We’re back for part-two of our cute lil two-pack centered around gathering, and in this episode we’re taking TIME to figure out what do we actually want our summer to look like. From work obligations and career ambitions to juggling side hustles while staying #1 in the group chat we’re burning the candle at both ends and this conversation is centered in how we want to replenish our mind, body and spirits this summer.
We’re getting into it - from the products that keep us looking and feeling our best, our summer themes, and throwing a little shade at our 20’s, to our relationship with ambition and how we define it for ourselves and not letting our work overtake our purpose.
To get into all of it we’ll be joined by our favorite earth sign, multi-hyphenated, and Go Off, Sis alum Keke (Keep A Job) Palmer to discuss her summer plans and if she’ll soon be adding award-winning chef to that list of accolades.

We’re looking good, festival season is in full swing. We’re outside-outside (not a typo - we’re living) and we have a lot to get into in the first part of this two-part episode centered around gathering, in all its forms.
We’ll be clearing the air and addressing the changes we’ve seen here at R29 and Unbothered, the side effects of podcasting, addressing the DM’s, offering some career advice, and sharing how we really feel about 50/50.
To add to the chat we’ll be joined by the beautiful, versatile, candid, and electric UK media personality Madame Joyce to get into it all with us.

In a live, intimate conversation with Chelsea cohost of Go Off, Sis at The King Pleasure Exhibit in Los Angeles, Jeanine and Lisane open up about their decision to share more of Jean-Michel’s work, the legacy he left behind, their family and ancestry, and how they’ve carried the legacy forward in their own right as sisters, mothers, and entrepreneurial Black women.
