  Sep 12, 202634 min

  Brown Sugar gave us Black love, hip-hop, and chemistry… but did it also give us a masterclass in avoidance and what it can look like when you get off course from what you really want in life. We’re talking Black culture, mental health, attachment, authenticity, and the things we swear we’re not avoiding. Because sometimes the person standing in your way is…you. Join Charmaine and Jasmine, your two favorite therapists, as we unpack this movie, all the feels, and with some jokes in between.
