Laptops and Drinks

Laptops and Drinks was inspired by a group of professional black women coming together, wanting to share some of the honest conversations about life’s dilemmas and experiences. Growing up we recognised that there were so many areas not discussed by our parents. Together we have shared our learning and impact on us in adulthood from these taboo subjects, secrecy or just not knowing. There is such power in overcoming situations however sometimes we are scared to share. Where does this come from? Is it personal, cultural? This and a lot more will be covered.

Each week we will have a guest to sit and talk with about life’s dilemmas along with lots of other fun/interesting topics and takeaways.

EP2: Exes, Politics and Barbies

July 21, 2024 • Episode 2

Welcome to today's episode of "Exes, Politics and Barbie" where we serve up a hearty mix of humour, hot topics, and a dash of nostalgia.

First up, we're diving into the current climate issues that have everyone buzzing. Taking a trip down memory lane. Remember your first Barbie doll? Did you own a black Barbie? We’ll chat about the quest for diversity in toy aisles—was finding that black Barbie like hunting for a unicorn, or did you find one easily?

And of course, it’s election season! Who did you vote for? Assuming you voted, of course. We’ll have some honest conversations and remain friends afterwards. Does anyone read those endless candidate pamphlets they put through the door!

All this and so much more awaits you in today’s episode. So, sit back, relax, and have a drink.
