Episode 5: Why is Women's Sexuality so Taboo? And Who Polices the Police?

08/13/20 • 58 min

Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion's WAP is the most "controversial" video this year...but why? In this episode, we dive into the stigmas surrounding female sexuality. We discuss the backlash received when women embrace it for their own pleasure rather than for male entertainment (oops, did we step on your ego?). Later, we tackle the fine line between appreciation and appropriation and how many fall on the side of the latter. We close with a discussion on trust. Understanding how to build (and rebuild) it, and why the trust account between Black people and the police is overdrawn.

Episode 4: Getting Out Of Your Head and Embracing Discomfort Leads to Joy

Over the past month, we received an overwhelming outpour of support and encouragement for the podcast. With so much support, however, fear seeped into our thoughts (unknown to each other). These fears came out while recording this episode. We felt it was important that people hear us talk through vulnerabilities together and practice exactly what we preached: leaning into fear.

Topics discussed:

Finding the motivation to pursue our passions
How new experiences and expand our perceptions
Embracing uncertainty and leaning into fear
