Part 1: On this episode of Fake Straight™, host xoxotanara chats with Lauren and Nathalie (@herandhergirlfriend/ @_fabulousnat), two dope Black women who found each other all the way in South Korea. Lauren had been caught up in messy situationships with men, but this time around, she wanted something real. Nathalie was vibin’ and enjoying her single life when she was drawn to Nathalie. Their love moved fast because they created a safe and nurturing vibe for each other.

They’re keeping it real about what it takes to make a relationship work: open communication, setting expectations, and learning from their eight-month "break-up-to-grow-up" phase, where they prioritized self-care and personal growth. We dive deep into the challenges of love, letting go, and leveling up individually as well as gender roles and showing up as your authentic self while still holding space for each other. Don't forget to tune in next week for Part 2 of Lauren and Nathalie's story!!
