Episode 6: Best Friends, Fake Energy, & Real Advice

In this episode of CrownedCast, the mic is officially passed to two new voices. Olivia and O'Niyah introduce themselves and share the story behind their friendship -- from becoming close to facing challenges that almost came between them. The girls open up about loyalty, navigating drama, and how outside pressure can test even the strongest friendships. They also take the conversation further by discussing things young Black girls should know as they grow, from protecting your peace to learning who your real friends are. With honesty, laughter, and a little tea, Episode 6 is about friendship, growth, and speaking the truths that many girls are thinking but rarely say out loud.

Walk-Outs, Black History Month & BBQ Pizza?

In this episode, the girls step into courageous conversation. Following a recent meeting where student walkouts were discouraged, the hosts reflect on why speaking out—especially for students who don’t yet have the power to vote—can still be powerful and necessary. They explore the difference between disruption and advocacy, and what it means to make your voice heard responsibly. The episode also weaves in spoken poetry inspired by their Black History Month figures, moments of laughter over everyday school life (yes, including cafeteria BBQ pizza), and ends with a confident reminder that this platform exists to amplify their voices. Honest, thoughtful, and unapologetically student-led—this episode reminds listeners that youth expression matters.

"You're a Mean One, Mrs. Grinch"

In this festive but fiery episode, Gabby teams up with a special guest-host to unwrap one of the season’s spiciest topics: Mean Girls… or as we call them, the Mrs. Grinches. The girls break down what really makes someone a “Mean Girl,” explore the different types of Grinches roaming the halls, and share hilarious (and relatable) stories about encounters with holiday-season negativity. But it’s not all shade and side-eye—Gabby and our guest-host put a warm twist on things by revealing what gifts they’d give a Mrs. Grinch to help soften her heart and turn that frown right-side up. It’s real, it’s funny, it’s reflective, and it’s full of girl-powered honesty. Grab your cocoa—this episode is a whole vibe.
