Edges

Westwood One

There are these moments in each of our lives that kind of mark who we are — the stories we tell on first dates and at parties, or spend years avoiding in therapy. For Shantae (she/her(s)), these chapters of life are inextricably tied to her hair. Edges is a seasonal anthology where Shantae invites friends, family and other folks in the Black community to share their "hair x mental health" stories as she unpacks her own (ongoing) identity crisis.

When Magic Happens: Relationshipping with Tennesha Wood

5/22/2023
Today, we’re sharing an episode of When Magic Happens, a new podcast from WBEZ Chicago, where intergenerational convos of love and laughter collide. In this episode All about how we deal with relationships, the cute and the crazy. “And I am telling you, I’m not going,” a young Effie White once said. And let’s be real, we’ve all been dream girls, tethered to relationships way past their expiration date. This week, Jennifer, Taylor and Cheryle talk about why they stayed in relationships that weren’t working, why they eventually left, and new approaches to dating that shake things up. Then Jennifer talks with Tennesha Wood, matchmaker and founder of The Broom List, a matchmaking firm that serves Black, marriage-seeking professionals. She shares her personal love story, sheds light on why we stay in dysfunction, and tells us what your dating app profile reveals about you. If you’ve been waiting to exhale, then shoop shoop.
