    Ep. 14 | Are We Racing Against Our Own Biological Clock feat. Lex P, KikiSaidSo & KillahBee
    2025/05/13
    On this week's episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B leads a candid, insightful conversation that tackles the persistent myths and societal pressures women face as they approach and cross the age of 30 (00:00). Joined by joined by special guests Lex P (Pour Minds), KikiSaidSo, and KillahBee, who speak from both personal experience and cultural observation, the episode explores how outdated timelines around career success, marriage, and motherhood continue to shape expectations—often creating unnecessary stress and self-doubt (07:36). The discussion challenges the idea that turning 30 signals a decline in beauty, value, or opportunity, and instead reframes it as a time of growth, clarity, and empowerment (14:31, 18:53). From navigating family expectations and breaking free of traditional gender roles (14:31), to redefining romantic partnerships in an era where women are increasingly financially independent (29:03, 39:55), the conversation highlights how modern women are rewriting the rules. Mandii and her guests unpack how financial freedom shifts relationship dynamics (44:34), why prenups are becoming essential tools of empowerment (44:34), and why real connection should matter more than status or security (34:42). They also open up about fears around aging and fertility (18:53, 47:17), offering affirming perspectives on how to embrace each phase of life with grace and power. Wrapping up with heartfelt advice to their younger selves, the conversation emphasizes the importance of confidence, self-worth, and financial literacy (56:36)—reminding listeners that the journey is theirs to define, no matter what the world says.

    EP. 13 | Reimagining The American Dream feat. Dometi Pongo
    2025/05/06
    On this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by journalist and cultural commentator Dometi Pongo for a thoughtful and timely conversation about the shifting meaning of the American Dream (00:00). Together, they examine how societal promises of success have evolved—especially for younger generations—and how factors like student debt, economic disparity, and generational trauma have made the traditional path to "making it" feel more like a myth than a milestone (10:00). They discuss how poverty is experienced and perceived in America compared to other parts of the world (29:55), and how hustle culture and the pursuit of titles can often mask deeper feelings of discontent (20:06, 40:03). Throughout the episode, Mandii and Dometi dissect the weight of societal expectations (41:57), question the true value of college degrees, and explore how individuals—especially those from marginalized communities—can reclaim the narrative by defining success on their own terms (57:05). They emphasize the power of community, shared responsibility (45:18), and cultural awareness in reshaping how we view ambition, purpose, and personal fulfillment (49:22). With honesty, wit, and insight, this episode offers a refreshing take on what it means to thrive in today’s world—without losing yourself chasing someone else’s dream.

    2025/04/15
    On this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandi B and special guests Syd and Reeezy (MESS Podcast) the hosts sit down for a layered conversation about privilege—what it looks like, who has it, and how it shows up in ways we may not always notice. From the jump, they offer a fresh perspective on privilege (02:51) and unpack the hierarchy of privilege (05:57) that exists in our society. They get into pretty privilege (08:47) and how it intersects with body image (11:58), before expanding the convo to include sexual orientation (15:05) and geographic privilege (17:56)—acknowledging how where you live can impact your access and experience. From there, the dialogue moves to educational privilege and its impact (21:09), and the ways race plays into privilege (24:00), especially in media representation (26:54). The crew highlights the double standards that exist within these privileges (30:10) and reflect on how they show up day-to-day. They continue with a breakdown of male privilege (32:48) and explore how safety is perceived differently depending on race and gender (35:07). The convo also gives space to women’s privileges and societal expectations (36:50), as well as the double-edged sword of pretty privilege (39:20)—how it helps in some ways and hurts in others. The group unpacks intersectionality and how privilege tests overlap (43:49), before diving into “woke” privilege and its role in activism and corporate spaces (46:57). They also touch on the often-overlooked privilege of articulation and effective communication (50:14), and the emotional weight behind male expectations (55:56). The episode closes with a final reflection on the hierarchy of privileges (01:00:31) and the importance of understanding how they all play a part in shaping our lives.

    Ep 9. | Why Do We Still Get Married
    2025/04/08
    Is marriage still the goal—or has the goal changed?

    In this thought-provoking episode of Selective Igonorance, Mandii B sits down with seasoned dating and relationship coach Alison (Align With Alison) to unpack how modern views on marriage are shifting, especially for successful women. Kicking things off at [00:00 – The Evolution of Marriage], they explore the roots of the institution and how its purpose has transformed over time. By [03:15 – Challenging Traditional Views on Marriage], the conversation starts pushing back on long-held beliefs, asking if tying the knot still holds the same weight in today’s world. As the discussion deepens, they reflect on [07:41 – The Value of Commitment in Relationships], highlighting what it really means to choose someone—and how that commitment can show up in different ways. At [10:20 – Vetting Partners: The Key to Successful Relationships], the guest breaks down why being intentional about who you allow into your life is crucial. That leads to a candid look at [13:58 – Understanding the Risks of Marriage] and the realities people often overlook when love and legal contracts mix. They don’t stop there. By [20:34 – Preparing for the Reality of Relationships], they’re talking about the emotional, financial, and personal groundwork that needs to happen before anyone says “I do.” That naturally flows into [24:52 – Navigating Business Relationships and Personal Vetting], where they touch on how similar principles apply in both love and entrepreneurship. The conversation returns to romantic partnerships at [28:40 – Understanding Risks in Relationships and Marriage], and then zooms in on actionable steps during [30:36 – Financial Protection for Successful Women], where they break down how to be smart and secure without guilt or shame. At [32:24 – Societal Pressures on Women Regarding Marriage and Motherhood], the discussion turns personal, unpacking the weight women carry to “have it all” and what happens when they choose a different path. By [36:03 – Setting Boundaries and Defining Personal Value], they offer empowering advice on how to stand firm in your worth—no ring required. And finally, at [40:30 – Redefining Lasting Love Beyond Traditional Norms], they close the loop by asking: What does lasting love really look like when you write the rules yourself? Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to think beyond tradition—and lean into what’s true for you.

  • Ep. 8 | Can We Enjoy Sports Without Racism?

    Ep. 8 | Can We Enjoy Sports Without Racism?
    2025/04/01
    On this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B and special guests Kazeem Famuyide (7pm In Brooklyn) and Kevin Clancey (Barstool Sports) take a deep dive into the layers of race, personal branding, and economics shaping the world of sports, with a spotlight on the WNBA and the rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. The conversation kicks off with The Problematic Nature of Race in Sports (00:00) before debating who truly represents the league’s future (01:57). As we compare Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese (05:06), we examine how race and public perception influence their careers and media narratives. Beyond the rivalry, we explore The Economic Landscape of Women's Basketball (10:08) and how personal branding plays a crucial role in an athlete’s success (11:31). The discussion expands to the broader impact of Race and Gender in Sports Narratives (16:19)—who gets to be the hero, and who is cast as the villain (20:19)? Shifting gears, we talk about the art of the game, from The Aesthetic Appeal of Athletic Performance (23:31) to the Ball family’s undeniable influence on modern basketball (28:03). We also break down The Rise of Caitlin Clark (30:13) and the ever-present scrutiny of Controversial Athlete Behavior (31:34). The episode takes an unexpected yet hilarious turn into everyday struggles, including Airport Etiquette and Travel Experiences (36:10)—because let’s be real, navigating TSA is a sport in itself. But we bring it back to the serious stuff, unpacking Accountability in Sports (46:26) and the role race plays in how we judge winners and losers (55:20). From the power of celebrity influence to the moral dilemmas of sports fandom, this episode pulls no punches. Tap in!
