In this episode, Jenn and Daren tackle the myths and realities of holiday traditions, questioning the authenticity and significance of these celebrations. As they reflect on the end of 2024, they discuss the societal pressures surrounding holidays and the myths that shape our understanding of them. In The Conversation, they delve into the notion of identity-making and the role holidays play in it. They challenge the conventional narratives around holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, emphasizing the importance of authenticity over societal expectations. Through personal anecdotes, they highlight how their family has redefined holiday celebrations to align with their values, focusing on genuine connections rather than obligatory traditions. In The Reflection, Jenn and Daren explore the broader implications of myth-making, touching on topics such as Disney's corporate practices and the cultural impact of sports fandoms. They urge listeners to critically examine the myths they subscribe to and consider the power dynamics behind them. By questioning the status quo, they advocate for a more intentional and meaningful approach to identity and tradition.

We do “adult” differently. We are That Black Couple. Our goal is to create a space for Black millennials to discuss and embody adult life on their own terms. We aren’t beholden to “traditional” gender or parenting roles, queerness is fluid and present in the ways we show up in our relationships and in the world, and we want to build community with other 30-something Black folx who are trying to figure this ish out.
