  • I Am Not My Hair... Or Am I?
    Mar 18 2026

    Welcome to the Hey Sister Podcast! In this episode, we’re getting real about hair... our journeys, our insecurities, our pride and the politics that shouldn’t exist but still do. We unpack the Crown Act and what it actually means in real life.

    We're talking confidence, identity and the unspoken pressure to make our hair “acceptable,” while also breaking down recent real-world cases that show why this conversation matters now more than ever.

    This episode is honest and deeply personal, because our hair has always been more than just hair. Pull up, sisters. 💛

  • Let's Talk About Hanifa
    Mar 11 2026

    Hey Sister! ✨ This week, we’re talking about the recent controversy surrounding Hanifa and its founder Anifa Mvuemba. Hanifa has long been celebrated for bold silhouettes, inclusive sizing and its viral 3D digital runway show that changed how fashion could exist online. But after a major sale last year led to widespread shipping delays and communication issues, the brand faced significant online backlash, prompting Anifa to apologize and announce a pause in production while the company restructures operations.

    In this episode, we unpack the situation from all sides: how people were first introduced to Hanifa, the expectations customers have for luxury brands and whether the online criticism felt fair.

    Beyond the controversy, we celebrate some of our favorite women-owned businesses across fashion, beauty, food, and more.. because supporting women entrepreneurs is still at the heart of the conversation.

    As always, pull up a seat. 💛✨

  • Thank God I'm a Woman
    Mar 4 2026

    Hey Sister 💐✨

    March is Women’s History Month and coming right off the heels of Black History Month, there’s truly no better time to be a Black woman!

    In this week's episode, we're honoring the trailblazers who paved the way and the women still breaking barriers today. But beyond the history books, we’re talking about what it actually feels like to be a woman right now. Powerful. Limitless. Exhausting. Soft. Misunderstood. All of it.

    We reflect on our favorite and least favorite parts of womanhood, the double standards women navigate across work, relationships, and culture and whether accountability really hits the same depending on who you are.

    This episode reminds us that being a woman is not one thing. It’s everything.

    As always, pull up a seat. 💛✨

  • Tyra Banks Needs a Reality Check
    Feb 25 2026

    Hey Sister 📸✨ This week, we’re revisiting America's Next Top Model and unpacking the new Netflix documentary Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model.

    Did we really understand what we were watching back then? Were Tyra’s intentions actually good? And how do we reconcile “that was just the times” with the very real harm some contestants say they experienced?

    We talk about Tyra’s accountability (or lack of it), other reality TV moments that haven’t aged well and whether we’d survive the ANTM version of our own career paths.

    As always, pull up a seat and if you watched the doc, let us know what you thought. 💛✨

    Hey sister! This week, we’re talking about love, relationships and decentering men. Inspired by Chanté Joseph’s recent Vogue piece, we unpack the question: When did having a boyfriend start feeling… embarrassing?From soft launches and blurred-face posts to the pressure (or lack of pressure) to couple up, we explore how the cultural script around relationships is shifting. We talk about what “decentering men” actually means in real life, how our views on marriage and partnership have evolved and why prioritizing your own growth, friendships, and identity is crucial to all women whether you’re single or boo’d up.) We also get honest about relationship non-negotiables, how to avoid losing yourself in love and how to genuinely enjoy the in-between season if you’re single but still desire partnership one day.Whether you’re happily single, in love or somewhere in between, this episode is about remembering who you are before, during and after any relationship.As always, pull up a seat. 💛✨

  • Country Music but Make It Black!
    Jan 28 2026

    Hey Sister!

    This week, we’re diving into Cowboy Carter! Not just as an album, but as a cultural moment that forced the music industry (and all of us) to confront some uncomfortable truths.

    In this episode, we're breaking down Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, the often-erased history of Black contributions to country music and why the true origins of country music aren’t shared as loudly as they should be.
