“You’re bougie.” Have you ever been on the receiving end of this statement?
Or perhaps you’ve made this statement to your friend.
I’ve been called the “bougie” friend for as long as I could remember.... And I didn’t like it. It sounded like a backhanded compliment.
Then I learnt what it meant. And I began to own it. Yeah, I’m the “bougie friend”. I got it from my momma. Her friends used to accuse her of “trying to sound white” just because she spoke standard English, which of course she was a stickler with me.
Speaking of my momma, this week we celebrate our first mother-daughter episode on the Crowned Opulence Podcast. I’m joined by my Mommy, Janette Carter, and my fellow podcaster-friend Joi Disroe and her adult daughter, Turquoise.
We’re redefining “bougie” and wearing the label with all our “bougie” attitude.
We talk about:
This week’s Mimosa Special
Strawberry Lemonade Mimosa
Mix yourself a mimosa, tell a fellow “bougie” friend and tune in to the Crowned Opulence Podcast on your favorite podcast app.
