August Obsessions

"I recently just binged all of the celebrity home tours on the Architectural Digest YouTube channel and I am obsessed."–Anna

"The Michelle Obama podcast recently debuted on Spotify and it’s amazing! The first episode features Michelle interviewing Barack–there’s something really special and captivating about hearing them have a causal conversation."–Maggie

"I am constantly listening to Dream It Real, a weekly podcast by Coach, hosted by writer Heben Nigatu. Each episode is an interview with a celebrity guest or thought leader about their dreams for themselves, for their communities and for the world. So many inspiring conversations–I can’t get enough!"–Pujah

"Apparently I’m extremely late to this show, but I recently started Brothers & Sisters because it’s streaming on Hulu and it is AMAZING. I’m a sucker for a good family drama and this show is just that. There are 5 seasons with around 20 episodes each so you’ll be set for a while. I’m currently on season 3 and it just keeps getting better."–Taylor

"I love finding shows that have a lot of seasons out because I get impatient waiting for the next episode or season to air (perfect for binge-watching). I’m currently really into Dynasty which is a remake of a 1980s show & let’s just say there is no lack of drama."–Natalie

"I really love the podcast The Diversity Gap podcast because they use vulnerable conversations and lessons to help explain the lack of diversity in our society and everyday culture and ways that you can actually make changes."–Anna

"Spotify currently has a playlist on their podcast channel called “In Remembrance of John Lewis” that I highly recommend listening to! It includes all of the speeches from the politician’s funeral–the work John Lewis did in his lifetime is incredible and these speeches are a true testament of his impact."–Taylor

"I recently started following social justice activist and anti-racism educator Marie Beecha on Instagram, where she shares insightful lessons, resources, and actionable advice in a digestible way. Her account is a must-follow."–Maggie

"I’m on the last chapter of Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More by Janet Mock and I can confidently say this was one of the most inspirational, eye-opening books I have ever read. The author publicly came out in 2011, and explained her experiences of growing up multiracial and trans in America. If you’re looking for a new book to binge, I highly recommend this one!"–Pujah

"The Instagram account @soyouwanttotalkabout breaks down political and social topics into a digestible way with graphic slides. It’s really helped me stay informed & educated on the latest issues and facilitates meaningful conversation amongst my group chat. Highly recommend following this account!"–Natalie
