E178 Buying Black With Intention (Rebroadcast)
May 12, 2026 Season 18 Episode 6
Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu

A random Brooklyn day turns into a full-on love letter to Black-owned brands we trust and repurchase, plus a hard look at how we talk ourselves out of supporting Black-made luxury.

Our faves for self-care and home: Oia Wellness for beautiful home fragrance, BklynBarSoap for oils and body care, Harlem Candle Company for candles that connect scent to Black history, plus Tilted Crown Products body butters, Komari Bath and Body, and Epilogic Skincare

recommended by a dermatologist. We close with style staples that make great gifts and confidence upgrades, including Talley & Twine watches and Harlem's Heaven Hats, along with how you can join our Patreon to help shape what we cover next.
