Welcome to Black Boomer Besties From Brooklyn!
This is what the world needs now: Two free-thinking “seasoned” black women speaking their truth and inspiring others to do the same.
Shaped by 45 years of friendship that began at the prestigious Brooklyn Technical High School through the Ivy League, medical school, marriages, divorces, triumphs, parenting queer children, life-threatening illness, and many many amazing adventures.
Each week, besties Leslie Osei-Tutu and Angella Fraser will push against boundaries in love, culture, careers, faith, politics, and outdated assumptions about women of a certain age. Remember, you’re never too old to change your mind…or your hair!

Amazing story about doing thing for our neighbors bring me back to my childhood... blessings
Friendship is being present, patient, loving and respectful when you think your friend is driving you nuts and still be able to translate what she is articulating in her own poetic way. I get you both because my mind is a blend of both of your thinking. You complement one another and it's a joy to listen to you and watch you navigate it. Quirky is beautiful! You are so funny! Thanks ladies! " one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star" Nietzsche said... Loved this conversation!
@@sheeba4165 thanks so much for the kind words! Yeah, we may drive each other nuts at times (rarely) but we can’t live without the other either. Thanks for listening
I love y'all!!
@@antoniabrown9665 warms our hearts. Thanks for listening!
How arrogant and narcissistic.
That's an interesting observation.
That's our job
Trump 2024
@@Jupiterxice thanks for chiming in. Please listen again…
In Mỹ opinion if Camilla wins, our country is destroyed. She also destroyed San Francisco with her new policies, but if trump wins, the democrats go crazy.
Idiots
I thought she was Indian...
Wow i cant belive we have people out here still acting like she is gonna help us she will ruin us
@@jaydallastx622 we are commenting more specifically about the interview that the former president gave to the journalist association. We appreciate you for listening and commenting.
Shameful
@@kevinmclemore7883 thanks for tuning in and participating.
We are the most race struck people she ain't even black
Nah, Camila needs to lose, if she wins she will drive this country into the ground
@@Star-wars-guy-28 thanks for tuning in. BTW- the Vice President’s name is KAMALA (pronounced comma-la)
You women know that kamala is Evil 😈 and yall are evil too because you want her to win and she's Hindu Indian and Irish not black
Before Trump, I had not seen such a clear example of “Gish galloping”

Two crazy woman...
Yeah, we're not everyone's cup of tea
I was so upset at the way he attacked her. And that he said she was attacking him without even saying hello. But she had said hello and welcome when she introduced him. He was just awful to her.
Yes, completely distasteful! Thanks for watching and weighing in.
U upset caus ethe the lady in the blue was out of pocket and a real man checked her. You be aight. BTW Trump said hello and hi before matching her energy.
The journalist was rude and condescending in her initial questions & she showed no accountability
We saw it as a legit question: for a political candidate to explain what he has actually done.
@blackboomerbestiesfrombrooklyn it may have been a legit question, but she made herself look foolish and unprofessional, period. She attempted to railroad him, tact is always the best route she sounded like an angry person.
The orange menance doesn't care about us, he see black people as beneath him. The orange menance likes chaos and enjoys putting people against each other. As a people we need to see 👀 the forest for the trees 🌳. Legacy/ corporate/ mainstream media is on the game playing of both siding the issues. Very often giving the Orange menance a past and allowing him and GOP members to say and get away with a lot. Basically, the mainstream media carries the water for the GOP. It's how they frame questions or in their commentary. It's ridiculous. They've become part of the problem.
Definitely see your point. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Appreciate your subscribing.
I think Rachel Scott saved the day. She asked questions and followed up in a way that the mainstream media have refused to do with Trump. I thought her first question was brilliant and addressed his hatred and hypocrisy like no one else has dared to do. I agree with you NABJ should have been ready to intervene when he became disrespectful. Allowing Trump to attack Rachel Scott was inexcusable. NABJ should have had a moderator ready to do so.
I totally agree. Thanks so much for listening and weighing in.
Great show ladies!❤
Thank you for listening!
I wish initial journalist response would have noted how offended he was by his own words. Also someone should have clarified the real reason for the 35 minute delay being related to his aversion to real time fact checks.
Yeah, kinda crazy how that lie was allowed to go unchecked. Notably his criticism of the audio equipment. Thanks for weighing in. We appreciate you
Utter nonsense she looked silly and it was clear to those with a brain...when are you going to stop relying on your oppressor fact checking organisation and use you brain... How high is inflation what is the cost of food and petrol..what about interest rate....those thing keep us at the bottom...brought to you by her administration...
It's not that they are immigrants, the problem is when illegal immigrants. I don't think anyone has a problem with legal immigrants. But if I was to move to another country the 1st thing I would have to do is go through the process of becoming a legal resident
That's what they are trying to do. They have the right to seek asylum and start that process once they hit american soil. The problem is that it's not a streamline process, especially if they try it in their own country. That's why many try to do it directly in America , but it's on America to fix the process and make it more organized, fair, and attainable.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. Stay tuned and keep the comments coming!
It took me a long time to change my mind about this but I agree with Leslie, I don’t believe most people do their best. I think most people do what they can get away with & what is easiest for them. In terms of customer service, that’s why companies like Chick fil a & Disney World stand out; they have standards for excellent service that are communicated to & normed with their staff. The customer service experience is consistent within their organizations.
Totally have had that consistent experience at some companies!
this got recommended to me! liked and subbed
Appreciate you for listening, liking & subscribing❤️👊🏼
Thanks so much sobrietyK! Stay tuned for more
What is there to fact check? Migrants situation is out of control inflation is high. Trump is saying what the people are saying.
Are the people also saying that it would be ok to pardon convicted January 6 insurrectionists who attacked police officers? Are they saying it’s ok to spew blatant lies about Democrats approving abortions at nine months? Are people saying it’s ok to falsely accuse VP Harris of suddenly turning Black? Trump is the liar in chief and can’t go two seconds without lying.
Not us people. Thanks for your comment. Dialog is welcome.
I am still waiting for a definition of a black job. But in the meantime, I’ll assume “they” mean unskilled, manual labor - maybe day jobs. Jobs that don’t require higher education. Maybe store clerks??? In comparison here’s what migrants are doing to get by in my Queens, NY area. I don’t know of any African American/black people in competition for this (although I am seeing more African migrants on the streets selling headphones, lately. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g4p605d7qKTIZM4.htmlsi=qqGWUN00GCfqjhMe We need to be highly selective about who we invite to speak with us, interview us, and debate us. Excellent job, Besties 🥰
@@lgibs666 wow. so incite full. Yes, a wolf was allowed in the henhouse and it should have been anticipated. We would do well to be more self protective. Thanks for weighing in
I agree. We need to keep that "black job" trope active. Certainly not rooted n any reality I'm aware of. Thanks for your comment

Am I not be black but I know one thing that's true you can say whatever you want to say about us white people what we have done wrong but last time I checked it was your African people your ancestors that sold you so I'm just giving you a history lesson your people sold your people I feel very terrible about mine but you should feel terrible about yours slavery would never happen if your people didn't sold your own
Thank you for having this conversation. It was right on time... especially in this political climate. It's so sweet to know that the two of you won't just be friends for 40, 50, or 60+ years, but you will be friends for eternity!❤
Yes, besties in this lifetime and the next! 🥰Thank you for listening. Feel free to share your thoughts and if you're really feeling this episode, please share it with others.
Indeed. What a lovely view. Your comment is so appreciated and timely. Wow. We’re together right now having a discussion about how to allow the Spirit to lead, and trust instead of trying to be “right like robots”. Thanks for listening and supporting us.

Breaking Black News!!! The Benign Neglect, Anti-Black Racist policies, trick-bag reparation scams will NOT be Tolerated by this generation!!! The Democrats (and the Republicans) were told that the road to the white house is the Black Agenda GETS the Black Vote!!! "Cut The Check" GETS the Black Vote!!! or COUCH 2024!!! They heard us the first time!!! They hear us Now!!! Now, don't you think it's time to address Lineage Based "Direct Cash Payment" Reparations specifically for Foundational Black American, FREEDMEN descendants of United States of America Chattel Slavery? You're well aware of American slavery and the legacy of that and that we were never compensated or given restitution. So, when America ended slavery, it didn't do for us what it did for literally everybody else. It made them whole. It gave them compensation. We were just turned loose in a society that was making laws against us the entire time and still continues to do so. So, what I'm saying is that it was never rectified and that is the cause, the root cause of our current condition today is this ongoing practice of perpetuating what occurred, rather than remedying it. So, they remedied it for everybody else. Now whether or not, how they used it is a different matter. You know when you talk about the Indian casinos and what not, well they gave them their reparations and they can use it however they want to. You can have your opinions about that, but nobody took care of ours and we're talking about from chattel slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, prison industrial complex. You know we keep going after period after period of time of targeting us and taking our wealth from us and giving it to the White Society and at no point restoring that? - Jason "The Black Authority" Black "We have no permanent friends. We have no permanent enemies. We Only have permanent interest" -Professor BlackTruth. #B1 #WeAreTheBlackMedia No Reparations!!! No Vote!!! No Kidding!!!

This is really sweet! Stephanie and Roshida are truly modern day Harriet Tubmans. I wonder how many black women have been set free by watching their videos. Personally, just knowing the possibilities of moving abroad is life-changing. I feel like history is being made right now.
Appreciate the ❤️ and agree with how much their impact has been a force for good. All the best to you & yours.
