Black Girl's Guide To ATL: CockTales Edition ft. Shanita @blackgirlsguideatl

Black Girl's Guide To ATL: CockTales Edition ft. Shanita @blackgirlsguideatl

Author: Kiki Said So & Medinah Monroe April 4, 2026 Duration: 1:22:19
This week, we’re outside (literally) with a real Atlanta insider. We’re joined by Shanita, the woman behind @blackgirlsguideatl, and she came through with the blueprint for actually enjoying this city—whether you’re dating, solo, or outside with your girls.

We kick things off with a round of I’m Curious to Know that gets a little personal (as usual), then get into everything Atlanta: where to go, what to do, and how to stop defaulting to the same tired dinner + drinks routine.

From Beltline staples and hidden gems to interactive date ideas, museums, wine tastings, and even where to meet quality men (yes… she gave real strategy), this episode is basically your Atlanta starter pack. We’re talking daytime vibes, girl dates, family-friendly options, and experiences that actually make dating fun again.

We also get into real conversation about confidence, self-worth, and dating from a place of abundance—not desperation. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or unsure where to start, this part is for you.

Plus, we highlight some incredible Black-owned businesses, local experiences, and upcoming events you need to add to your list ASAP.

Save this episode, share it with your group chat, and take notes—because Shanita did not come to play.

Grab a drink and get comfortable. CockTales: Dirty Discussions is that unfiltered conversation happening in the corner of your favorite bar, hosted by friends Kiki Said So and Medinah Monroe. With one navigating single life and the other rooted in a long-term relationship, their perspectives clash and complement in the most honest ways. This isn't a clinical advice show; it's a raw, comedic, and deeply personal journal of what modern dating, sex, and relationships actually feel like on the ground, specifically through the lens of life in Atlanta. Each episode feels like you’re pulling up a chair to their table as they dissect their latest encounters, frustrations, and triumphs with zero censorship. The laughter is genuine, the stories are real, and the discussions go to places most are too polite to mention. You’ll find this podcast lives in the messy, human intersection of society, culture, and personal revelation, all served with a hefty side of comedy. Tune in for the kind of candid talk that makes you nod in recognition, laugh out loud, and maybe even rethink your own approach to the complicated sea of love and connection.
