I am Muslim, and I love how positive and authentic they are. They have their values but they strive to learn and promote honesty, identity, and seem very grounded. The range in their videos is amazing. We need more of this.

I’m so lucky to know Gigi personally such an amazing person with a big heart, I have been a recipient of her “spoiling”❤. Saw that she was on the podcast and stayed up till 1:30 am to hear it! Loved it all, especially hearing her stories I learned a lot! Much love!💕🫶🏼

[@yalibiND]

I just started to follow you few days ago. It is an absolute pleasure listening to you. Your questions are well thought out. Your comments are insightful. The people you interview have such rich, well thought, kind, open views of many things. I have to admit that I was quite skeptical of your podcast based on how you were dressed ( I am ashamed of myself). I was expecting a religious cult, unreasonable conservative views… I was shamefully stereotyping you guys😢 I sincerely apologize. What a great podcast you have!❤ keep the great work. It is actually refreshing

Powerful episode, ladies. What an honor to listen to the fascinating experience of your grandmother, who like so may others, hold lifetimes of knowledge to share with the world but often go unnoticed or completely forgotten. I am sure it is as much an honor for you all, as it was for us, to learn from the accounts and perspectives of a woman with such as a vibrant history and interesting perspective. Thank you all for sharing that time with us. Please continue these groundbreaking podcasts. Upward and onward to 100,000 subscribers.

I came across your podcast this week by chance. It is refreshing to see and here smart and interesting virtuous, African-Americans and Caucasian Americans blended in one family. On one of your podcasts that I watched, there were three young Ladies. What is the third one a cousin too? The broad age ranges that I’ve seen in a few podcast that I’ve watched, very interesting and enlightening.

[@LadyGem89]

New subscriber here. I actually love Gigi! It kind of made me think about a lot of things and that’s what was so lovely about this entire video. First, it made me think about what I can do, or what I could’ve done for oppressed people in general… how could I make a difference? Secondly , I felt somewhat “bad” because my own Grandmother who was born in the 30s would sometimes say things inappropriately and coming from “her time” she was raised to think that you kind of “stay with your own kind” and I remember discussing this with her at one point as a real young child and saying “what does that mean, I thought you said we’re ALL the same?” And then my uncle, her own son who was Italian (like she was of course) had married my Aunt, a gorgeous, sweet, successful Jamaican woman.. my Uncle purposely married her on my 6th birthday and I was the flower girl.. children have no filter and I remember telling her “why is my skin boring-er than your skin?” She told me something along the lines of “DONT say that, your skin is so pretty, just like my skin is pretty- we are all unique and that’s what makes us special” and I remember her eyes filled with “happy tears” I didn’t realize why at that time but I now know it’s because here I was this young child just accepting and loving people for who they are, not their skin color or where they came from etc and I actually even complimented her beautiful skin without even realizing it.. she knew she was beautiful but I know that she had been through some really tough situations where people treated her pretty shitty simply because of the color of her skin that I had admired so much smh. My grandmother was even a little put off by the fact that my mother (her daughter) married my father who wasn’t Italian.. she ended up really loving my dad and I ended up finding out that she herself truly didn’t hate or dislike anyone for what they look like or where they came from.. she was just doing what she had been taught to do and what she had seen people in her community do growing up… I grew up having friends that were back, white, Hispanic, Asian etc I didn’t care as long as you were a good person and we got along. I’m from NYC and it’s very diverse and I rarely ever saw anyone have an issue with whites and blacks etc hanging out together but I remember when I was a teenager I’d go to South Carolina during the summer time and when I was about 17 I was hanging out on the side of town that was primarily African American and I would get stopped by the police and pulled to the side and asked what I was doing in that neighborhood because the cops thought that I had to have some terrible reason.. I couldn’t just be there because I had friends there even though that WAS the case.. I’d always give them that same answer but they’d totally ignore that and ask “are you buying drugs, come on what’s going on here?” And that alone disgusted me. I thought “omg if I’m being harassed for hanging out here , imagine what the people who live here are going through” I was sad for my friends. When I would tell my friends that the cops would say to me.. they seemed like it was so big deal, they were so used to it. THAT IS NOT ok.. that is not how it should be. Smh

Racism like an institution trains people to become racist and besides spiritual conversion, it equally takes another institution such as the one you guys are establishing to enlighten and educate people about the fact that every race is a part of the human diversity and that is what the creator intended. It's like height. A tall person is not superior to short people he is only a tall person just as a short person is not inferior but only short. And everyone has their pluses and minuses period🤔

[@sjones2195]

@Gottabme did you guys ever wonder or ask why your fathers chose to procreate with white women instead of black women since the community is so important I would think it’s also important to create fully black families. I know it’s a part of life and what we deal with but even with all the great knowledge you have, you still consider yourself a black woman but you’re biracial not just black. White people gate keep their race and don’t allow biracial people to call themselves white but you always see biracial people calling themselves black instead of mixed. I have always wondered how can a pro black person care so much but still decide to go out of the community and marry out of the race . I’m very passionate about the topics you speak on in general and I hope you young ladies don’t take this the wrong way but it seems like you are very open and honest about your experiences so I wanted to get a honest response about it.

[@CozyChroniclez]

Why must we gate keep just because others do?

[@mizzwright3976]

I noticed in their bio on the channel they refer to themselves as African American women…even though at least one of them is biracial. Interesting 🤔

No one has the courage to say the obvious…. The abandonment of Black women by black men to choose descendants of our oppressors. Yet we applaud these newly formed families who act as spokespersons for black people. How insulting.

[@sowhat...]

If they're descendants of oppressors that implies they're not oppressors so what's the problem? And how do you know if they descend from oppressors or what do you define as oppressors?

[@ChipDouglas-lw9xh]

So African immigrants are descendants of the oppressors as well since they sold the people to the other oppressors.

[@user-td2vf2cw2s]

L take. People don't always pick and choose who they end up marrying and having kids with, it just happens. You fall in love with whomever you get along with and whoever is in your neighborhood or environment. Nobody wakes up and says let me go specifically find a particular race to date. That would be weird.
