In this powerful and soul-stirring episode, the Ladies of SOSA take a deep dive into the lesser-known history of the East African slave trade—a system that lasted centuries and reshaped entire communities from Sudan to Zanzibar.

We explore the African side of the story:

• How coastal cities became hubs for enslaved people,
• The complex roles played by Arab traders and local chiefs,
• And how this history connects to modern-day exploitation through systems like kafala in the Arab world today.

We also reflect on the transatlantic slave trade, drawing connections between freedom struggles across the Black world—and the importance of Juneteenth as a global reminder that freedom has always been fought for, not freely given.

Join us as we untangle the legacy of slavery across continents, reclaim forgotten stories, and hold space for healing, truth, and transformation.

You’ve seen the TikToks—women saying they’re “not girls’ girls,” tradwife aesthetics glamorized, soft life pressure mounting, and a strange shift in how we talk (and feel) about sisterhood. In this episode of Ladies of Sosa, we get real about the rising pressure to perform femininity perfectly—on social media, in relationships, and even around other women.

From submission content and financial control to “pick-me” behavior and girl code breakdowns, we explore what it means to move through this world as a young woman raised in community, culture, and often—confusion. We ask: is this softness—or survival? And what does it take to build trust between women when patriarchy still shapes so much of how we show up?

In this episode, the ladies of Sosa dive into the tangled web of age, power, and double standards in the dating world. From Tracee Ellis Ross’s take on dating younger men to the explosive $50 million lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe by a 19-year-old, we break down what happens when influence and intimacy collide. We also unpack Mo’Nique and Katt Williams’s viral warnings about the hidden costs of power imbalances, asking: Who really has the upper hand in age-gap relationships—and who pays the price when things go left? Tune in for bold takes, cultural critique, and unfiltered conversation.

In part one of this thought-provoking episode, The Ladies of Sosa dive deep into the roots of toxic masculinity and the rise of Red Pill ideology in African diaspora communities. What’s behind the growing appeal of anti-feminist rhetoric among some Black men? We explore the contrasts between South Sudanese and American views of masculinity, the presence of misogyny in our own circles, and most importantly, how we can begin to create safer spaces for men to be vulnerable, emotional, and whole.
