There’s nothing like sitting around with your girls and having a deep, genuine, and soul-fed conversation about everything in life. Add wine, a charcuterie board, food, and good vibes and you have a girl’s night in. As Black women, we feel safe in each other’s presence and not to mention, we are relatable on so many levels. We are all we got. In those times you can’t physically catch up with your girls, you can always listen to podcasts from wherever you are.
From therapy to career to mental health and wellness, there’s a podcast for everything. Podcasts for Black women are essential to our well-being and how we show up in the world. You hear from women who are strangers with experiences that can help heal, feed, educate, and affirm you. It’s needed.
