Ep.12| Commit Or Quit

Did you miss us? Join us this week as we unpack the Academy Awards, Miley Cyrus’ new album, the official Little Mermaid trailer release, and Yara Shahidi starring in the new live-action Peter Pan as Tinkerbell. This week we dive into commitment and discuss why we think our generation has taken the cultural stance that we have on the subject. We get into the different stages of commitment, what it would take from a partner to make you feel comfortable committing to them, and how sometimes, we tend to overcomplicate commitment. Get into it!

Ep. 11| Big, Black and Won't Turn Back (The Melanin Diaries Part 4)

Welcome to our last episode of The Melanin Diaries featuring special guest Jaylen Bryant. Today we unpacked Rihanna’s super bowl performance/pregnancy, Blac Chyna’s Mother and the Illuminati, the new Chick-fil-a cauliflower sandwich, and Jen Shah finally reporting to prison. We finished The Melanin Diaries on the subject of forgiveness, and we discussed what it actually takes to forgive someone over a racially motivated incident, what determines whether or not someone even deserves forgiveness, and what to do when you are struggling to forgive. We hope you enjoyed The Melanin Diaries. Happy Black History Month!

Ep. 9| Can't Touch This Melanin (The Melanin Diaries Part 2)

Come kick it with us and special guest Imani Brissett for part two of The Melanin Diaries! Today we chopped it up about Beyoncés ticket prices, Latto’s new mystery sugar daddy, the Academy Award nominations, and Rihanna developing a new Fenty kids clothing line. This segment of The Melanin Diaries is all about advocation. We sit down with Imani to discuss how to go about standing up against racism in predominantly White artistic spaces, how to handle people who have good intentions but struggle with ignorance, what to do with people whose perspectives and experiences are too limited to bridge cultural gaps, and what it will take to get those who are privileged to truly start to understand what it’s like to walk in our shoes. Get your notepad ready because Imani dropped some knowledge on us for free!
