EP 24: What If I Don't Have Friends Of My Race? (Part 1)
Explicit content warning
03/06/25 • 61 min
With Black History Month coming to a close, Daysha wanted to explore how the race of our friends can impact how we are perceived by others. When it comes to BIPOC people who either have fewer or no friends of their race, the implication is often that they aren't [Black, Brown, Asian, etc.] enough, but how much truth is there to that assumption? And is it possible for us to exist in a world where we don't have to think about these things as marks against our love of our culture?

EP 23: Friendship Vs Romance--Is It Worth The Risk? FT. Curly Velasquez
Happy Galentine's Day and almost Valentine's Day, besties!
Have you been struggling with having romantic feelings for your best friend? Are you unsure about whether or not you should tell them? Well, Daysha has definitely been there and invites her BuzzFeed bestie, Curly Velasquez, on the podcast to discuss the pros and cons of revealing your feelings and risking your friendship for romance.
Curly Velasquez is a Salvadoran Los Angeles-based creator. He began his career working for celebrity photographer David LaChapelle, and design icon Jeremy Scott. Curly began work with BuzzFeed as a receptionist but quickly became a viral sensation and one of the founding members of one of the largest digital Latino platforms—Pero Like. You can also see Curly on Hulu’s VIDA (Seasons 2 and 3), Netflix’s documentary Mucho Mucho Amor, E!, and PBS’ Dead and Buried—oh, and his iHeart podcast with his best friend Maya Murillo called the super secret bestie club.

EP 25: What Does It Mean To Be A Girl's Girl in 2025? FT. Becky Harris
With it being the beginning of March, which ushers in Women's History Month and International Women's Day, Daysha decided to chat with her favorite feminist bestie, Becky Harris, on what it means to be a "girl's girl" in 2025.
How are we actually showing up for and supporting women in an intersectional way in 2025? What are we trying to communicate when we say another woman is a girl’s girl? And are there ways in which we weaponize this phrase to silence other women?
