Episode 44: Thanksgiving Do’s and Don’ts – The Ultimate Survival Guide

In this episode of Talk to Me Michele, we’re dishing out the Thanksgiving rules everyone must follow to keep the holiday drama-free—or at least entertaining! From the must-have etiquette at Grandma’s house to the hilarious oh-no-they-didn’t moments that tend to go down at Black family gatherings, we’re serving the perfect recipe for a festive (and peaceful) holiday.

We’ll break down:

• Do’s: Show some respect to the chef, bring a dish (not just your appetite), and mind your business!
• Don’t: Don’t ask for takeout plates before the turkey’s carved, and don’t critique Auntie’s famous sweet potato pie.

Plus, we’ll share some funny examples of “code-switching” when the food isn’t quite up to par and dive into the unspoken (but real) rules about Thanksgiving guests, family tea, and those awkward singlehood questions.

 

Tune in for a fun, relatable, and insightful guide to surviving Thanksgiving with your family. It’s all love—just with a little side of humor!
