We are back with part two of Invest in Thyself. We hope you made those deposits to grow your personal, platonic and romantic portfolios.
But today, let’s cue the 90’s soundtrack, "Let’s talk about Sex, Baby!" Black women, have been over-sexualized for decades, yet understanding pleasure and sexual exploration remains taboo. Today, we are pushing boundaries! We are having a healthy discussion around safety, kinks, partnership and communication.
We couldn’t just have one guest for this, we brought in a Unbothered Alum, Kourtney Pope of Don’t Yuck My Yummm. Then, to heat things up even more, we have the “Dr. Ruth Meets Rihanna,” Shan Broodram, sexologist and host of the Lover’s & Friends Podcast. Shan is answering listener questions, redefining healthy sex, and empowering people to be their own sex and relationships experts.

Is it time to cash in!? Today, we are going to the bank, in a two-part series called Invest in ThySelf! As the season changes and the days become shorter, it is inevitable that we will hear the phrase CUFFING SEASON.
We are kicking off, part one of “Invest In Thyself,” discussing and rethinking how we invest in interpersonal and external connections. What are we doing before entering into romantic relationships? How do we invest in maintaining healthy relationships and are we shifting to prioritize friendships over romance as the cornerstone of our emotional support? Joining the Unbothered roundtable, we have actress and content creator, Joy Ofodu shaking the table as usual in a variety of voices and sharing her new web-series Hard Launch.

Whether, it’s Serena with the left, Simone with the flip or Sha’Carri with the swift, Black women continue to put in the work within sports and the culture. Flowers are far overdue and the list continues to grow as Black women put in both mental and physical sweat, equity and labor within the sports industry. On this episode, we're shedding light on our women in sports and the problematic concerns around pay, player treatment and personal style despite their dedication to the craft. Our special guest is the passionate, smart and talented Nigerian-American WNBA Player of the LA Sparks and President of the WNBPA, Nneka Ogwumike. She shares her long career journey, how a “little” advocacy goes a long way and the effects of what happens when you give women space to use their voices in the sports industry.

No matter what side of the table you are on - scams are always around us, and as we talk about finesse as a concept, why does it always look different for Black women? Is it wrong to get flewed out by your Fairy God Sugar Daddy? Should a man pay for all of your friends at a group dinner? Unfortunately, this is not a tutorial or the recipe, but surely entertaining! Our special guest, viral sensation, XXL Freshman Class of 2022, artist & songwriter, Kali brings all the tricks, treats and toxic chocolate!

As we roll into the summer, we have a real question....What are we going to do with our hair?!? From afros, knotless braids, wigs, butterfly locs, 36" bundles scrubbing the ground, we have some options. However, Black women have had an interesting relationship with our hair. Today we are going to talk about everything from our personal relationship with hair, a pandemic length check, to the red flags when booking a stylist and more! Our special guest to pull up to this discussion is the one and only Shelby Swain, who is synonymous with art and hair couture. As a celebrity hairstylist, performing artist and the “Beyonce’' of Baby Hair, Shelby shares her own personal hair history, career and how “talking to your hair” just might give it some crop!

Sun’s out…..fIll in the rest! Whether you’re on a vacation, getting flown out, festival hopping or rooftop brunching - you deserve to enjoy YOUR summer, and what better way to enjoy the vibes than music. We are talking about summa tings from outside festivities, festival culture, soundtracks that do not need pop artist on the remix, the artist we love and the influence of music. And yes, we are still keeping the unpopular opinion energy this season. To keep the “mani pedi” frequencies flowing, we have special guest rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer, Baby Tate. We go on the journey of her career, new music, body acceptance, social media and grabbing the megaphone to Go Off. Also, she has given us the cheat code to our Atlanta trip for the Glow Up!
