Celebrating the Black contribution, starting a business in the pandemic, police reform in Nigeria & an unusual proposal.
The ladies discuss whether Black History Month still serves an educational purpose or if it has become a tool used by brands and media outlets to demonstrate their commitment to “diversity”, whether an economic downturn is a good time to start a new business and what types of product could be future-proof, the #EndSars protests and the systemic changes needed to put a permanent end to police corruption and brutality in Nigeria, and whether they would let a friend propose to their partner during their own wedding. Guest starring Lois and Michela Aymes, co-founders of Saint Aymes luxury confectionery.
