In Progress PodcastSafe and Social : A Discussion About Online SafetyIn this episode, hosts Christine and Emily discuss online safety.
As adults, we don’t often discuss how to stay safe while interacting with others online, but we know that online predators exist too. Unfortunately, there are people whose sole goal is to stalk unknowing victims online, then inflict violence in person. Hackers also utilize public information to target and attack strangers. Nowadays, people can have access to our personal information with a super simple Google search—- which is actually quite scary. Some people even post their every move and travel plan on their social media accounts in real time...2021-08-241h 07In Progress PodcastProfession, Passion, and PurposeThe focus of today’s episode is on profession, passion, and purpose.

As two women that were the only female children in our respective homes, over the years, we’ve both relied heavily on our girlfriends and the sisterly bonds they have brought to our lives. Friendships are crucial to growth, happiness, understanding of self, personality, and so much more.
We are super grateful to the sisters in our lives and we hope you have women in your lives that you regard as closely as sisters too!

Why are Black people constantly having to...2021-03-151h 10In Progress Podcast“Is it 2021 or 2020 Season 2? : From an Insurrection to the Fufu Challenge”Welcome to Season 2 of the In Progress Podcast!

What we know is this—- Nigeria will never be the same. People are upset and fed up with their living conditions. They deserve change and most importantly, they’re demanding change.

However, as many of you well know, despite the beauty and the abundance, police brutality and harsh conditions have also plagued Nigeria for many, many years. Recently, these issues came to a head with the #EndSars movement. SARS, or the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, was created in Nigeria in 1992 and tasked with handling armed robberies, kidnappings, and other similar violent crimes. Rather than reducing crimes, instead, SARS officers themselves have inflicted the same crimes on Nigerian citizens as they...2020-11-261h 07In Progress PodcastSeason 1 Episode 5: "Protect Black Women"Season 1, Episode 5: PROTECT BLACK WOMEN. In 1962, Malcolm X said, “The most disrespected person in America is the Black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the Black woman. The most neglected person in America is the Black woman.” Unfortunately, this still rings true today. In light of the recent developments in the Breonna Taylor case and the popularization of the phrase "protect Black women," we wanted to dissect its true implications. This episode is the start of a larger conversation and we hope you, our Community, continue to discuss issues, unlearn behaviors, and perpetuate the safety of Black women in eve...2020-10-091h 09In Progress PodcastSeason 1 Episode 4: “ (some) Men Are Trash: The Do’s and Don’ts of Dating.”Season 1 Episode 4: In this episode, we discuss dating and relationships. Dating today is ...... a lot. Obviously, relationships take work, but what amount of work constitutes too much? Not enough? Have you ever thought about your boundaries, your needs, and your wants within the context of dating? If you haven’t yet, we urge you to. There’s no point to be in any kind of relationship (platonic, romantic, even professional) that doesn’t serve you.
