We all know you can't choose your family and your siblings are here for life... Or so we thought. This is for anyone who inherited the gift of having a sibling (biological, half, or step) or if you have a “Brother from another Mother” or a “ Sister from another Mister”. The gang discusses the love we have, or the lack thereof, for those people we can't seem to shake. Does sharing DNA with someone make you closer? How’s the bond between siblings created? Do we start out with love for our siblings or do we grow to love them?! Rezz drops a bomb about her family situation and Meezy unpacks his dynamic with his siblings. Turn this one up, Rezz and Meezy have A LOT to tell ya. Tune into this week's episode and make sure you use our hashtag #TextualTuesday! Talk to us, we talk back.

This week the TA crew is joined by Black Film Writer, Director, and actor Philaye of Black Sex and The City to discuss their creative experience.

Why is it important to be authentic? Should you warm the oven up before you dive into feedback? Tune in and listen to the crew discuss the importance of support systems and learn how to support your favorite creative!

We’ve all been done wrong, the natural reaction is to expect an apology. The truth is, that apology might not come. If it does, are you ready to forgive? How would you like to receive it? How should apologies be given? Meezy calls out Rezz for her crazy remarks, Nick admits he needs his apologies with something extra, and the crew helps a member of The Grey Area with an issue. Take the apology language quiz (not mandatory), sit back and listen to The crew unpack Apologies.

A new year brings new problems. As we get older, it seems like that people always expect more from us. Are these expectations realistic? Are we hurting ourselves trying to reach these outlandish standards? Rezz kicks off this episode with a discussion she had with her father, Meezy chimes in with the pressures he receives from his family, and Nick puts emphasis on life being about more than THE HIGHLIGHTS. We finish up by reading a Group Message. Tune in to hear more about unrealistic expectations that are setting Millennials up for failure.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We had some great times in 2018 and wanted to share them with our new listeners and reminisce with The Grey Area (we love y’all). So pop an Advil, throw those shades on, lay back and take a trip down memory lane with your favorite podcast.
