Ladies Doing Stuff Podcast

Aamber and Charlie understand that adulting as millennial black women in Los Angeles is not easy. These best friends started Ladies Doing Stuff Podcast so that women can know they are not alone in their desire for perfection, or even just for survival. After college graduation, the ladies simply picked up their high school friendship right where they left off; but they found that their adult lives were not that simple at all. Job losses, new marriages, and keeping friendships are just a few things that they learned to navigate along the way. All of this while living in Los Angeles, a city with not-so-many “angels” as it turns out. Aamber and Charlie created Ladies Doing Stuff Podcast as a safe space to share hilarious experiences, contrasting opinions, and to create a proudly imperfect community for women of color.

No Good Men Out There

July 11, 2023 • 53 mins

The Ladies wanna know if there’s any good men left because our track record - more specifically Cheram’s track record - has yielded negative returns on investments when it comes to trying to find a partner.

That means something is wrong with the world, right? There’s just a bunch of unloved and unhealed men who don’t know what it means to love anyone outside of themselves right? Or what if we were the problem?

"I don't know if you know this about us, but we're 30 something..."

Cheram and Aamber look back at their 20-ish year old selves and ask "how were you feeling then versus now?"
