Demetria L. Lucas

It's a kiki for the culture!!! Journalist and author Demetria L. Lucas brings the group chat to life on her weekly podcast where she-- and the occasional guest-- muses on pop culture shenanigans, global galavanting, political insanity, and whatever else has captivated the zeitgeist AND her inner circle. Ratchet & Respectable is published twice weekly, every Tuesday, every Friday. Listen wherever popular podcasts are heard. #ratchetandrespectable

Ratchet & Respectable

Demi survived Ghana, a US road trip and jet lag just in time to discuss the important things: Aaron Pierre and the very Black Lanterns, Ryan Clark's post-ESPN glow-up, the passing of feminist icon Gloria Steinem, and a man who allegedly convinced women he was an NFL player despite one tiny problem—HE WASN'T ON THE ROSTER.

We survived the Married at First Sight finale and reunion, where apologies were plentiful, good judgment was scarce, and somebody really should have packed her cat and left. Plus, RIP to Dolly Parton, and Kenya Moore has a brand-new face: unrecognizable, yes—but it’s a good face.

Black Wives, Single Husbands & Unreliable Narrators

Amy DuBois Barnett is an editor icon—the former editor-in-chief of Teen People, Honey and Ebony and one of those women everybody in media wants to be. And now, she is finally living the dream she first had in her 20s: novelist. We get into her juicy debut, If I Ruled the World, the glory—and danger—of working in Black media and hip-hop during the late ’90s, and why it's NEVER too late to circle back to the dream you left behind.
