You Good, Sis?
Alexia Maree
Alexia Maree hosts You Good, Sis? or YGS- a wellness-ish podcast with an emphasis on the "ish." It's much too ridiculous over here to make it sound too serious.

For The Kulture
It's September, and fireworks are still going off in our neighborhood. That doesn't have anything to do with what we talked about this week... but it's important to note.

Free AF (feat. Erika Totten)
There's a lot going on out there, and we're just trying to make sense of it all... which is easier to do when you talk to someone like our guest, Erika Totten. A healer, activist, community builder and facilitator, Erika left us with gems on claiming your purpose, setting boundaries and navigating motherhood. What does raising "free people" look like? How can our activism change as our lives change? Oh... and this is a Chloe x Halle and Jurnee Smollett stan account! Because they deserve.

My Neck, My WAP (feat. Kia Speaks)
When we're not hype about Cardi and Meg or conflicted about Kamala Harris, you can find us bracing ourselves for seasonal depression by stanning for our favorite toddlers.

This week, cultural critic and writer Kia Speaks (@kiaspeaks) shares her journey with self-care in the pandemic and her brilliant perspective on justice, sex, gender and theology. We hope y'all love listening to this interview as much as we enjoyed hosting it!...

Panic! At The Apollo
If you have a panic attack, try not to have it backstage at your favorite podcast's live show. But if you do, make sure to have a roommate that will yell at people for you. Also of note: Blue Ivy is King. Self-care includes self-discipline. Respect Nina Simone always.

In Memory of Limited Too
Is it Netflix or is it UPN? This week, and always, we're rooting for everybody Black (with sense) and loving when allies open their purses. We also love when we successfully find therapists, but they must be Prince fans. That's not up for negotiation. Hopefully, our histories with searching for therapists can help and inspire you. Oh... and theme songs from Black sitcoms in the 90s/00s are undefeated.

It's Been A Little Bit Crazy (feat. Jenny Laroche, pt. 2)
Send Tamar some love, mute Kanye's tweets, step away from your phone sometimes and remember that we're all just trying to hang on. You know we're here to give you "wellness-ish." This week is more wellness than "ish," with a splash of tea from the second half of our interview with Jenny Laroche. Also, Merle Dandridge sings but Grace Greenleaf still does not... and donate to the fight against breast cancer by joining Kayla's team with Susan G. Komen! #KaylaForTheKure
