Bye Ayesha!!!!
The mimosas are flowing, and the opinions are STRONG! This week, Amanda and Xtina dive headfirst into the phenomenon that is Black women's brunch culture. Is it a necessary sisterhood ritual, or an expensive social media performance? We unpack the good, the glamorous, and the unspoken rules of those weekend meetups.
Next, we get real about friendship maintenance and the silent killer: jealousy. We share personal stories and advice on how to keep your friendships healthy when life—or a major 'glow up'—starts to create distance.
Finally, we dissect the latest viral controversy surrounding Ayesha Curry and her comments about marriage and not receiving "male attention." Was she being honest and vulnerable, or was the internet right to call her out? Tune in for a smart, salty, and totally necessary conversation!
