Is there a difference between "rizz" and "charisma?" Why might the concept of "rizz" be slightly problematic?

2023-06-0530 minLet's Talk About Gen ZLet's Talk About Red FlagsWhen I say "red flag," what comes to mind? The Canadian flag? No. A mama's boy? Maybe... In today's episode, we investigate warning signs that Gen Zers are hyperaware of when meeting new people, especially potential romantic partners. Hilariously specific, the list of red flags is getting longer by the day. What does this mean for our generation? Sometimes the things that make us laugh the most are the things that bite us in the butt (yes, I'm coining this saying now).

2023-03-1422 minLet's Talk About Gen ZLet's Talk About DesensitizationDesensitization? Try saying that 10 times fast. In today's episode, we shed light on a sad truth: National traumas (e.g., school shootings, bombings, racial injustice, etc.) have become more normalized for Gen Zers than for any other generation, so much so that our physical and emotional responses to them are fading. How can we regain feelings of sadness and fear for these horrifying incidents? Should we regain them? Or should we maintain the numbing streak?

In today's episode, we welcome fellow NYU student, Haley Ogbemudia to the fam to uncover why Gen Zers have seemingly worse etiquette than our older counterparts. And of course, why we shouldn't judge them for it.

In this mini episode, I introduce the complexities of this loaded question as it will guide the future of Let's Talk About Gen Z.
