Brown Eyes And Caramel Thighs

Plain and simple, we need to empower our people, our families, our friends, to fight oppression and injustice. But to do that we have to have some difficult conversations.

Join us on this talk about stigmas, tik tok, body image and just trying to deal.

What are we but 2 women talking about how we're in our feels...again. Sometimes they're messy, they're necessary, and we're here for the beautiful metamorphosis that is a break up and holding your hand as your best gal friends to come out on the other side. Or give you a box of tissues and fix your mascara. Whatever your need love, whatever you need.

We're talking about those bad habits, those habits we know we should do something about, you know the one (or multiple ones). Eva and I talk about our own bad habits and what we did to change them. Maybe you'll walk away with some tips. Or less shame that you have the same bad habits too.

Is it uppity to want to date someone with a college degree? Is that our ego talking to us? Join Eva and Karina on their thoughts

Nobody planned for this. Especially not your career. But our very own Eva is a pro at networking and has some advice on how to build your network online. These tips are great any time but especially now that online connection is the only kind of connection we're allowed to do!

Finances, it's a big part of our brain space sometimes, because for so many of us we have to learn the ropes of how to manage some big decisions all on our own. We invited Elena from Elena Out Loud to talk to us about becoming independent, and making those big money moves like purchasing a home! Elena hosts Elena Out Loud but also works as a realtor and has such a moving story. We can't wait to share her wisdom with you all!

Have you ever wondered the impact you could have on a younger you? In this episode you'll hear about what we wish we knew as a young brown girl. You'll also get to hear from us and our guest Yanira on the shenanigans that make us who we are.

This week is all about what it's like dating in our late 20's. Do you stop following someone on social media after you've stopped dating? When do you define what the relationship is? Why is now the best time to be single? Why is there so much pressure for women in their late 20's? So many questions and Eva and Karina do their best to answer those questions for themselves.
