Episode 12: Morris Brown College

Title: Counseling, Crises & Cutting Corners

In this episode of Hillman Rewind, Nichole and DJ Diggy dive into the chaos of campus life when good intentions collide with finals pressure. Denise takes on a peer counseling role to dodge her own academic responsibilities—and it backfires fast. From juggling emotional labor to avoiding the inevitable, this episode brings all the lessons.

We unpack college study habits, boundaries, and the unspoken rules of campus beauty standards—yes, we’re talking about the scarf moment. Plus, we reflect on how we support others without losing ourselves, and how real growth means facing what we’re running from.

Episode 11: Florida A&M University

Title: Flirtation Flip: When the Game Gets Reversed

This week, we dive into a rarely explored angle—what happens when a woman makes the first move, and the guy isn’t into it? Dwayne gets unexpectedly pursued by classmate Peggy, and instead of honesty, he leans on a lie to escape the situation. Denise steps in to defend his right to have boundaries, and we talk all about emotional consent, reversed gender roles, and why honesty (with grace) still matters. We also explore dating older women, personal space, and what sisterhood looks like when your friend is in an uncomfortable spot.

🔁 We’re flipping the script—because vulnerability and boundaries aren’t just for one gender.

🎓 Hillman Homework: Have you ever had to turn someone down—or been turned down—and what did you learn from that experience? Or, tell us about a time you or a friend caught feelings for someone older. We want to hear your stories!

Title: Family, Gifts, and Grown-Up Shifts

This week on Hillman Rewind, Nichole and DJ Diggy dive into the grown-up moments that college doesn’t quite prepare you for— what it means to see our parents as full humans, not just caretakers — and the emotional maturity required when life hits differently. we’re unpacking how college forces us to grow up—emotionally, socially, and personally.

We talk adulting with parents, learning how to accept things you don’t agree with, and finding joy in unexpected friendships. Plus, we drop a few college-friendly gift exchange ideas to keep the spirit light.

🎓 Hillman Homework: When did it first hit you that your parents were just people, trying to figure things out too? Or… what’s the most thoughtful, funny, or cringeworthy college gift you ever gave (or got)?
