"I do not shop with the Africans. Ain't no African ever braided my hair." A call to boycott African braiding shops, restaurants, and stores is gaining steam among some Black Americans, and the Aunties are here to shut down the diaspora wars.

This week, we're diving deep into the painful and divisive rhetoric fueling this boycott and questioning where this misdirected anger is coming from.

Join the unfiltered discussion as we get into:

• The Boycott: Unpacking the claims behind the boycott and why blaming one part of our community for bad service is a dangerous distraction.
• Beyoncé vs. Michael Jackson: A viral TikTok creator claims Beyoncé is now bigger than MJ. The Aunties break down why Michael's legacy is untouchable.
• Kemi Badenoch's Rebrand: The UK politician now says she no longer identifies as Nigerian. We discuss her desperate pandering and the betrayal felt by the community.
• Colorism & Pregnancy: Reacting to the pressure and intrusive questions a pregnant Jasmine Brown is facing about her unborn daughter's skin tone and hair texture.
