A Kid With a Pig Podcast

Teanna runs her own YouTube by the same name and she leverages her experiences and education in political science with me to unpack the concept of social & political movements, specifically the Black Femininity movement.

In this episode we unpack what the movement is, how we understand it's purpose and our concerns about it's impacts on our self worth and perception of self as black women.

I'm back and this week my friend Tanairy and I discuss the shenanigans surrounding these online dating coaches.

My friend Tanairy is a social worker originally from the Bronx. She really flexed her social worker skills by getting me to think broadly about the implications of dating coaches like Kevin Samuels and those similar like Derrick Jxn.

We unpack platform the popular dating coach, Kevin Samuels and discuss the demographic of women and men he caters to. This was truly a fun episode to record.

What does it mean to be high value in the context of dating?

Why do we listen to dating advice from people who have no context for our lives?

Should we be more sympathetic towards those seeking out advice from outside sources?

Mish joins me once again to discuss social media with me! Mish talks her experience navigating it in her every day life while I discuss my observations on the tech side of influencerdom (as a non-millionaire)

In this episode we discuss our different to social media, capitulating to the algorithm for success, the deification of popular and wealthy content creators, whether social media fuels narcissistic behaviors in people and whether or or not influencers such as Jordan Peterson and Kevin Samuels are creating cults of personality around themselves and their rhetoric.

Can your esteem needs, as dictated by Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, be met through social media?

Are you unknowingly subscribing to specific cults of personality?

My long time Tumblr friend Dzan and I discuss desirability politics for alternative black women. This topic was a very fun, yet unwieldy topic, so there will be a part 2 coming soon.

We unpack the concept of the alternative black woman, black desirability in both romantic and workplace contexts, palatable blackness, the AMBW phenomenon, & assumptions made about the race and type of people we're attracted to based on our interests.

My sister Agyakomah and I continue my initial thoughts on romantic partnerships. She gives some great insight on the parallels of navigating careers and relationships. We talk about the investing in the potential of a man (a la Issa of Insecure), settling in relationships and my sister's song "Left My Mark On You".

Is it possible to be fulfilled in life without a romantic partner?

Why should we lean into our singleness?

In the first part of this 2 part episode episode, I do a stream of consciousness of my thoughts on romance and the role in plays in my life. I talk my crushes growing up, my relationship to romance and men, and where & how I derive my sense of self-worth.

How would you define your relationship to romance?

How do you derive a sense of self-worth that tells us it should come from male validation?

Are you ambitious?

What are we aspiring towards?

Does social media fan the flames of hustle and grind culture?
