According to a study completed by the CDC between 1999 and 2020 that analyzed homicide rates of Black women ages 25 to 44 across 30 states, black women are 6 times more likely to be killed than white women. In Wisconsin, they’re 20 times more likely! Black women living in Midwestern and Northeastern states were also more likely to be killed by a firearm. Shannon and Lisa end Women's History Month by discussing these big facts, femicide, and ebony alerts.

See you in June!

These days, we hear terms like "gentle parenting," but have you ever been popped so hard you can't scream or speak? Historically, black parents didn't play because that could literally be a life or death situation. Shannon, Lisa, and Karen discuss their own parenting styles versus the way they were parented, the disappearance of "the village," and the underlying love that existed despite the more harsh style of discipline of black parents of the past.

Meg Thee Stallion, Nikki Minaj, Cardi B, Latto, Ice Spice, Coi Leray, Lola Brooke, Sexyy Red... these are some of hip-hop's most popular female artists today. From their lyrics to the way they dress, it's obvious that this is an industry where sex sells. Are they being exploited by record execs or liberated by the ability to do what they want with their bodies in this space? The OGs didn't dress or talk that way.

Shannon, Lisa, Karen, and special guest, Imani Blair of Lick the Rapper Podcast, discuss these things and more.

Black men date and marry outside their race all the time, but when black women do it, it’s a problem. Shannon, Lisa, and Karen discuss black men who refuse to date black women and why black men make such a big deal about a black woman choosing a different flavor.
