I would like for Assante to get his point across in full before he is cut off or inturrupted. This was a very interesting topic but was constantly inturrupted. I love all yall and appreciate all the different persepectives, but let him talk.

gone girl was EVERYTHING.  book even better

Fran that record got me on a rabbit hole. (Wizkid is a jame). I went to Tems idk if you have talked about her before but every so often you get blown away by how amazing a singer is and she is one of them. Thank you 1000 times over. 

Feedback from a loving space with consideration/grace of the panny. I would really like to see more structured conversations with clear topics. This seemed like a longer tv segment without a clear message. 

I was waiting for the topic of wandavision to reach the central theme which is grief and how one deals with it. Love yall

Yes baby I saw that scene. He got a long tongue.

Hey friend zone gang! I just discorevered the band "Thee Sacred Souls" and had to think about the friendzone family! I'm sure many of you will vibe with their music :D

Thanos And Angie Stone

This episode’s first topic  was inspired by a show that Envy and Gia watched on TV in which one of the cast members wants to get married to her long time boyfriend. The couple has two kids and he hasn’t proposed as yet, knowing that she yearns for a proposal and to be made “respectable” more than anything...😳 Ladies would you propose to your man if you felt that a proposal from him was not on the horizon? Fellas how would you feel if your partner proposed to you? Would you feel put on the spot or find it to be endearing? Do you have a expiration date when it comes to dating and the transition from boyfriend/girlfriend to fiancé? Envy & Gia share their thoughts on the subject...
The 📧 Emails Of The Week 📧 are comprised of two emails...
1.) The first begs the question, does reaching out to an ex for a special occasion or to simply see how they’re doing insinuate that you want to rekindle the romance or rekindle a booty call? 🤭
2.) This emailer shares having to schedule sex with her partner because sometimes life just gets in the way… Couples, do you find yourself doing this more often than not? How  do you feel about scheduling sex and managing expectations? 
Let’s talk about it...🗣🗣🗣

Episode 192: Ladies Would You Propose To Your Man...?

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up!

On this episode…Colorism, COLORISM, colourism - that’s what we’re on today. Between a white-passing Meghan Markle being shunned by the royal family to Lovecraft Country putting a whole light-skinned Black person in blackface, we gotta talk about colorism. . . again.
 
This week’s hot list: Lil Nas X is a gem. Idris Elba is giving sexy dad on The Long Run, go watch it. Did Christina M. Jenkins invent weave or weeve? Racism ruins the water system of an entire city, the English monarchy reminds us who’s the realest white supremacist. Lightskinned complacency vs losing your privilege and the bag. And a lil homophobia, some toxic masculinity and mad other ish
