Customer Reviews
Thank you so much for the hair episode!
It’s so crazy that in 2019 we are STILL dealing with this. It’s definitely getting better, and a lot more women of color are embracing their natural hair, but it is STILL looked down upon in society. Especially in the tv/film world. Very very very important episode.
LOVE!
I absolutely love this podcast. These women are smart, thoughtful, engaging, and they really care. Can’t wait for every episode!
Addressing the Elephant in the Newsroom
A lot of women in the newsrooms across the country deal with so many issues ranging from low self-esteem to sexism. I thank you ladies for sharing your experiences that are very well the same stories many other women in news are keeping quiet about! Keep being great, Sierra and Carolyn!🌸
