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?

We're back mama! If you're going to be down for the cause then you gotta stay 10 toes down all the way. With anything that you do in life, please make sure that you stand for something! Who's Up Next? Segment: Courtney Taylor @thisiscourtneytaylor What Now? Segment: I think that what we all should do is if you follow a creative or any person with a large platform and they haven’t said anything at all about ANYTHING that’s happening in the world right now then I believe that shows you what time they’re on. This includes each one of our favorite artists including Beyonce and y’all know I love her.  Follow us on IG, TikTok & YouTube: @twnpodcast Follow my socials (IG, TikTok & YT): @hausofebon

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? Segment: L.A.W.D. @lawdofficial | Media company bringing ideas into reality. | lawd.online The What Now?

It's sad to say but I don't think they'll ever give Beyonce album of the year. That leads us to not even set the Grammy's as the standard and BE ALL. White people will continue to be praised even when their work doesn't meet our caliber. Oh well, keep being excellent my black people!  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? Segment: Derria (Digital Creator - Fashion & Lifestyle) @dlolo  The What Now? Segment: Be more loving and empathetic. Be more understanding of people's and communities' plights before automatically judging someone's decision for their own personal lives.  Follow our socials:  IG: @twnpodcast YouTube: @twnpodcast Make sure to subscribe to us wherever you get your FAVORITE PODCASTS and leave a 5 STAR REVIEW!!!

Henrietta Lacks was the black woman whose cancer cells were taken from her without her or her family's knowledge or permission and used to create the world's first ever immortalized human cell(s) - HeLa cells. I do believe and correct me if I'm wrong that these cells are used by scientists today to continue the study of cancer and its effects on the human body. DISGUSTING.
