"The Real Hoodwives of Chicago" is a podcast for artists of color to talk love, sex, romance, and ratchetry. So often we hear folks of color's stories second-hand. Scripted. Edited. Given a “Sex and the City” makeover. Well not here. Here are our raw, unedited, unmasked stories. Learn about our romantic desires, our conquests, our fluidity and strengths.  Tune in in to hear us discuss our body and bodies of work.  We get scholarships and free drinks. We like uberEats and date night. Nikes and RedBottoms. Lauryn Hill and Cardi B. We are not monolithic. We got layers baby.
