EP 201 WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW? JUNETEENTH

🤯 WAIT... How did we make it all the way to 2017 before learning about Juneteenth? You're not alone. In Episode 201 of Thee Chit Chat Podcast, we're kicking off a new season with a conversation that left us asking: Why wasn't this part of our education? Why did such an important piece of American history feel like a regional secret? For many of us, it wasn't until the now-iconic Black-ish Juneteenth episode from Kenya Barris that Juneteenth entered the national conversation. 🎙️ This week, we're unpacking: ✨ Why Juneteenth wasn't widely taught ✨ How regional traditions shaped awareness ✨ The rich history behind the celebration ✨ The food, family, culture, and joy that make Juneteenth so special Because the more we know about our history, the more we can honor and celebrate it. And trust us—the traditions are rich, meaningful, and delicious. ❤️🖤💚 👇 Be honest: When did YOU first learn about Juneteenth?  How do you celebrate Juneteenth?

EP 106 - BLACK DON'T CRACK!?! - BODY IMAGE

Thee ChitChat Podcast is back… and yeah, we picked this right up from the group chat. 👀 This episode? We’re getting real about body image in your 40s and what it actually looks like to age as a Black woman — not the highlight reel, the real version. The pressure to “measure up,” the body changes nobody warned you about, and that quiet shift of learning to love yourself again in a new season. It’s laughter. It’s honesty. It’s “wait… I thought it was just me.” If this already sounds like a conversation you’ve been having, go ahead and subscribe — and bring a homegirl with you. 🎙️ Pull up — the group chat is open. 💬 #TheeChitChatPodcast #BlackDontCrack #BodyImage #WomenOver40 #BlackWomenHealing #GroupChatEnergy #RaeAndKia

EP 105 What's Your Sign, Girl!? | Thee Chitchat Podcast

Wait… y’all really letting zodiac signs explain your behavior like that?! 👀♍🔥 This episode? Whew. We’re going from horoscopes and zodiac chaos to conversations people don’t talk about enough - including the real issue of harassment in unexpected spaces (yes… even librarians). Rae and Kia get into how astrology shapes how we see ourselves and each other, where it actually comes from (hint: it didn’t start where you think 👀), and how colonization flipped and remixed the narrative. We’re talking African astronomical roots, spirituality vs religion, and whether we’re using the stars for insight… or excuses. And of course - we had to break down these signs. The traits, the patterns, the “yeah that’s DEFINITELY a Gemini” moments 😭 Yeah… this one goes from fun to deep REAL quick. Pull up — the group chat is open. 💬🎙️ Takeaways: * Are zodiac signs insight… or a crutch? * The overlooked reality of harassment in everyday spaces * The real origins of astrology and how culture shaped it Chapters: 00:00 Personal Traits & Relationship Patterns 30:31 Zodiac Signs & Horoscope Talk 36:00 Colonization & Astrology 41:23 Spirituality vs Religion 48:00 Rewriting the Narrative 53:54 Culture, Belief & Impact #TheeChitChatPodcast #ZodiacTalk #AstrologyDebate #BlackPodcasters #SpiritualityVsReligion #CulturalConversations #PodcastClips #GroupChatEnergy #DeepConversations
