Room 3228

Well, it might be a new year, but it's still the same old us. The girls of Room 3228 are back to wrap up 2021 with a bow. They're shrugging off all of the negativity and steering clear of the road blocks from 2021 in order to make 2022 the best year yet.

The past year was full of adventures and new moves on all fronts, so it’s time to reflect on all of the lessons that the girls were forced to learn. The good, the bad, and yes the ugly too (trust us, it got real ugly sometimes). If you weren't there for the ride, you truly missed out. 

This is your time to catch up with your favorite besties because they're taking off their training wheels. They scraped their knees and broke their nails, but no matter how many times they fell, they always got back up, just so that they could chat about their experiences with all of you. So, sit back, grab a glass of wine and listen, laugh, and cry as the girls of Room 3228 dive into Season 3.

Who run the world? GIRLS! Although, women's history month was in March, the girls of Room 3228 believe that women should be celebrated all year long. So they sat down with representatives from Global Girlhood, a global community of women and gender-expansive folks that inspires storytelling and fosters connections, about how they aim to revolutionize representation in media, education, and leadership. 

Guests Radhika Kalani, a product owner at the Blackstone Group and the Director of Outreach for Global Girlhood, and Grace Schleck, a LGBTQIA+ advocate and the Director of Operations for Global Girlhood, talk about their perception of feminism and how to make this movement more inclusive. They discuss the importance of women stepping into their power, while also sharing their aspirations for women in the future. 

The girls of Room 3228 have come to discover that adulting is hard. But talking about it makes it so much easier. Join them as they chat about some of the confusing parts of being an adult. We're talking taxes, budgeting, healthcare, and SEX (gotta keep it spicy). 

This episode is a mess but so is life; sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.

2021 is finally here and the girls of Room 3228 did not come to play! They’re starting the year with an episode full of laughs, roasts, and music recommendations. Get ready because it’s time for a girls and guys tell-all.

It was music to the girls’ ears when they heard that former guest and musician Joshua Castillo, as well as his good friend and music extraordinaire Roshen Varughese, would join the girls to talk about their music-inspired bromance. The episode wouldn’t be complete without the girls asking their guests some burning questions about men, masculinity, and bro codes. Needless to say, this chat ended on a high note!

Grab a glass of wine and your favorite pals because this episode is for all the crazy besties out there. You’ll need to buckle up because the girls of Room 3228 are exploring their views on a modern type of love: platonic relationships. And they’re not holding ANYTHING back.

A lot has changed since the last time the girls sat down and discussed what friendship means to them. This time around, they’re chatting about some rough spots in their friendship with one another, as well as how their romantic relationships compare to their platonic ones.  No stone is left unturned as the girls analyze how and why they make friends, while daring to ask themselves: Am I a good friend?

Pour a little bit of identity crisis into this week’s tea! On this episode, the girls bring IT specialist and artist extraordinaire Abil Abraham all the way from Astoria to talk about his Indian-American heritage. They discuss what components of their identity are the most significant to them and how their identities have changed over time, as well as how they define themselves as New Yorkers and as Americans.

The girls and their hipster guest ask questions that most people are too scared to face in the hopes of discovering their true selves: What does it mean to be stateless? To feel represented in the national narrative? To be both an immigrant and an American? Follow the girls down another rabbit hole and be prepared to ask yourself: who ART thou? This episode is full of Zoom mishaps and tears, but it’s definitely a masterpiece.

This week the Girls of Room 3228 are digging deep. They're putting all their cards on the table, flaws and all. Join them as they discuss their deepest darkest physical and emotional insecurities. 

The girls do some profound thinking in order to trace the origins of their insecurities. They also discuss how society impacted the way that they view themselves and discuss their thoughts on therapy. What starts out as a productive conversation quickly turns into a love fest, with each of the girls sharing the little quirks they love about each other and coming to the understanding that flaws are what make each of them uniquely beautiful.

We've all got flaws; let's talk about them! How do you work past your insecurities and practice self-love? What's your favorite thing about yourself? These are the questions we're ready to discuss with you. So grab a tissue, a friend, or a diary as we serve you a healthy dose of insecuriTEA.
