The Future of NYC (and Why You Should Care)

Fresh off their Wall Street Journal feature, Eva and Caroline reflect on the experience and the growing challenges of getting the full story in today’s media landscape. They also sound the alarm about the NYC mayoral race and what’s at stake for the city’s future. The conversation dives into Islamophobia — what it is, how it’s used, and why it can silence important critique of extremist ideologies. It’s an unfiltered talk about identity, power, and why now more than ever, we need to listen, question, and — most importantly — vote. This episode will make you laugh, cry, and pray for an election miracle!

We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.

We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place. Be ready to be… Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert.
