Love is love...right? For this episode of the podcast, via Simone facilitated healthy dialogue with three different folks with three very different perspectives on interracial dating and relationships. Bridget is currently in an interracial relationship with a white man. Catherine is a product of an interracial relationship and has her own personal thoughts on dating outside of your race. Johnny is completely against interracial relationships for a specific reason. Listen to the episode in full to hear potentially changed mindsets. Where do you land on this topic and how do you feel about it?

For this quick & dirty solo episode, via Simone touches on a few key points that will have a direct affect on our communities: this upcoming election and the rise of Clubhouse. Both matters have the ability to change the entire landscape of our current black, creative, and prosperous lives as we know it. Let's get into it. Go vote. Wear a mask. Take a break. All black lives matter.

Bonnets & Durags Podcast returns after a mini hiatus. This time around, Simone gathered her fellow podcasting friends Ti, Lashawn, and John together for a real ass conversation about commitment, compromise, and consistency in relationships and beyond. Each guest dives into what dating with intent means, what a good man/woman is, what love looks like for them currently and how they hope to grow with it moving forward.

The host via Simone conducted another Bonnets & Durags Podcast fan-favorite: a solo episode. This episode is full of life updates + life hacks, while she answers audience questions about Q4 plans, settling down in a new country, and her thoughts on body shaming. While via Simone takes a social media break, the Bonnets & Durags Podcast will return in October 2020.

Buckle up. "Six Flags" is where Simone and her friends Kennedy & Prince uncover all of the possible red + green flags in friendships, relationships, and business. Red flags are pretty self explanatory -- the unsettling feelings that you ignored in the beginning. Green flags are positive actions that reinforce the value in your partnership. From trauma bonds to being equally yoked to negotiating your worth, the group did so much unpacking in each area.

"Mango Habanero" is a random conversation-starter game that Simone made up to challenge some of her most "closeted" guy friends to open up, dive deep, get spicy, and unpack emotions -- all in the name of being raw, real, and intimate. The rules of the game are simple. Simone picks a "sweet" / thought provoking card OR Simone picks a "spicy" / XXX-rated card and each guest has to answer it truthfully. On this week's episode, her two friends Don & Roach didn't back down from the challenge.
