GUESTS MARVYN HARRISON & AUDREY AKANDE - Street Life, Black Families & Why Black Women Deserve Better

Why are young Black boys still drawn to street life? And how do family values, generational wealth, and beauty standards play into it? 👀 In this episode, the Aunties and Marvyn Harrison unpack the realities of Black life in Britain — and why Black women deserve more.

Then we do some dilemmas with our fave cousin Audrey Akande from the receipts podcast

  • The importance of building generational wealth & family values
  • Masculinity, vulnerability & what Black men need to hear
  • Weaves, wigs & beauty standards — why Black women deserve better
