Black women don't get a day off from judgement - and sometimes it comes from our own.

In this episode we switch it up - three cousins (Bri, Langston, and Alexis) unpack the real, raw and often unspoken issues black women STILL face on a daily basis:

Feeling too mixed or not black enough, judgement for how we wear our hair, code switching , identity politics, interracial dating and being side eyed by both sides.

This is about true lived experience , messy middle grounds and pressure to preform blackness "correctly" so if you've ever felt policed by your own community, this episode is for you .

We've all seen the cozy cafes on the internet, the latte art etc, but what happens when you actually follow the trend of opening a cafe and it nearly breaks you?

In this episode of URL vs IRL, I sit down with Lauren and Ryan, the married duo behind Evermore, one of the most beloved cafés in Burlington. We talk about starting a business with zero barista experience, surviving the pandemic, working 7 days a week for years, and yes—catching customers cheating in their café… Sheesh

If you’ve ever said “I want to open a cute coffee shop,” this one’s for you.

Better late than never !

Todays episode is a big one even though its short form.

In this episode your host bri dives deeper on her life offline journey and decides to take a big step with the podcast and move to biweekly episodes. But don't worry! it's not you... it's me. This is going to be a better chapter that will give her more time to live life and pour her creative soul into this passion project without being burnt out . Hoping that every supporter here is understanding and loving and loyal enough to stick and stay .Thank you all so much for your support over this first year of podcasting . It has truly been a pleasure.

xoxo bri

See you on the 17!!
