🎙️ Waxing Cynical is here – yes, it's another podcast nobody asked for, brought to you by two brown girls who were never given the mic (so we took it). As self-appointed outsiders and full-time sceptics, we're not here to solve anything – just to dig in, analyse, and side-eye the world of culture and business.

I'm an existentialist; Jamila Ali is a nihilist. Together, we’re here to see if there’s any meaning, substance, or even hope in consumer culture, or if it’s all just noise with a nice aesthetic. From fashion to digital, beauty to retail, we’ll be wading through it all and asking how brands might find more depth (without us holding our breath). Tune in if you’re into grumpy insights, big questions, and a little eye-roll or two.
