We are Black women!!! We LOVE being Black women. Because Black women are ambitious. Black women are confident. Black women are diligent. We are tenacious! We walk out of our houses “PUT TOGETHER”. We are many shades and personalities of FABULOUS! Black Women Love to Talk!!! But…we, as Black women, aren't often provided the space to talk about our dilemmas, current events, and what affects us. Join us as we talk through everything from current events and memes, to news and our personal lives. We may even throw in a story or two about our friends (with their permission of course.) Although our focus is Black Women, we invite everyone (regardless of gender or ethnicity) to join the conversation. We created this podcast as a way to laugh together…cry together…and have an open conversation about life as a Black woman.
