Black & 'burban

Episode 2.05: Maybe they worked for it... nah, it's Privilege (w/ Israel Vaughan)

This week Calil and Niah dive into a conversation with a returning guest, Israel Vaughan. We're talking about privilege and what to do with that silver spoon we maybe have been fortunate enough to be born with. It can get a little awkward, but acknowledging the realities of the world we live in and the privilege we may have is the only way to put us on a path toward equity. Join us as we share our experience and let us know your take on our Instagram @blacknburban!

Episode 2.04: Calling Out (4C) Kink Shaming

Black hair is so complex. In this episode we share our experiences learning our kinky coils and curls… and trying not to spend all our rent money to get it fried, dyed, and laid to the side. Join us for this celebration of all things Black Hair!

Episode 2.03: Code Switching? …or Gatekeeping our Culture (w/ Courtney Marie)

In this episode, we dive into the topic of code-switching with our cousin Courtney Marie. Together, we explore the reasons behind code-switching, the toll it can take on one's sense of identity and belonging, and the historical and cultural roots of the practice within the Black community. With personal anecdotes and insights from Courtney, we unpack the nuances of this complex and fascinating phenomenon, and consider what it tells us about language, culture, and power in society. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that sheds light on the challenges and realities of being Black in America.

Episode 2.02: Big ICK Energy (w/ Lani Mason)

Dating can be a battlefield and in this week's episode we're talking Red Flags and Icks with Niah's best friend, Lani! It could be anything from chewing with your mouth open to gaslighting in arguments. We're discussing all of the things that turn us off in relationships and how we deal with them.

Episode 2.01: Welcome to the Hood ...Adulthood

Welcome back, Neighbors! Calil & Niah are back for Season 2!! Niah just graduated from college and is starting life as an adult. Spoiler alert... it's ghetto. Nonetheless, we rally. Join us for this chat about young adulthood and the many transitions we face in our 20's. Empowered with strong coping mechanisms (and maybe a therapist), we're excited to take on this next phase in our lives.
