The best podcast of all time

Tamika and Mysonne are so real and raw, most people will never understand how much it really takes to be them waking up everyday. I literally am binge listening to this podcast and have been for some time. I can’t remember a day where I wasn’t listening to this podcast. And being a Harlem girl, Tamika Mallory is the GOAT and now my sorority sister.
