Summary

In this episode, Shanti recaps taking her daughter to her first arena concert, while Antoinette saw the F1 movie and nearly lost her mind. For politics, we discuss the Texas floods, climate change, and the need for political accountability, as well as Mamdani's recent "scandal" surrounding his identity. For pop culture, we discuss the challenges faced by Essence Festival this year, highlighting the disconnect between its traditional audience and newer generations, and if Jay-Z is a dead beat daddy?
