Episode 11: Florida A&M University

Title: Flirtation Flip: When the Game Gets Reversed

This week, we dive into a rarely explored angle—what happens when a woman makes the first move, and the guy isn’t into it? Dwayne gets unexpectedly pursued by classmate Peggy, and instead of honesty, he leans on a lie to escape the situation. Denise steps in to defend his right to have boundaries, and we talk all about emotional consent, reversed gender roles, and why honesty (with grace) still matters. We also explore dating older women, personal space, and what sisterhood looks like when your friend is in an uncomfortable spot.

🔁 We’re flipping the script—because vulnerability and boundaries aren’t just for one gender.

Title: Family, Gifts, and Grown-Up Shifts

This week on Hillman Rewind, Nichole and DJ Diggy dive into the grown-up moments that college doesn’t quite prepare you for— what it means to see our parents as full humans, not just caretakers — and the emotional maturity required when life hits differently. we’re unpacking how college forces us to grow up—emotionally, socially, and personally.

🎓 Hillman Homework: When did it first hit you that your parents were just people, trying to figure things out too? Or… what’s the most thoughtful, funny, or cringeworthy college gift you ever gave (or got)?
