Show notes

In this episode of We Talk Back, AJ Holiday and TamBam recap their weekends, from AJ's unforgettable time at Jeezy's Black Tie Affair in Las Vegas—where she enjoyed performances from Mary J. Blige and reflected on the influence women have in relationships—to TamBam's birthday celebration in Washington, D.C., complete with a visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, a full day of self-care at the spa, and brunch with her sisters. The hosts also dive into this week's biggest headlines, including a class-action lawsuit alleging Workday's AI hiring technology discriminates based on race and age, growing concerns over airport facial recognition and biometric data collection, a viral catfishing story involving stolen photos, and a widow's shocking discovery after reading her late husband's emails.

The conversation expands into discussions about cultural accountability, reacting to controversy surrounding an Argentina restaurant named "Big Nigga Burger" before exploring why so many people feel unfulfilled despite pursuing success. AJ and TamBam unpack the pressures of debt, subscription culture, inflation, and constant comparison in the social media era, while emphasizing the importance of gratitude, therapy, discipline, and protecting your peace.
