I LOVE listening to your podcast. You keep me up on Black news. Even though we disagree on Jay Z & you didn’t know Eddie Vedder is the lead singer of Pearl Jam, I still tune in and cheer you. Thank you for shining a light on the welfare and well being of Black women!! I hope you send yourself flowers for the 600th episode and a bottle of damn good champagne!!! Keep keeping on sis!

I tune in. I like what you cover. It’s a good escape from a lot of serious news.
