Happy Black History Month! In the third and final episode of this BHM series, Tharaly and Karla discuss examples of Black Resistance, from the art produced during the Harlem Renaissance to the resistance of hegemonic Euro-centric beauty standards by embracing hairstyles that nurture the Black identity. We conclude our BHM series with Black History Trivia, testing the knowledge of special guests: Jasmine Kennedy, Kade Walton and Tony Franco. Happy Black History Month!

Happy Black History Month! In the second episode of this BHM series, Tharaly and Karla talk about something that they are incredibly knowledgable about: Black Twitter. Despite the fact that Twitter is a platform that was created in a dominant culture that actively works to exclude Black people from producing digital media objects, Back Americans have revolutionized Twitter's digital platform and reappropriated Twitter into a digital homespace. Black Twitter is a sacred space for discourse among Black Americans where they are free to make social, political, and cultural commentary that otherwise wouldn't be received in the "real world."  We hope you enjoy as we talk you through exactly how and why Black Twitter has become a cultural phenomenon. 

Happy Black History Month! This year we are so excited to kick off the theme of Black Resistance by catching up on current events. We start off this episode by paying tribute to Tyre Nichols and the legacy of joy he left behind. We also discuss the Grammys’ Album of the Year controversy while also celebrating the many incredible Black artists that were honored for their talents. We also talked about the groundbreaking history being made by Black athletes, including this Sunday’s Super Bowl game and HBCU sports. Lastly, we discuss the College Board's exclusive AP curriculum in addition to the books being banned in American public schools. Altogether, we made it a point to highlight Black Excellence, in all its forms!

Happy first Sunday of Season 2!!!!! Catch up with us as we give updates on our lives and the future of the podcast! Get ready to watch us tackle adulthood and ELEVATE!

On our last episode at St. George’s along with three of our closest friends, we each wrote a letter to John Diman, the founder of SG. Each of our letters is unique to our experience and bears our final message to the institution that has taken up so much of our lives throughout these last four years. To the St. George’s community, thank you for supporting this podcast, we wouldn’t have grown without you. And to our friends, Yasmin, Jane, Grace, and all those who we haven't named, the love you've shown us will always stay with us!

Happy Sunday y’all! This Sunday we had an exceptional guest, Grace Ellison, a dear friend and UK resident on the podcast to take a break from discussing the U.S. We talked about the blatant racism that Meghan Markel endured from many facets of society including the royal family and the media. We even dissected the dichotomous media interpretations of the events between US and UK residents. We ended this episode with some current events and discussed our thoughts on the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade and what that may look like. As always, we implore you to look further into the topics we've discussed and to stay educated.

Happy Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. In the first part of this episode, we acknowledged the significance of the AAPI community and why it is important to celebrate this month. In the second half, we honor May 1st which is National Decision Day—when first-year applicants make college decisions—by talking about our college processes. We went through the ups and downs and gave a lot of advice about what not to do. As always everyone’s college process is different and we hope you listen with the intent to hear someone else experiences. Happy National Decision Day to all Seniors!

In this very special episode, we had the opportunity to interview two special guests, musicians Miriam Elhajli and DJ Scaife who are singers and songwriters of folk, pop, and gospel music. They retold their individual journeys to arrive at this point in their music careers, and the impact it has had on their lives. We hope that through their experiences and wisdom you find a new appreciation for music and the powerful impact it can have in your lives.

Happy Women's History Month! In this episode, we talked about the origins of Women's History Month, Equal Pay Day, and some of the women in our lives who inspire us. We also delve into the historic Supreme Court nomination and confirmation hearing of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. We explain the process and highlighted what we deemed as some of the most notable moments. As always, we hope you listen with the intent to learn something new and do your own research beyond what we have discussed.

To end our Black History Month series, we brought on a special guest, Toni Woods Maignan, who is an alumni and friend. She spoke to us about her experience at St.George’s and what drove her and others to create SG's Black Alumni Council. Not only has she made an impact on the school community, but she is also making strides in traditionally white male-dominated workspaces. As always, we hope that you listen to learn something, and we thank you all for tuning into our BHM series. Remember to celebrate Black history every day of the year. Happy Black History Month!
