The Talkatives Podcast

Ever felt like your boss was abusing their power? My cousin, Johnell and I dive headfirst into the murky world of workplace power dynamics, tackling some of our most intense job experiences. We take an intimate look at how the perception of black women in leadership roles may breed negativity and prejudice, sharing our personal encounters with bosses who disrespected their position in the process.
Swinging from power struggles at work to navigating social situations, we share our thoughts on interacting in various environments, from customer service to family gatherings, and how our energy levels can shape our perceptions and responses. We also touch on how TV shows play a vital part not just as self-care tools, but also as influential components of our culture. Along the way, we share some of our favorite shows, and the value they add to our lives.
Finally, we wrestle with the challenging art of balancing travel and podcasting, expressing our frustrations with the inevitable delays, cancellations, and the overall powerless feeling of being a customer. We conclude with a quote of the day from Devin the Dude, emphasizing the importance of freedom of choice and pursuing our dreams.
