  • A Different World

    A Different World
    Oct 6 2026
    This week on CareFreeBlackGirl, we celebrate creator, showrunner, and executive producer Felicia Pride and her work bringing A Different World back to the screen. We unpack the girls of Hillman and the complicated realities of growing up, sexuality, religion, relationships, and self-discovery, before connecting those themes to current conversations around consent, sexual assault, campus culture, and why women, especially Black women, are so often expected to be “perfect” before they’re believed or protected. Plus, we get into the men of A Different World in This or That and close with a Get Free conversation about the internet’s obsession with Black women’s appearances, aging, and the recent commentary surrounding Jasmine Guy.

  • 2.0: Is Cheating a Dealbreaker?

    2.0: Is Cheating a Dealbreaker?
    Sep 22 2026
    We're back with another episode of the CareFreeBlackGirl Podcast, and this week we're talking relationships, cheating, and everything in between! After watching Why Did I Get Married Again?, we're giving Tyler Perry his flowers because, honestly, this might be some of his best work. But the movie also got us thinking about some real-life relationship questions. Is cheating an automatic dealbreaker? What if you find out about the cheating but still decide to get married? And let's talk about it... could you accept a break baby? We're also getting into whether movies need to have realistic storylines and the conversations surrounding women debuting new relationships before their previous relationships have officially ended. 👀 IN THIS EPISODE: Relationship Talk Is cheating a dealbreaker, or can a relationship survive infidelity? What if you knew about the cheating before getting married? Could you accept a break baby? Do movies need realistic storylines, or can we just enjoy the drama What's your take on debuting a new relationship before ending the previous one? Who Said Dat / Who Did Dat?
We're testing our knowledge of reality TV, relationships, and those unforgettable moments in Black pop culture. CareFree Keys
 The girls are sharing personal lessons on starting something new and knowing when it's time to walk away from things that no longer align with who you are or where you're headed. Outro & Community Updates Houston, we're coming! The squad is also gearing up for CultureCon and AfroTech, and we're already making moves for the 2027 CareFreeBlackGirl tour. Stay tapped in so you don't miss what's next! Tune in, join the conversation, and let us know: Is cheating really a dealbreaker for you? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Mind Your Business & Pass the Tony

    Mind Your Business & Pass the Tony
    Jun 23 2026
    This week we’re celebrating history while side-eyeing the nonsense. We spotlight Qween Jean becoming the first openly Black transgender woman to win a Tony Award for Best Costume Design for Cats: The Jellicle Ball and discuss what it means to see ballroom culture centered on Broadway with icons like Leiomy Maldonado and Chasity Moore helping bring the culture to life. Then we get into the ongoing attacks on Black women and trans women after comments targeting Michelle Obama and anti-trans rhetoric making headlines during Pride Month. Who gets harmed when people start policing what womanhood looks like? And why are Black women and trans women so often caught in the crossfire? Plus, our favorite game returns: To Be or Not To Be, where we’re choosing sides on summer flings, girls trips, exes, rosters, jumping into homegirl fights, and all the hot-girl chaos the season has to offer.
