This episode, we REALLY got into some thangs mama. As we stated in the episode itself, if SA and domestic abuse is too much for you at this time, please don't worry. You can skip ahead and move on to the next episode. In this episode, we discuss the situations between Cassie, Diddy and more, Keke & Darius and Chrisean and James Wright Chanel. Who's Up Next? segment: Elii Ormond (@eliiormond) - Model, Creative Director, Recording Artist What Now? segment: I think that as a community, there are two things that we must hold one another to - accountability and space for change or in other words, recompense. For too long we have silenced victims of sexual assault and domestic violence while never holding the perpetrators accountable for their harmful and vile actions; I guess that's the workings of misogyny & white supremacy for you. Also, it's sad that some of you that are women and femme presenting individuals cape for the same men that have oppressive & violent behaviors. I continue to say that we'll never be free if we all don't stop participating in these misogynistic behaviors. At the end of the day, all you can do is hold yourself and those in your circle accountable for their actions and how they treat you by creating boundaries and sticking to them.  Get in touch with us: whatnowquery@gmail.com Follow our socials: IG, TikTok & YouTube: @twnpodcast The What Now?

Hi everyone, I'm back. I've been dealing with soooooo much on my plate and I am hanging in there. At this point, I'm tired of crying, but I will let the tears fall from my face as long as that pain and sorrow doesn't stay inside my body; have to release it as much as possible. Losing a grandparent is a natural occurrence as we go from children to adults. I'm glad that I was being prepared for the loss as it made it more of a reality that it was going to happen. Now that I have a parent in the hospital right afterwards, it kind of makes my stress level higher. Right now, I am praying for healing (mental and physical), grace, mercy, favor, peace and a full recovery for my parent. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN. If you are dealing with the loss of a loved one or the hospitalization of a loved one, I am here right alongside you and know that I understand and am sending you so much love!

Girl I'm a little tired of the conversation of black queer people not being acknowledged in the room even though we are THE ONES shaking the room in order for most things to change sometimes. I'm starting to work on myself when it comes to feeling anxious in straight black spaces because I always don't feel safe and wanted in that space. As we dive into today's conversation, I acknowledge how I started feeling unwelcome in this space where it was created for black men of ALL backgrounds and sexualities. The Who's Up Next?

As a non-binary, queer individual it is not loss upon me that I typically do not fit the beauty standard that is normalized here in America and pretty much across the globe. Most of the looks that are considered "hot" stems from colonialism and the want to be closer to whiteness. In relation to that it's important to know the barriers that communities face in terms of socioeconomic and political barriers that affect everyday life. The Who's Up Next?

Let's get into what this entire situation stems from and how y'all don't want tor recognize the many different types of ways y'all are violent in you own personal lives. The Who's Up Next Segment: Army (Digital Creator) on IG as @armielchandler The What Now? Segment: 2 things: stop looking for respectability politics to save you from racism because it just won't. It will never work because some of these people just DON'T respect and simply won't based off of the color of your skin. All you can control isss yourself and how your react to situations.

Kim K. really knows how to set off the inter webs and get the girlies riled up honey. The way she really just tried all women during Women's History Month is beyond me, but really are we surprised? Are we? As you can tell that's what today's topic is about. Also this man literally almost hit me today with his car, like my physical being would've been under somebody's car earlier today if I hadn't screamed bloody murder. Let's get into it. The Who's Up Next Segment: Try Deas Nuts (IG: @trydeasnuts); This wonderful, black-owned snack brand can also be found on the web at www.trydeasnuts.com. Try 'em out! Tell them I sent you. The What Now? Segment: Do not let these rich, wealthy people tell you what you need to do with your life and how to reach your success especially if that advice is unsolicited. Half of the time the people telling us what we need to do, really haven't put any hard work into anything. I'm talking about true blood, sweat and tears. Figuring out how your family is going to eat today. Having to rob Peter to pay Paul. Not knowing if they are going to turn your water or electricity off this week. These rich people don't understand that especially if they've come from a family that's already been well to do. Continue to create these multiple streams of income, go back to school or get new certifications, and monetize your brand or your skillset! Do what you have to do and what's. best for you and your family. Follow us on Instagram & YouTube: @twnpodcast; The What Now?

Man oh man, the way this week nearly defeated me! I was in thee trenches miss girl, but I've made it to another Friday (payday) and so have you! I am proud of us sis. Let's make the best of this weekend and release all of this negative energy. Today we are discussing taking responsibility of our actions and being accountable for them. Of course, it's hard to do sometimes and it can be frustrating, awkward and embarrassing to do it. You have to do it at some point though. If not, then why are we even alive without learning these lessons right? Who's Up Next Segment?: We have the black-owned and veteran-owned company, The True Products. This company creates fabulous cleaning products for clothing (toiletries included). I mainly use their clothing detergent which cleans my clothes without leaving any gritty or itchy residue. Some high end detergents have known to do that to me and my skin. These products are the real deal. Follow them on Instagram at @thetrueproducts and online at www.thetrueproducts.com. What Now? Segment: Let's make sure that we all are taking responsibility for our actions and holding others accountable as well. Don't bow to those in "power" (I use that term loosely because who really has power over us???) because their simply a white man in America. Don't allow people to just skip by and continue the same hurtful, harmful actions that continue to leave Black & POC communities impoverished and battling for superiority. It's time out for that. Like that black girl said on Tik Tok, "STAND UP!"... Follow Us: IG: @twnpodcast & @hausofebon Youtube: The What Now?
