In this episode we discuss the 'F' word - feminism.
This episode dispels many myths about feminism and gives our approach to what it means and how it applies to day to day life.
Does feminism seek 50/50 and is that the same as equality? If women want to be equal then does it mean we should contribute 50/50 to dates and bills? Should we be asking men out on dates too?

The group discusses their coming of age into adulthood and the various pressures that arise. They discuss the balancing of societal expectations , their own personal views and goals , and how they choose to respond to 'the pressure'.
The gender perspective arises in the discussion, can women really have it all? A thriving career and family life? Do men have it worse in terms of pressure?

In this episode we discuss the rules of Girl Code and whether it even exists in Zimbabwe. Are girls down for other girls or are we in constant competition with each other?
Is girl code important at all and who decides on the rules. Let's not forget that Boy Code is also suffering in this teapot country. So what do we do? How do we do better?
TWO dilemmas this week!!! What advise would you give? The girls need your help.
Have you ever thought that maybe your mother is toxic? Have you ever felt like whatever you do is not good enough? Does she come down on you about everything - looks, dressing, personality, weight etc?
In this episode we talk about surviving toxic relationships with our mothers.
Share your experiences with us and let's talk about it.
Are we intellectually doomed to the extent that we cannot critically engage in topics anymore, read for ourselves and form our own opinions, relying on social media and other people to tell us what to think?
In this episode we discuss whether we are still a people that read books, listen to informative material like podcasts and watch youtube videos on things with substance or are we now addicted to "trash tv", scandals etc?
Do we still have the capability to critically engage with information objectively, keep an open mind and form your own opinion that will be respected even if it goes against the loudest and contrary voice.
Who creates the narrative of what is right or wrong? And what makes that the common opinion?
In this episode we discuss the controversies surrounding the Doek & Slay festivals and the discourse around why it is inconceivable that women can come together at an event and have a good time without it turning into something negative.
We also discuss the classism issue around the "type of woman" who attends this event and classism in general in Harare especially in the music space and boiling down to classism even in our own families. What is that about???
We give our advice on how to cut off toxic friends when you have mutual friends in this week's dilamma.
In this episode we talk about the importance of maintaining your standards whilst dating and the difference between standards and arbitrary rules.
Studies have shown that the use of social media is linked to higher levels depression, anxiety or worse.
It is clear that social media is so interwoven into our daily lives but to what extent does it control you and is it a beast that has gotten out of hand.
In this episode we discuss social media and whether it requires more policing by the state or whether you can self regulate. What about parents? What is their role?
This week, we host the STUNNING Miss Universe Zimbabwe 1st Runner Up Lisa Sibanda as she walks us through her journey from being a practicing legal practitioner to pursuing her dreams as a model and becoming Miss Universe 1st Runner Up on her 1st attempt.
"You do not need anyone else's approval or validation to chase your dreams. People will follow your lead. if you think it, and if you want it, you can do it."
Lisa also discusses her Foundation- Face the Lion Foundation and what she hopes to achieve with the platform that she has been given.
We also have a difficult dilemma. Balancing the relationship between African Mothers and young adults. Is the solution to move out or not to move out.

Purity culture and body policing has literally taken the lives of so many young women, with many being shamed for not being virgins.
This week we discuss purity culture and body policing and try to answer the following questions... Does being a virgin make you more valuable as a woman? Why is purity culture targeted at women and not men? Do the Aunties have a point? What about those who have been sexually assaulted?
We discuss this and more. Join us in the conversation.
