About this listen

 This multi episode podcast series will focus on engaging conversation as we explore pop culture, literature, film, and current events through the lens of the contemporary African American aunt. For example, some women embrace being an aunt and others consider it an insult. We’ll talk about the good, the better and best part of our lives as aunts and seeing the world through auntie-colored glasses.Shewanda Riley Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary

  • Your Year in Review

    Your Year in Review
    Jan 8 2026

    At this time of the year, many people are putting out their list of the best of list. Many times, when we think of the end of the year and a year in review, we look at things like the best in entertainment, movies, TV shows, songs, or maybe your favorite concert. The more Ive thought about it, Ive thought about how about instead of talking about what other people did, how about we talk about what we did. What if our year in review and the year's best of is our year in review? It's what we did, what we didn't do, and what we started to do but havent yet finished. As the new year begins, I think it's so important for us to think about where we were in 2025 and to think about where we want to go in 2026. This podcast takes you through the steps for your year in review as we begin 2026.
