There’s often this preconceived notion that aging gracefully is built into Black women’s genetic code. We’ve all heard the age-old adage, “Black Don’t Crack.” But the truth is, it does if you don’t take care of it.
As Satta and Jaretta navigate their 30s, they’ve started to ask themselves how far they’re willing to go to maintain (or change) what they have. Plastic surgery is becoming normalized, and in the era of BBLs, what’s wrong with a little nip-tuck?
In this episode, the sisters explore what it means to age with grace, dealing with body-shaming aunties, potentially going under the knife, and society’s ever-changing definition of beauty, as well as:
