Listen in as we discuss our hair journeys, horror stories, the natural hair movement, and our current perceptions of Black hair. Why does Joyce say that hair can be political, and why is Adefela concerned about texturism and excessive protective styling? Of course, we'll cover all this and more in the episode. Relax and enjoy as we talk about all things hair!

We're back with another minisode! We always have so much to say and they're getting longer lol. Today we're talking about our stance on love languages, personality tests and horoscopes - do we identify with them? We're figuring out how safe it is for Christians to read into beliefs that contrast with ours as God tells us who we are, and the situations where reading into these things could be most helpful. Enjoy this one and have a wonderful weekend!

Verses referenced in minisode: 

'Star signs/pagan practises' - Deuteronomy 18:10-14,

'All things to all men' - 1 Corinthians 9:19-23.

Reading around these scriptures gives context to them, and enables your deeper understanding of them!

Hello! After a slight delay we are back with a discussion about our relationships with testimonies, overcoming insecurities, building self-confidence, and self-help. Whew! Today's episode is loaded and longer than usual - we hope you're touched by our conversation and compelled to move past insecurities and negative self-perceptions that have been holding you back. We'll be returning to the studio soon - in the meantime, enjoy today's episode!

We're back with another minisode! Today we're opening up about where we are in our faith journeys, what we wish to improve on, and the things we miss about unrestricted fellowship. We're also discussing what it means when you feel far from God, and the danger of saying "I'm just not there yet" with many things in our faith. Enjoy this short one!

Wishing you a Happy New Year - may this one be full of joy and growth! Today we're talking about our relationship with time and nostalgia, and how this links to the value of living authentically. We're also sharing our love for Small Axe, what it teaches us about the history of the Black British identity, and how we maintain a balance between our ethnicity and nationality with this all in mind. (This was recorded before London was moved into tier 4). Enjoy, and here's to 2021!

Merry Christmas to you and yours! Join our talk about Christmas past, present and future, as Adefela reveals herself as the Grinch while Joyce loves all things Christmas! We're also discussing our efforts to figure out what a Christian should actually look like, and straying from the faith despite one's upbringing. Also, what's with people condemning others while a log remains in their own eye? Have a wonderful Christmas day!

Today we're getting into our transition into adulthood. What did we think being an adult meant when we were younger, and how do we know when we're in the thick of it? We're also discussing money and independence - why is it that we're so focused on depending on no one but ourselves, and does this indicate deeper issues that should be fixed through therapy?

We are back! Let's talk about friendship - how easy we find it to make friends, setting boundaries within friendships, our school memories,  and the wonderful topic of insecurities. Enjoy!
