Yamaneika has questions: Why can’t Chloe Bailey play Storm? Why can’t a mom finish a marathon without being called a bad mother? And how do you throw a Dominican party with no Cardi B? This week, Yamaneika gets into beauty, aging, Blackness, anti-Blackness, and the exhausting expectation that Black people make everybody else comfortable before "Listener Letters" tackles friendship boundaries and whether anal is a vacation activity or a recurring subscription. Somehow, Popeyes biscuits get involved.
