We talk about what music means to us, how music connects us, discovering our favorite genres of music, and Nigerian music/Afrobeat's influence in our lives.

    (Content Warning: body image, eating habits). Today we drank vanilla milkshakes (spoiler alert: they were very disappointing) while discussing our personal journeys with body positivity. We share how our body image has impacted us, how our relationships with exercise and food have evolved over time, and what body positivity means to us as a whole. Everyone's experiences are different when it comes to this topic so we can only speak for ourselves, but we had fun discussing how we view our bodies. We hope you have fun listening!

    Join us with today's tasting of Dalgona coffee, better known as TikTok coffee. What started out as a "get to know us" episode quickly turned into a 30 minutes discussion about our mixed accents and how they are a part of our identities. To all our international listeners out there or those who code-switch in different environments: we feel you and hope you relate :)

    Our drink of choice for episode three was a DIY chai made with cardamom, cinnamon or both. We discussed our thoughts on an article published in The New Yorker by Brooke Jarvis, "Rethinking the Science of Skin," spilled the tea about our personal struggles with skincare, and shared some lessons from our individual journeys. If there's anything to take away from today's episode, it's that SPF is non-negotiable!

    Chatting with Diversify Our Narrative

    Today on Tea Time we skipped the tea to chat with our first guests! Diversify Our Narrative is a student-led initiative based in the US urging for the diversification of literature in English classrooms across all grade levels. They are petitioning school boards to include more works by BIPOC authors about BIPOC experiences to promote anti-racism in education. We got the opportunity to talk with a few of their representatives and learnt so much from them, we hope you can too!
