This episode is focused around natures of sexual violence, suicide, depression and such. As these are sensitive topics, please be mindful of your comments. This is a safe space, and we are here to talk, be there for each other, and help each other out, not break each other down.

V and Keda continue the conversation from last week’s episode regarding sexual violence against women. V shares her story about her encounter with a man that almost stripped her of her womanhood. And Keda bravely publicly shares the details of her father’s suicide, for the first time in 15 years.

**********TRIGGER WARNING******** *TRIGGER WARNING* *******

*Please note some of the stories that were shared on this episode were requested to be removed, due to the nature of the topic. Therefore, some of the edits may seem out of place.

Please understand we are here to share stories that women are ready to share. However, once they have revealed they are not yet ready with their story going public, we will adhere to their request.*

*Whew.* This episode was HEAVY #SBFam.

We sat in studio today with our friend Muna. A current student in her Master's program at one of South Korea's most prestigious universities. As Muna is entering her final semester of her graduate studies, she is currently in the process of completing her Thesis; which deals with Sexual Abuse of International/Exchange Women in University. She shared the reasoning behind why she selected this topic. As well as why it is so important for her to conduct her studies and research regarding this type of sexual abuse. We also shared our own personal stories of sexual abuse/misconduct and why Muna's study means so much to us.

As always we ended our episode with a game of 'What Would You Do?'
This episode may be tough for some, but we felt this was important to share this with our viewers and to be as open and honest as possible, while still respecting the stories of others.

If you are a current or previous International/Exchange student that attended Uni in South Korea and you have a personal story of sexual abuse, please contact Muna @whatthemuna. Your voices need to be heard.

On this episode, we had a chat with our non-binary friend, Bomi, This episode was so informative and we're truly grateful that Bomi joined us in studio to share they're stories.

Bomi graciously shared they're stories with us and how they navigate through life being a non-binary human bean. They dug deep and shared some really sensitive info about living a non-binary existence from family, friends, lovers, and how they are dealing with their dysmorphia and depression every day.

We were definitely on the sauce with this one. This episode was hella saucy (no pun intended). Your fave duo spilt some soju with En the sauce - a group of young, black creators in Korea. We had the pleasure of being joined in studio by two of the members, Asha and Jameelah, and man did we have some good laughs! These ladies are hilarious, and their YouTube channel is bound to crack you up!

This was a really energetic episode with lots of shade and straight up honesty all around. It was a pleasure to finally sit down with these beautiful ladies. It felt like a catchup sesh with a couple of old friends, and it was a lot of fun.

Also, let's settle this once and for all... which one is better: NYC or Florida, and why? Hit us up on our IG: @thesojublack

You can also catch Jameela (@thronetowolves) and Asha (@ashajebal) on their YT channel En the Sauce and on IG @enthesauce
