guests. I don’t always agree with the ideas being put forward but I always come away having learned so much, and had my beliefs and views challenged or affirmed. I’ve recommend it to many girlfriends.

Highly Recommended!!!

Absolutely love how this podcast centers the experiences of the Black Woman! I enjoy the way the platform is set up and how the content is delivered. It has exposed me to so many ideas I’ve either never considered or given much thought. So excited for the next season!
