Learning to Drive, Celebrating the "Rihannas" in Your Life, and What You Said

There's No Escape: The paradox of having a light show in a heavy time

After a time away (and many lost episodes), Pierrette Masimango and Bunmi Adeoye process (and grapple with) recent tragedies and unaddressed traumas. We talk about the fatigue, the distractions, the dwindling cautious optimism, the rage, the endless cycle of grief, the depression, and the numbness that comes from the relentless onslaught of global atrocities. How do we move forward? How do we process? What are we doing? How do we cultivate joy? We break it down in this episode. Thank you for listening! :)

Learning to Drive, Celebrating the "Rihannas" in Your Life, and What You Said

This is Bunmi Adeoye and Pierrette Masimango's DMs and text chats brought to life. In this episode, we talk about: - All the lovely feedback that y'all have been sharing with us (you all had us in our feels), - The Rihanna Vogue and what it means for our own lives (how can we give the love that we have for RiRi to those in our own circle), and - Hidden talents (or skills!) that we wished we had (hint: driving, swimming and playing the saxophone!) Have a lil listen! :)

Can I carry you on my shoulders at a music festival??

Pierrette Masimango and Bunmi Adeoye took a minute with this one because there was a lot to grapple with with the world. We have as many "lost episodes" as we do live episodes. But, alas, here we are! In that time our DMs and texts were popping with hot takes, "I... opps", head shakes, and wiggle dances. We found moments of joy and reflection on topics such as Love Is Blind (Shayne is Bunmi's type... lol 🤷🏿‍♀️ The heart wants what the heart wants), unfortunate statements at an awards ceremony (cringe AF 🤦🏿‍♀️), Riri's maternity fashion watch (we touch on one or two other major maternity moments in history), and grace and care in times of turmoil and grief.
