this episode right here, whew. a difficult one but very much so necessary - we discuss the state of africa and the events taking place in Nigeria, Congo and many other countries within the continent. our hearts are so so heavy and we're enraged to say the least, we know some people may have differing opinions to us but one thing everyone should and can agree on is that this is NOT right. as mentioned, our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who have lost their loved ones at the hands of those in charge abusing their power. ⠀ ⠀ SOCIALS: ⠀ sdwts twitter @sdwtspodcast ⠀ sdwts instagram @sdwtspodcast ⠀ ashley's instagram @ashpierrex ⠀ ayo's instagram @ayo.jpeg ⠀ temi's instagram @temiallenn_ ⠀ temi's twitter @temiiallen_⠀ ⠀

this is a well overdue topic that we’ve wanted to discuss and it’s the toxicity of purity culture. the idea that if you keep yourself ‘pure’ till marriage, it guarantees you a good man/husband and somehow increases your value. also, this narrative and responsibility pushed on women ONLY to uphold themselves in order to not be a stumbling block unto men, among other ideologies.
