    84. Alternative Relationships: Exploring Ethical Non-Monogamy
    Jun 10 2025

    This week, Sonia and Roberta welcome Deb Dennis, an attorney and moderator the DMV chapter of Black and Poly. That’s right—we’re diving into the world of polyamory, also known as ethical non-monogamy. From the misconceptions (spoiler: it’s not all about sex!) to the relationship dynamics and emotional maturity it requires, we’re unpacking it all. Deb shares her personal journey, how she navigates her relationships, and the supportive community she found while educating herself about this lifestyle. It’s a grown conversation that just might expand how you think about love, connection, and commitment.

    83. Spirituality: Unpacking Tradition and Finding Your Truth Part 2
    May 27 2025

    In part two of this conversation, we dive deeper into spirituality, ancestors, and the personal beliefs that shape our journeys. We’re unpacking what it truly means to connect with our ancestors and exploring how these personal experiences redefine faith. We also chat openly about questioning long-held beliefs, pushing beyond the boundaries of organized religion, and why embracing our roots and community is key to growth. It’s all about finding what resonates deeply and staying true to ourselves.

  • 82. Spirituality: Unpacking Tradition & Finding Your Truth Pt.1

    82. Spirituality: Unpacking Tradition & Finding Your Truth Pt.1
    May 13 2025

    In this wide-ranging conversation, Sonia and Roberta are joined by long-time friends Yadira and Emanuel to unpack their evolving relationships with faith and spirituality. They reflect on what it was like growing up in the church, how their beliefs have shifted over time, and the ways culture, community, and personal experience have shaped their spiritual paths. They explore the role of the Black church—both its deep cultural roots and its limitations—and why so many are rethinking what it means to be “religious” versus “spiritual.” It’s a thoughtful look at how faith grows and changes as we do.
