On this week's episode, J.Mix is joined by Destani Simone and Thérèse Green to unpack their thoughts on being unhitched and child-free black women! They discuss the pressures imposed on society and their peers to get married and have children and confront why they have not reached the next milestone. J.Mix expounds on her annoyances with "sheeple" who are only getting married and having kids to fulfill a conditioned expectation. Destani toys between wanting to get married out of love and/or out of financial stability. And Thérèse has a message for parents who claim to know everything about their children.
Other things discussed:
Why do folks cry at weddings, Societal pressures of getting married while black, Origins of marriage vs. Marriage in 2020, J.Mix's unresolved annoyance with Engagement/Wedding/Pregnacy/Birth announcements, Overpopulation, Parents who desire freedom from childrearing responsibilities, and so much more!
