Growing up, little girls are socialized to be likeable, friendly and be chosen. And as we grow up we continue to want to be chosen in every aspect of our lives, with the belief that there is no room for more than one at the table. As we get older we learn the importance of unlearning these behaviors, but for some it takes much longer than others.

This month all over the world Pride parades take place, not just filled with those in the LGBTQ+ community but with allies who feel a deep tie to the community. The best thing about this month is that no matter where you come from, or what language you speak, we are all uniting for a group that is constantly under attack and choosing to stand beside them rather than judging or simply turning away when the conversations get a bit too close for comfort.

This week, for part 1 of Joy is Still Resistance, the host will be chatting with the fabulous Terrence Fraser (he/him) who is a journalist who alongside the host attended the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism and is currently an associate producer for Zero Point Zero.

Now there are various ways of being a fan; it could be simply keeping tabs on when youre favorite artist drops a new album and immediately downloading every song, and going to every concert that artist performs, or it could be a more extreme fan who sets up a page dedicated to that artist and keeps tabs on what every single person says about that person online, taking matters into their own hands if they feel said artist is being disrespected. Does that sound like you? If not, what kind of fan are you?

As a society we tend to put a lot of pressure on artists to be the type of artists that we want to emulate, and to switch it up, but also be the same person we fell in love with. Thats a lot to ask from people we know intimately, let alone people we never met.

This week we are joined by multimedia journalist Bianca Rosembert to discuss societys pressure on celebs and how some take fandom too far.

The host spoke with Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson podcast regular Sheneca Sharpe in an episode titled, The Other Side of a Slap, last year to discuss what went down and what this meant moving forward for the two Hollywood stars.

This time around the host will be chatting with our recent guests and friends of the podcast Fiifi Frimpong and Kirk Cohall about Chris Rocks new comedy special, aka the first time he is publicly speaking on the fiasco and what this means for comedy in the bigger sense.

Are we becoming too woke and unable to truly handle a joke? Or do comedians need to get with the program and produce comedy that never offends others?

This week is quite a treat. Typically the show dives into sex, love, and relationships from the perspective of a 20-something in search of a relationship and possibly marriage and wanting children etc. We talk about the lessons we learn on this messy journey we call out love lives. But what if we shifted the conversation a bit?

This time we will be discussing the type of woman that society prefers to push into the corner where the word selfish'' is used to describe them; these women do not subscribe to the same standards in their dating lives and in this patriarchal society and are shunned for it.

These women do not want to necessarily be married, or have children and while some may be in search of a life partner, they refer to themselves as their own primary partners first and foremost. The host will be joined by Keturah Kendrick, a freelance writer and author of the book, No Thanks, Black Female, and Living in the Martyr-Free Zone.

Last year, the host spoke about Kanyes bizarre behavior and how his actions impacted those around him. Before, during and after that episode aired it seemed like everyday there was a new headline concerning Kanye. First it was his abuse toward his ex wife Kim Kardashian and her partner at the time Pete Davidson.

Then, it was his anti-semtism and anti-blackness. 2022 marked the year that Kanye would lose $1 billion in business deals, and the respect of his fans and many around him.

This week we will be discussing Kanye and what has come of the man that made a name of himself and became a legend in his own right. We will be joined once again by Katie Herchenroeder, a journalist who writes for The New Republic.

During the episode, the host referred to two Black men who trademarked 'White Lives Matter' in order to saw others from trademarking on the controversial rhetoric. To read more about these men and why they decided to trademark the phrase, visit NPR.

Last time we spoke about Megan the stallion and the incident that left her traumatized for years, we talked about the toll it must have taken on her and how she deserves justice.

As many of you might now know, Tory Lanez who violently assaulted her, has been found guilty by the court of law.

Although justice was served Meg still has to deal with the trauma of what she went through. This week we are going to focus on her healing, and how one event can truly change your life forever and how the hip-hop industry still remains silent throughout. We will be joined by our incredible friend to the podcast Sheneca Sharpe, a multimedia journalist and CUNY grad school alum.

All of our experiences shaped who we are, and although we are grateful for the lessons, many of us want a clean slate and to establish clear boundaries for how we want to go about our relationships and dating. And one of the more valuable lessons of this episode is the power of deep meaningful friendships and how it can get us through the toughest times.

We will be joined by the host's incredible friends who have gotten the host through a lot over the past year, and whom she helped get through a lot as well. Tiye Sheppard is a consultant, designer and social media manager, and has a lot to say when it comes to self-love and romantic relationships.

Megan Thee Stallion was shot by rapper Tory Lanez after an argument broke out between her friends in the car. Video footage from that night shows Megan The Stallion injured in her foot, as she looks around for help. The incident may have been two years ago, but for Meg, that very night would determine how she would move forward for the rest of her life.

Meg recently sat down in an interview with Gayle King to discuss what transpired that fateful night. But many on social media still criticize her and blame her for either not telling the truth, or withholding the truth of what really happened.

Since when did we start to view victims of abuse and violence with such venom? And Black men, where are you when we need you? To all my loud and proud Black male supporters of Black women, I salute you, but for the majority that are silent, come out, come out wherever you are. This week we will be joined by Bronx based journalist Fiifi Frimpong, to discuss from a Black mans perspective what is really being left unsaid. Follow Fiifi on IG and Twitter: @fiififrimong

The Will Smith and Chris Rock debacle still has everybody talking and will continue to have people talking for years to come. Most of us have never seen the Fresh Prince of Bel Air behave with such rage. But if it wasnt obvious enough before, Chris Rocks joke was the straw that broke the camels back, and Will Smiths rage has been building up for years. This week we will be talking about how the media has decided to spin Will Smiths slap as being less his fault, and more Jada's fault. As usual, women are attacked and blamed for the behavior of their men. And we are not here for any of it. We will be joined by the fabulous Sheneca Sharpe making her second debut on the podcast.
