It’s Black History Month! So Alexandra and Lenya check in about how they’re feeling and what they’re doing for Black History Month. They both have a selection of movies and shows they’ve been watching lately, and they both have opinions on Black History Month itself.

Lenya and Alexandra also check in on how they’ve had to cope with the COVID-19 lockdowns over the year, changing their workout routines and more. Plus a deeper dive into the colorism and racism of Bridgerton on Netflix.
