What is Black love? In this episode, we're breaking it all the way down, from our Black couple goals to how vulnerability and sexuality play into what it’s like to love and be loved. We open up about dating as a Black woman, the love lessons from our parents, and what makes a good relationship work. Then, we get into it with the one and only Meagan Good, who's spent much of her career telling Black love stories, and has so many stories of her own she's now ready to tell. She shares some gems about being a woman of faith in Hollywood, getting over people not loving your energy, and how she came back to herself after a skin-lightening experience that changed her life.

A year into this pon de’ replay we’re examining self-love and how we’re taking care of our own needs even if it seems…selfish. Our sisters share the ways they are good to themselves but how it can get challenging thanks to forces like social media. In talking with the self-love queen herself, Jill Scott shares the favorite parts of herself and the simple practices she uses to love upon mind and body. And like a true big sis, she’s giving us the advice she’d give her 15-year-old self while schooling us on why it’s important we take our time when it comes to love.

We’re kicking off season four with some THOUGHTS! We’re back and getting real about what we’ve learned and loved in 2020, along with what we’re looking for from each other and ourselves in this new year. Between people policing our culture and our bodies, we’re asking...who’s really protecting Black women? And why is the answer always...US? We also sit down with activist, educator, and all-around sister, Brittany Packnett Cunningham, to talk about love in the time of activism, what intersectional freedom means, and the power of ‘radical discernment’ for Black women in this panini press of a mess.

We're closing the season on a spicy note, and getting real about the HBCU hookup this episode. Whether you’re looking for a job, a best friend, or a boo for cuffing season, the tight knit community has a way of hooking up our people for life. We dive into the differences in hookup culture at school, building that connect post-college, and the power of the HBCU bat signal. And this time, we get a little help from our special guest – the newest Black superhero, TV's first-ever Black Batwoman and Hampton grad Javicia Leslie.

America has taken our vote and run with it without ever fully acknowledging us but this year we’re not only demanding to be seen but we’re on the ballot. As we continue our fight for equity and a seat at the table we have a real conversation about our role as community leaders, our consistent instinct to be activist and allies for ALL and a chat with Yandy Smith-Harris about being on the front lines and what she wants to see happen if her Howard classmate is elected.

In this custom episode, we're celebrating Homecoming and talking our favorite characters, cultural moments, and icons from the world of HBCUs. We're doing roll call and reviewing the credits – from Drumline and Stomp the Yard to Beychella and Hillman. Then, we roll out the red carpet for original Hillman grad herself Cree Summer for one of our best conversations EVER on being a legend as Freddie Brooks, voicing a generation, and why Susie Carmichael most definitely ended up at an HBCU.

While sports are vital to most college experiences, HBCUs generally put the actual game at the bottom of the Homecoming list. But, as more of our top athletes commit to Black colleges and Universities and social justice conversations play out on and off the court, it's time to dive into the link between sports culture and Black culture today. We’re talking about what it means to be Black in sports, why Black women seem to be left behind even though we are always first, and how we set ourselves up for success after the stadium lights turn down.

As Black women, the pledge that we make to each other is a lifelong bond. Our sisterhood in action is witnessed by taking care of each other and nowhere is that more prevalent than in OUR sororities. In this episode we’ll chat about the definition of sisterhood at HBCUs, the misconceptions we had of Black girls in White sororities, and how a legacy driven mindset can empower you. We’ll also chat with the woman that showed us every aspect of what being a Girlfriend looks like, the one and only Mara Brock Akil.
