Four cities. Unlimited shenanigans. Join Shelleen, Lisa, Aisha, and Elysha every Sunday as they bring sisterhood, laughter, and real talk to the mic. From parenting and personal growth to hip-hop culture, spirituality, and the wild ride of modern relationships, nothing is off-limits. From raw conversations about mental health, personal growth, family dynamics, and relationships, to lighthearted takes on music, pop culture, parenting, and the everyday chaos of adulting — no topic is off-limits. One moment you’ll hear reflections on loss, empathy, and resilience, and the next you’ll be caught up in playful banter about hip-hop culture, 90s nostalgia, Gemini personalities, or the art of pulling off a good prank. At its heart, this podcast is about connection, community, and the joy of storytelling. Through weekly check-ins, hilarious “shenanigans,” and honest personal stories, S.L.A.E. highlights the beauty of sisterhood while exploring how society, media, and culture shape the way we live, laugh, and love. ✨ S.L.A.E. stands for Shelleen, Lisa, Aisha, and Elysha — but it also means doing life well, supporting each other, and finding joy even in the mess. Every episode is filled with personal stories, sisterly banter, and a reminder that laughter isn’t just medicine — it’s survival. Tune in weekly on Spotify, YouTube, and iTunes. Because when women laugh together, we heal, connect, and of course… repeat. 💜episodicShelleen Henryadmin@slaelaughrepeat.comyes<![CDATA[Ep. 12 Don't Touch My Crown]]>In this episode of S.L.A.E. – Laugh, Repeat, we’re talking about something every Black woman has experienced: the opinions, expectations, and conversations surrounding our hair.

From dating while natural, to workplace microaggressions, to the real cost of maintaining our crowns, we break down the cultural, emotional, and financial realities of Black hair.

We discuss:

• Dating experiences with braids, wigs, and natural hair
• How partners react to the big chop or new styles
• Workplace comments like “Is that your real hair?”
• The hidden costs of maintaining healthy hair
• The influence of hair influencers and beauty standards
• The debate around wigs vs natural hair

And of course, we close with Crown Affirmations to celebrate the beauty, resilience, and creativity of Black women and our hair journeys.

If you’ve ever been asked to touch your hair, questioned your style choices, or spent an entire paycheck at the salon… this conversation is for you.

🎧 Listen, laugh, and join the conversation.

In this episode of S.L.A.E. Laugh Repeat, we break down our top “Am I the A-Hole?” holiday dilemmas we found from Reddit.

• Family dynamics and unrealistic expectations
• Secret Santa drama
• Navigating traditions that no longer serve you
• Relationship double standards
• Permission vs respect in partnerships
• Cultural and dietary boundaries at family gatherings
