Black Experiences Off Script

Black Experiences Off Script

In this episode of So, About That…, host Jordan Hora takes a deep dive into "Black Experiences Off Script" and what the 2025–2026 awards season unintentionally revealed about the way Black people are perceived, celebrated, and scrutinized. From the Teyana Taylor/bodyguard Oscars incident to the "braids undone" comment at the BAFTAs and its aftermath, to the national conversation pitting Sinners against One Battle After Another, this awards season became a case study in how quickly public narratives can reinforce systems that leave Black people unprotected—even in moments of extraordinary achievement.

Lies Your Boss Told You

In this episode of So, About That…, host Jordan Hora takes a hard look at the professional advice many of us were taught to follow without question. "Fake it till you make it." "Keep your head down and work hard." "Straighten your hair if you want to get promoted." "No one cares about you—just perform." But what happens when the rules we were given were never designed with us in mind? Jordan explores the gap between the promise of success and the reality of pursuing it, examining the hidden costs of workplace conformity, performative professionalism, and career advice that often demands authenticity be sacrificed for acceptance.

Gossip, Group Chats & Grown Folks Business

In this episode of So, About That…, host Jordan Hora examines the blurry line between gossip and sharing your experience. The central question: Where’s the line between protecting your community and destroying someone’s reputation? Where is the line between gossip, processing, and pattern recognition?

So, About… The Love We Inherited

In this special episode of So, About That…, host Jordan Hora blends tenderness with a little side-eye to unpack the generational lessons about love we absorbed — whether we asked for them or not. From family dynamics and chosen community to emotional restraint, public affection, and vulnerability, this conversation explores the quiet messages passed down through households, churches, movements, and social timelines. This isn’t just about dating. It’s about non-romantic love, self-love that isn’t performative, and the idea of love as liberation — not just aesthetic.
