We’re back, Sis! This Tuesday, October 14th, Go Off, Sis returns with a two-part mini season celebrating the magic of HBCUs — the cookouts, the step shows, the legacy, and the love that lasts a lifetime.


Join hosts Kathleen Newman-Bremang, Sandy Pierre, and Claire Ateku as they chat with trailblazers like Melissa Butler, founder of The Lip Bar, and Love Island alum Olandria Carthen about owning your power, defining beauty, and the brilliance of Black culture on and off campus.

    48:47||Season 7, Ep. 2
    We’re back for part-two of our cute lil two-pack centered around gathering, and in this episode we’re taking TIME to figure out what do we actually want our summer to look like. From work obligations and career ambitions to juggling side hustles while staying #1 in the group chat we’re burning the candle at both ends and this conversation is centered in how we want to replenish our mind, body and spirits this summer. We’re getting into it - from the products that keep us looking and feeling our best, our summer themes, and throwing a little shade at our 20’s, to our relationship with ambition and how we define it for ourselves and not letting our work overtake our purpose. To get into all of it we’ll be joined by our favorite earth sign, multi-hyphenated, and Go Off, Sis alum Keke (Keep A Job) Palmer to discuss her summer plans and if she’ll soon be adding award-winning chef to that list of accolades.
