Ayyyeeee…Where the party at?! Whether it's the first pure joy of the first 30 seconds of the Swag Surf, HBCU homecomings, the family bbq or a kick-back, we can make any gathering a joyous occasion. In this custom episode presented by Target, we’ll dig into the sacred space that is the Black party, various social settings, and why we all have that friend who NEEDS to request songs in the DJ booth.
We’ll also have a chat with the immensely talented comedian and writer Yvonne Orji. Yvonne shares her party persona, career journey and new book Bamboozled by Jesus. We'll also get in our feelings bag as she talks the emotions of being Molly and her final scene in HBO's Insecure.

We can never deny that the style, swag, and extra seasoning we bring elevates everything we do to luxury status. In this episode, we're breaking down the concept of luxury and what it means for us. Our dollars have power and our style transcends the culture, yet we still lack the equity we deserve in the luxury industry. How is it that “Black Luxury” is still undefined and why doesn’t luxury seem to love us back?? And really – what does luxury even mean: is it logos from head to toe, a trip to the Maldives, or just some time with the crew, ourselves, and our favorite Black-owned products. Let's discuss. Then, we have a chat with fashion icon and boss, Elaine Welteroth, who gives us her stance on fashion, Black luxury, shifting priorities, and the best wheels for auntie season.

We are back, kicking off season 5 with your favorite R29 Unbothered crew. The whole Fab 5 lineup is here and ready to talk after a summer full of questions – and we need answers. As we head back to work, school, and well, reality, we're talking about a reboot. We are pressing the restart button on our lives this fall, and getting real about what exactly we're doing. But what does reality mean now? What lessons have we learned and unlearned? How are we moving forward as individuals and as a community? From summer expectations in love, life, work, and friendship to why we don't have more men crying in the rain for us, we're heading into this new season with clear boundaries, love for each other, and a little something called discernment. So, let's reboot the timeline!

We’re diving into Black twitter, Black luxury, Black sweat, Black excellence and what that means for us. We’ll also figure out our new money moves because that sea moss biz didn’t work out like we planned.

This is not a mirage sis, WE ARE BACK for an extra special bonus episode that’s full of all the old school feels! The OG Go Off, Sis fam is back together and we’re talking about everything that’s at the intersection of now and memory lane. We’re diving into the '90s trends that deserve a revisit, from the fashion and culture, to a real conversation about how Black women were portrayed in our fave films and R&B songs. From Waiting to Exhale, to Jodeci and SWV, we talk things we love, the toxic themes we’re leaving behind, and why even our old school faves could have used therapy. Then, we sit down with forever icon and stylist Misa Hylton who tells us about her start in fashion, how she demanded respect in the Wild West of '90s hip hop, and why she’s the best HR manager we’ve ever met.

There is so much going on in the world and most of the time, life is just NOT funny and can be heavy, especially for us. We see the passing of icons, continued police brutality against young Black women and men, and there's still a pandemic. Laughter has been our medicine! Today, we're talking Black comedy, belly laughs and how we push through the pain. We also dive into the joy of Group Therapy aka the Group Chat.
And as we close out the season, we're letting you yes, you - GO OFF SIS! We listened to your messages, rants, glow-ups, and “tell em why you mad” audio and shared our faves! Lala Milan, our favorite funny girl to follow, joins the roundtable to give her *on point* advice for our audience, share her Private Investigator super skills, and tell us why she's never going back to corporate America.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Ok, not really! It is Spring, but Mercury is in another retrograde or micro braid or even the 90’s flat-twist with the thick black gel. Remember!? However, Spring is also a great time for personal housekeeping, so we're pushing through and cleansing our mental, physical, and emotional palettes. We're talking about taking big leaps asking how are we restoring, reinventing, and spiritually recalibrating this season? Then, we chat with the youngest boss in the game, Executive Producer and Actress Marsai Martin for a conversation on those BIG leaps. We take a deep dive into her career, her #NoBlackPain project rule, taking a break, and that Big Leo Energy!

Black women are THEE trendsetters and always have been, so we're talking all things fashion and giving flowers to our fashionable selves! The trends we loved, the ones we hope never make a comeback, and the history of Black expression and cultural appropriation. But real talk, what's in your closet? This episode, we're asking ourselves: do we even need more clothes, are there really ‘Stimi-check” sales, can we be more sustainable, and why exactly does Black luxury feel like such a foreign concept? Then we sit down with powerhouse Fashion Stylist, Ade Samuel, who answers our burning questions on her career, how to build an ecosystem of Black creatives in the fashion industry, and styling on a budget. Sidebar: she has adorned and dressed our imaginary ex-boyfriends Michael B. Jordan AND Kofi Siriboe! Faint.

This past year, you’ve dreamed of sun-soaked beaches and getting flewed out. You’ve spent months planning that post-panini trip, and gave side eyes to everyone who headed to the airport, because look, so did WE. So, this episode, we’re talking travel, because even though we’re not going anywhere just *yet*, we can dream.
From our earliest memories of hitting the open road to our current fears, and anxiety surrounding it, we’re breaking down the specific experience of traveling as a Black woman. We’ll also be chatting with Digital Creator and travel aficionado Jessica Franklin to talk about the places where we’re celebrated, the best international pick up lines she’s curved, and why she needs a two weeks notice if the next destination has water.

Turn left, now turn right….do you like your home? If we’ve learned anything over this past year it’s that our homes – and feeling at home – can play a major part in our overall happiness. In this custom episode, we’re not bringing the receipts, but we’re reading them very closely to figure out why home is so important to us, many first and second-generation families, and our community, but we still don’t know how to even go about buying one. We’re also talking to Robin and Andréa of The McBride Wine Collection, two sisters who found home within each other, before becoming the largest Black-owned wine company EVER, and showing that Black Girl Magic isn’t just a catchy phrase, but also an international best selling business.
