Long Live Relationships

The key to long lasting relationships is consistently dating and having fun with one another. Being yourself around friends is just as important as being yourself around your significant other. Honestly, that can sometimes be a struggle especially if you have totally opposite personalities. As relationships grow and mature, it’s important to maintain high levels of activity, no matter the activity in your relationships so that they can remain healthy. So, in essence, who do you have the most fun with? Your friends, your partner, or by yourself? Things get interesting as we discuss our points of view. Tune in & let us know what you think!

We’re tired of the injustices, the inequalities, and racial epitaphs that we still face on a daily basis. This week’s episode focuses on our experiences as black men and women and some of the truths we live. While racism has been present in our communities for hundreds of years, we thought the racism was suppressed. The recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor & Ahmaud Arbery has fueled a greater desire for change and equality.

Join us as we discuss questions that we feel should be asked during these experiments.
