What’s Going On: Communication Gaps in Black Families and Queer Love
In this episode of Together Real Bad, we dive deep into how generational communication habits in Black families impact our adult relationships—both romantic and platonic.
Beautifulll and Ace share stories from their childhood, how they were raised to handle (or avoid) conflict, and what it’s like navigating communication with family as out, queer Black women. From unspoken tensions and "what happens in this house stays in this house" mindsets to rebuilding sibling relationships and confronting parental silence, this conversation is raw, vulnerable, and very necessary.
We also talk:
Playing contact flag football in our 40s 🏈 (and paying for it with sore backs!)
Millennium Park summer music series & Digable Planets
A brunch review of Honey Bear Cafe 🍳
Family resistance to queerness and our journeys to acceptance
The emotional weight of trying to bridge generational gaps with love and boundaries
Pop culture: Queer Ultimatum Reunion (yes, we had thoughts.)
Our Black-Owned Biz of the Week: Chef Grady of Straight Up Bussin in Chicago
Shoutout to our new friends behind the Two Dope Grandmas podcast 👵🏽🔥
✨ Plus: We drop some serious gems around "The Four Horsemen" in relationships, emotional tools for couples, and how to move past conflict without burying it.
