This week on CareFreeBlackGirl, we celebrate creator, showrunner, and executive producer Felicia Pride and her work bringing A Different World back to the screen. We unpack the girls of Hillman and the complicated realities of growing up, sexuality, religion, relationships, and self-discovery, before connecting those themes to current conversations around consent, sexual assault, campus culture, and why women, especially Black women, are so often expected to be “perfect” before they’re believed or protected. Plus, we get into the men of A Different World in This or That and close with a Get Free conversation about the internet’s obsession with Black women’s appearances, aging, and the recent commentary surrounding Jasmine Guy.

We're back with another episode of the CareFreeBlackGirl Podcast, and this week we're talking relationships, cheating, and everything in between! After watching Why Did I Get Married Again?, we're giving Tyler Perry his flowers because, honestly, this might be some of his best work. But the movie also got us thinking about some real-life relationship questions. Is cheating an automatic dealbreaker? What if you find out about the cheating but still decide to get married? And let's talk about it... could you accept a break baby? We're also getting into whether movies need to have realistic storylines and the conversations surrounding women debuting new relationships before their previous relationships have officially ended. 👀 IN THIS EPISODE: Relationship Talk Is cheating a dealbreaker, or can a relationship survive infidelity? What if you knew about the cheating before getting married? Could you accept a break baby? Do movies need realistic storylines, or can we just enjoy the drama What's your take on debuting a new relationship before ending the previous one? Who Said Dat / Who Did Dat?
We're testing our knowledge of reality TV, relationships, and those unforgettable moments in Black pop culture. CareFree Keys
 The girls are sharing personal lessons on starting something new and knowing when it's time to walk away from things that no longer align with who you are or where you're headed.
