What is tokenism? Where do we see it? What's so bad about it? In today's episode we discuss these questions and more as we relate the concept of tokenism to Joe Biden's choosing Kamala Harris as his running mate in the 2020 Presidential election. The jazz audio clip in our intro is from www.bensounds.com and the audio in our ad is Nobody by Walter Wanderley. We hope you enjoyed this episode, thank you for listening! Before you go, we leave you with the Malcolm X quote: “You don't stick a knife in a man's back nine inches and then pull it out six inches and say you're making progress ... No matter how much respect, no matter how much recognition, whites show towards me, as far as I am concerned, as long as it is not shown to everyone of our people in this country, it doesn't exist for me.”

Hi everyone! Today we're talking about how society views women-- more specifically, how women celebrate and enjoy themselves. As young women, we've taken notice to how women are generally perceived and treated and it is very frustrating to say the least. We want to be clear; we know that not all men act this way (just listen, you'll get it), but we're talking about the ones who do. In this episode one of our recommendations is that you watch Disclosure on Netflix, and tell a friend to watch it too! The jazz clip in our intro is from www.bensounds.com and the audio in the beginning is a clip from a Pull Up interview with Megan Thee Stallion (someone edited Beyoncé's "Flawless" in the background).

We're not recommending tangible products today, but we highly recommend the Chloe x Halle album Ungodly Hour and the app Sleep Cycle, among other things. Thanks for listening. Have a great day!

Hi everyone! We took a mini hiatus to get settled into our apartments and to start the new semester, but we’re back! In this episode we discuss the pressures of being a young adult in a largely social environment. Sometimes it feels like we have to say yes to everything, like our life will pass us by if we don’t, but that’s not true! Find out why by listening to this episode.

In this episode, we recommend that you use reusable shopping bags. We also have a movie recommendation- The First Wives Club (on Netflix and Prime Video).
In this episode we discuss what it means to be a good person and why, in today’s society, it might be harder to be considered a Good Person than it used to. Morality and motivation determine just how good we are, but we have to find the line between always wanting to be better, and being "too good", if there is such a thing. The wonderful jazz audio clip in the beginning comes from www.bensound.com
