With Friends Like Those| The One with Olabimpe Shode

Inspired by the Shanquella Robinson Story: Episode 35 (2022)

Friendships have red flags too. They are not just for relationships. We can apply red flags in various aspects of our lives. — Olabimpe (2022)

For this week’s episode, My good friend Olabimpe and I speak about friendship.

As life is, there are highs, and there are lows. That’s how we begin the episode. We share our highs (roses) and lows (thorns) of the week. Let us know how your week has been so far; we love interacting with you.

So, about friendship. Our conversation today is inspired by the ongoing investigation into a 25-year-old woman (Shanquella Robinson) who was allegedly murdered while on vacation in Mexico. It is rumored that the friends she was on vacation with did it or may have something to do with this. Shocking right? The times we are living in. I asked about her first reactions upon hearing about this sad development, and Olabimpe’s reaction was anger. Mine was torn. The news brought me to tears.
