"Let’s Talk Mess"

This week, Subrina, Tamia, and Yvette welcome the talented M'Shai S. Dash, an award-winning Muslim author, writer, and speaker from Washington, D.C. Known for her work on transforming adversity into purpose, Afrofuturism, and the power of storytelling, M'Shai joined us to promote her new book. But it quickly turned into a joyful session of “talking mess,” filled with witty banter and serious insights. Tune in for a fun, yet thoughtful conversation on art, activism, and social justice!
Her recent releases are a volume of poetry called Woman In Sujud, and Quirky Black Sci-Fi Tales: Volume II, the second installment in her debut sci-fi series.

Sisterhood in Action

The Sistas recorded this episode with the amazing Linda Park right after the 2024 U.S. elections. It’s a continuation of a deeper, more emotional sister talk we had before the show. We dive into our love for Hoshi Sato, what it was like growing up as an immigrant, and our unforgettable experiences on the Star Trek Cruise. Huge thanks to Linda for sharing her heart with us. We hope this conversation resonates with you as much as it did with us.
