Speak On... 2020

Speak On... 2020

This week, we're talking all about this year! 2020 has been a notable year, and we're taking some time to reflect on it. From the COVID-19 pandemic to the Black Lives Matter uprising, 2020 has been a year that has forced people to adapt, be agile, and get uncomfortable. We question, is this a year that will contribute to formidable change? What did it teach us and what did we learn? We talk in, about, and around all of this among much more- and we'll *feel* y'all in the new year. Enjoy!

Speak On... Boundaries

This week, we're talking all about boundaries. A word that's been brought up many times throughout this show, we decided to shed a spotlight on it as a whole. So what do boundaries look like? How do we learn to put them up? And what are some of the repercussions that come with crossing boundaries? All this, plus we decide to unpack respectability politics furthermore than we did past last week's episode. Enjoy!

Speak On... Shame

This week, we’re talking about shame. When we think of shame, we often think guilt, embarrassment, and other synonymous words- but does it work to use those terms interchangeably? Does shame have a place in social justice? We also question if you can shame people into being or doing better? All this, plus we talk about respectability politics, the 2021 Grammy nominations, among much more. Enjoy!

Speak On... Social Media

This week, we tackle the beast that is Social Media. Stemming from the Netflix documentary ‘The Social Dilemma’, we talk through how social media has shaped our society and culture. How has it benefitted and how has it harmed us? We also give our take on the most recent updates on Instagram and Twitter platforms. All this, plus our take on that Harry Styles/Candace Owens debacle, and how Michael B. Jordan (deservingly) received a new title. Enjoy!

Speak On... Imposter Syndrome

This week, we tackle impostor syndrome. Woof. We call on times we've experienced and suffered from it, ways in which we continue to- and how we process all of it. But with that, how do we overcome it? We also talk Joe Biden's Presidential win (*bless*), and is 2020 under new management? All this, and so much more. Enjoy!
