In this episode Ells and Lizzie discuss the three stereotypical tropes of Black women in media, which trope they feel they are seen as and why. They discuss the complexities and dimensions of womanhood that these tropes leave out and how dehumanizing it can be as these tropes are applied to black women in real life. Ells also tells the story of the great escape of Aslan (the cat). enjoy!
