Chile, Please™ Podcast

Grown. Enough. And still figuring it out.

Black women over 40 are out here defying odds, grabbing happiness, and living unapologetically. Hosted by Felicia Pride, writer and pleasure seeker, and Ivy Grant, corporate strategist and self-indulger in training, “Chile, Please” is a personal and fearless exploration of the pleasures and pains of being Black and women of a certain age. It’s the sister talk that hoots and hollers, testifies and satisfies, to remind you that you’re not alone in this.
