Customer Reviews
Candid, Considerate, & Cackles!
I listened to the episode with Delali and Nathalia while I walked to the grocery store and idk how to explain it but all of you just made me feel safe and like I was actually hanging with girlfriends. I was smiling and cackling right along with y’all. So many amazing and thought provoking conversations!
Thoughtful and Fun
This podcast is a great mix of critical thinking and super enjoyable banter. I love the emphasis on blackness not being a monolith. Race and intersectionality can be examined in so many enjoyable and accessible ways
A podcast we need!
This is a podcast I’ve been listening to since it started. The hosts are so funny and genuine, and are really open about their lived experiences and opinions. I really feel like we need more podcasts like this!
