We talk about cancel culture and how social media has made us all so desensitized that we are mad about people's happiness. We also talk about our life motto that has been with us since we were little that really has helped us not follow the crowd.

We're back.. but are we really hmmmm In this episode we talk about tiktok debates and video topics we've seen on our fyps the past few days and what our opinions are on them.

We recommend reading the short self-help book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide To the Fulfillment of Your Dreams by Deepak Chopra as Ashley talks about it and pulls direct quotes from the book often. Manifestation and spirituality has been a popular topic the past 2 years all over social media and we discuss how we have applied it to our lives as well as the hypocrisy we notice with it.

In this episode we talk about making friends at work, how many jobs we've have and how we handle awkward conversations and trying to make ourselves known in the workplace.

We talk about AAVE (African-American Vernacular English), the struggle of growing up in a society where black american's are put down and not given credit for the things they created. We also talk about the difference between being Black and being African American. This one is good so enjoy and learn.

We had a hard time actually pinpointing who our comfort characters are. We feel like everyone has their own definition of a comfort character and we can't even agree of what a comfort character means to us. In a way, we truly think a comfort character is someone who you can relate to on a deep level or someone who you want to be. Do you have a comfort character or show?

Being an introvert can be hard in a world filled with social media and excitement everywhere you go but it also has its perks. We both consider ourselves introverts and we talk about our struggles growing up as introverts, having extroverted friends, and forcing ourselves to hang out with people long after our social battery runs out. Ashley also rants about how she doesn't like how social media and technology has made everyone feel like they are owed the time and responses from others.

Fast fashion, feeling comfortable and confident in your clothes and finally being able to afford the clothes you like are topics we discuss in this episode. Also Andrea rants about why she hates getting her picture taken in public.

Journaling can be a way to express your art or let off steam. We use it for both. In this episode we talk about the benefits of journaling and what we've been using our journals for for the past year and why you should go buy one now!

TW// Abuse. In this episode we talk about abuse that characters in various TV shows have gone through. SPOILER ALERT We talk about the TV shows Blackish, SVU, The Good Place, Manifest, Scandal and Dead To Me so if you haven't seen these shows mayhaps skip this episode if you don't wan to know about them without watching first. We also rant about the evolution of black family shows and hear why we think Tyler Perry needs to be stopped. 

This episode was very late for valid reasons... we are lazy and could not think of a topic. BUT in this one, we talk about the evolution of our social media pages from stan twitter and stan intstagram to our personal pages and how our aesthetic has changed since our first posts.
