Welcome to AA - Accountability Anonymous! We’re all hot on being progressive and the best versions of ourselves in public, but how accountable do we hold ourselves in private? “Wait… Am I Toxic?” is Fola and Rukiya’s safe space, where Black Brits can feel seen and take a break from cosplay adulting! Join us to talk about the real things we go through privately and the things we’d rather chew denim than share in public.

episode 8: "I keep secretly hoping my friend loses her job"
Jealous friends are BAD FRIENDS... right? Jealousy is one of those complex emotions we all experience, but NEVER confess, so we were glad that this week's submission made us get into it.
episode 7: Wait, do you even know who we are?
You’ve all been so supportive sharing your toxic thoughts with us recently, we thought it was only right that we shared more of ourselves with you this week! In this week's special, Fola and Rukiya learn new things about each other and reminisce on the days...
episode 6: "I'm throwing him a surprise birthday party to make him fall in love with me"
Ever manipulated your way into love? This week’s anonymous toxic thinker admits that they want to plan a surprise birthday party for their boo, with the hopes that he will fall for them.
episode 5: Wait, so my experiences growing up in the hood weren't normal?
How many of us who grew up in the hood have a funny story that would make the room fall silent if shared in the wrong space? Fola reminisces on having to wear lace up shoes so she could run home after the dance at the age of 14 and Rukiya thinks about all of the ridiculous experiences she had to hide from her mum.
episode 4: Cheers to a SOFT 2022!!
HAPPY NEW YEEEE!! This week's toxic thought submission made us explore all of the unnecessary pressure around the new year. We discuss just how flimsy the constraint of judging your life's achievements on 365 days is and laugh at some of the madnesses that 2021 tried to throw our way.
episode 3: Dear black men, we are (kinda) sorry!
Merryyyyy Christmassssss!!!!! This week we get into the infamous ick list and the hilarious and ridiculous things that have given women the ick.

episode 2: The man in Pizza GoGo and his colourist mozzarella sticks
We’re baaackkkk!! In episode 2 we pick up right where we left off and Rukiya explains why she thinks her life might be easier dating a white man ???? We discuss the versions of colourism that are harder to identify day-to-day.
