Black folks often have an intimate yet complicated relationship with our hair.
From sitting through burning relaxers trying to get bone straight hair, to learning to rock a TWA because you just couldn’t wait any longer to go natural, to slathering on castor oil and praying your hair edges come back -- we have endless experiences with our hair.

Saneeta shares a story of dating a dude who took advantage of her kindness (and her wallet…) a...

On this week’s episode, I talk with Yewande — a 34-year-old who has never had a serious, committed relationship.
