Episode Synopsis

In the latest episode of Seated with Strangers, hosts Alma Rojas, Sonja Williams and Sherita Bolden come together to discuss the culture of friendships. In this episode of Seated with Strangers, our guest delves into the debate about whether friendship requires similarities in crucial areas. While the hosts acknowledge the importance of having like-minded friends in certain aspects, they also discuss the potential limitations that can arise when friends have different mindsets or goals. They suggest that while casual acquaintances can have differing beliefs, close friendships may benefit from shared values and aspirations.

On the Episode the group explores:

How do we manage challenges or conflicts in our friendships due to cultural misunderstandings and how do we resolve them?


Do we need to let go that our friend’s life choices doesn’t have to mirror our choices?


Having a combination of weak ties and close friends is beneficial.
