We are back for our final episode of Season 4 of “Girl! You Know It” and we are so incredibly excited to have had the one and only Akoreke Bamidele join us for this episode that we’ve titled ‘Abroad We Go: Black Gyal Edition’ For those of you who don’t know, Akorede is one of our BWCV team interns, joining us as she completes her master’s degree through Adler University. During this episode, she and Abi dish the tea on what it’s like to move abroad and the successes and challenges that come with it. The act of leaving one’s family and friends to have new experiences is one brave act and Akorede shares with us what lessons she’s learned along the way.  Also Akorede is vibes on vibes and chatting with her was one hilarious experience!  Make sure to watch and listen to the episode wherever you get your podcast from!

Folks! We’ve missed y’all so much! And we’re back for another episode of “Girl! You Know It” On this episode, the illustrious Shayla Bird stopped by to join Elle and Abi for a discussion we’re calling ‘Educating While Black’, giving us the inside scoop on what it’s like to be a Black teacher in the Lower Mainland in this day and age. We chat about showing up for the children, showing up for fellow educators and, most importantly, showing up for oneself as a teacher. Navigating the education system can be overwhelming when trying to propel anti-Black racism efforts forward as a Black person in a colonial system while also trying to build up and empower Black children and youth to fully step into their own. Don’t worry: there are definitely light moments and laughs to listen to as well!

Happy new year, folks! We hope that got to spend the holiday season with loved ones and vegging out! We’ve got another gift for you: a new “Girl! You Know It” episode 🙌🏾 On this episode, “Reflections on Friendships”, the girlies discuss about how vital friendships and communities are for our lives while recognizing that not everyone can come with us to new life stages (which is sometimes a hard pill to swallow for each of us). We also jump on the AITA train and read a couple of juicy internet tales! Make sure you watch the podcast on our YouTube channel and stream anywhere you can!
