Straight Tea No Chaser Podcast
Welcome to the Straight Tea No Chaser Podcast - a space for contemporary conversations about health and wellness, professional life, social justice, and overall millenial-hood.

Expect our episodes to leave you feeling energized about today's most important issues and confident in your abilities to make your professional/romantic/wellness dreams a reality. Our goal of every episode is to bring awareness and perspective to the subjects that matter most, while amplifying Black female voices.This usual table-for-two is inviting you to pull up a chair (and a cup) to join our conversations on everything from environmental justice and health inequities to what Rege-Jean Page had for dinner last night.
