Tensions were high in the episode as the panellists locked horns and some threw shade at others. One could cut the tension with a knife when things got heated
Jackie Phamotse said she did not know who the other panellists were until they were in makeup.
“The males were very strong in what they believed in and because there were two females, you'll see when you watch the entire episode there's the last 15 minutes were where things get really rowdy because it's like you are undermining us.
“It was scary to see how much of ourselves we find in the other one and you are like damn ... but they were honest.”

“The one thing about Castle Milk Stout we've always been about inspiring people to really embrace who they are and know themselves and I think with Black Conversations its nothing different. Its really about knowing yourself, really digging deep and having conversations and sometimes even facing tough truths. I think as a brand we wanted to expand on that,” said Khensani Khombo, brand manager for Castle Milk Stout.
