    To our TwinPodcast family, we just wanna say we've missed you guys soo much, and we hope you've enjoyed your Christmases and New Years! To kick off our return from our break, we thought it was only right to talk about an app that kept us entertained during it, and that was none other than Clubhouse. However, as entertaining as the app is, it can also be seen as problematic when certain narratives/agendas are pushed on it. Especially those about black women. We address a couple of questions, including: If she was 'acceptable' enough for you to sleep with her, why isn't she 'acceptable' enough for you to make sure she got home safe? Do mandem only protect girls when there's an agenda behind it? Why do mandem take offence to being corrected on their behaviour, rather than addressing why the behaviour needs to be corrected in the first place? Join Denz, Lex and our special guest Andu, from The PG Podcast (ThePostGradPodcast), as we debate about what protecting black women really means, and to what extent do mandem actually do this.Denzel's Top Picks: SZA - Good Days, Ari Pensmith & Jonah Christian - City Girl, Durand Bernarr.Lexus's Top Picks: Jazmine Sullivan - On It ft Ari Lennox, Tems - Damages, Stonbwoy - Activate ft Davido.Andu's Top Picks: Curtis J - Check Your Balance ft Tomie Boy, Young T & Bugsey - New Shape, Midas the Jagaban - Cloud 9.Andu's Info: Twitter: @NovembasVeriOwnInstagram: @_p.andu @thepgpodcast_ @aplens__Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
