This is a quick update about the show & new name. You are still in the RIGHT place but we do have a slight rebranding of the show & I didn't want to leave you hanging without explaining;)

I felt it was better suited for the commentary and content created, especially since my friend and former co host is no longer a part of the platform. 

I loved creating content centered around the experiences of Black women & through the lens of Black women. But I find myself being excited about current events/pop culture, relationships & political issues. 

The focus always has been and will remain about sharing views and opinions UNCENSORED. 

Many of you have been here for awhile and I didn’t want to change without explaining. So if you choose to move on, no Love lost.😊💜

You can email or leave voicemails to join the conversation or to just say hey or suggest discussion topics. -Monique
