FOR LEGAL REASONS... Elle and Mani discuss the reunion of Love Island season 7. Andy was a guest and brought the Bravo. We are sadly spending time with Huda and Austin. The wrong girls were labeled the wrong things. We don't quite agree on Ace.... at all. This reunion was too much or not enough? We discuss so we can MOVE ON.

The Ken is BACK! A Hilarious and lively kiki (conversation) where Mani and Kendrick discuss a range of topics from their morning routines to the complexities of reality TV. They celebrate body positivity and personal growth while critiquing the dynamics of shows like Love Island, shows on VH1 and Bravo. The conversation touches on accountability in reality TV, the intricacies of celebrity relationships, and the challenges of parenting in the public eye. Talking from Basketball Wives to RHOC and RHOSLC Trailers, RHOM dynamics, discussing the implications of parental choices🥴, the representation of different cultures in media (shout out to Family Karma and Texicanas and Summer House MV), and the impact of racism within the reality TV genre. And of course some Bravo and other Hot Topics going on because we have to be messy.

*NEW AND CORRECT AUDIO* Yeehaw yall! Deep dive into the Hunting Wives with Mani (@mixingwithmani) and Kaya (@bravowhileblack). Spoilers ahead but GOOD ONES! Kaya and Mani talked the differences between the show and the novel (we did not read it but light research was done). They talk plot and script, what the sides of the aisle has to say and feel about it, and why it was the actual girly iconic series of the year in more ways than one. Yes we talk with spoilers and we try to talk about all plot lines, writing choices, and artistic choices. So hop up on that bull and take a shot of this, y'all! What did yall think of this show? Tell us on THREADS, INSTAGRAM, or Spotify comments!

The girlies are back for this emergency collab episode of Bravo We're Black x The Mix with Mani. A certain ChatGPT Heada$$ has been voted OFF the (love) island and a lil scandal has begun as JaNa from Love Island USA Season 6 split from Kenny the menace. We dive into that unfortunate drama as it has been unfolding in real time this week. Breaking it down, also, about how this is dangerous for black women and also affects women everywhere when you peel back the layers of how TRASH what this man did to 1/3 of PPG. 

We also are so hooked on our latest obsession on Netflix that we couldn't stop talking about it. And if you know me/her/us, you know it is the most UNLIKELY yet spot on rabbit hole for us to jump down. Are ya'll watching this?

Thanks for mixing with us!
