Relationships, whether you’re in one or not, are a tough thing to navigate. Charla and Lauren have the bad date stories to prove it. Cultural critic and writer Demetria L. Lucas, who has spent plenty of time talking about love, sex and dating, joins in discussing how to mine relationships particularly as a black woman. This deeply personal conversation with Demetria centers on the social pressure to be in a relationship and what happens when things don’t turn out like you thought they would.  You can find more about The SLBW at https://www.instagram.com/theslbw/  Follow SLBW on Twitter and Instagram @theslbw Find Demetria on Twitter and Instagram @demetriallucas This episode is sponsored by Money Ha Ha podcast and HBO - A Black Lady Sketch Show.
