The Friend Zone

This week on #TheFriendZone , we continue our Black History Month Celebrations! We explore who really preserves Black history, what gets lost when stories aren’t recorded and how everyday people, not just institutions, keep our culture alive. We end with a simple challenge to preserve one piece of personal history before it fades.

This week on #TheFriendZone, we celebrate Black History Month! THE WORDS BLACK BOTTOM HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD THING. We look back at the rich Black History of the now defunct Detroit neighborhoods Black Bottom and Paradise Valley.

This week on #TheFriendZone, we share our thoughts on how 2026 has unfolded thus far. And how our sense of self, goals and hopes for the year have been impacted.

This week on #TheFriendZone, we're back from Winter Break! It's a shoot the sh*t episode. No Hot Button. No segments. Just whatever wants to come up. Brace yourself.

Surprise! It's a bonus episode of The Friend Zone! We asked you to share your favorite moments of the year and we put it all together to make a "Best of 2025" bonus for the holidays. The Friend Zone returns Wednesday, January 21, 2026.
