This week’s solo episode is giving spicy culture recap. We talk about this year’s AFL Grand Final — one of the biggest in decades — from Snoop Dogg’s performance to Jessica Mauboy’s powerful moment on stage and just how big this cultural moment felt across Australia. Then we unpack the Kat Clark controversy and why the lack of Black creators in her daughter’s event hits deeper than a “numbers” excuse. And to finish, we’re talking Raye’s new song I Want a Husband, the late-20s search for love, and why wanting a man ≠ settling for less.Also, products mentioned in episode:Too Faced Cloud Crush Blurring Blush GHD Chronos📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bittersweet.podcast/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bittersweetpodcastWintana: https://www.instagram.com/win.tanaa/ Hosted on Acast.
