We’re BACK for Season 11! The hosts kick things off with a summer catch-up and one word to describe their vibe. This week’s CareFreeBlackGirl spotlight is on Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, who just announced her reelection bid.
Then we dive deep into “Gurl, I’m Not My Hustle” — the anti-grind conversation. From Kamala Harris to Michelle Obama, leaders are reminding us it’s okay to step back and let others lead. We unpack what it means to rest as resistance, bow out with intention, and shift from burnout to sustainable impact.
Plus:
💄 Hot or Not — JT’s Mac collab, Lizzo’s rap era, and new music from Ledisi
👜 Emergency Baddie Kit essentials for outside season
📚 Meka’s book pick
