Several reports show that up to 300,000 (!) Black women are being forced out of the workforce as a result of Trump-era federal downsizing to agencies & departments where Black women are disproportionately represented. What are the short and long-term impacts of this workforce exodus? And how can we as Black women fight back?

Unfortunately, if you’re a woman on the internet—or you’re a woman in real life—you’ve had at least one unpleasant interaction with a member of “the Manosphere”. But what exactly is the Manosphere? Who are its primary members? And what does the Manosphere’s existence mean for women in real life?

In this new series, I am performing a deep-dive into the long-term impacts of generational poverty on families, women and girls, by using my personal life & the lives & stories of the women in my own family as a backdrop.

The “sassy man” of today is a cisgender heterosexual man who weaponizes feminist buzzwords in an effort to assert domination and control over modern women—women who now have the power of autonomy and choice. But why are we in a “sassy man apocalypse”? And how is this phenomena reflective of the changing power dynamics between men and women?

People of color (POC) who live in America (and abroad) are often extremely prejudiced and bigoted towards Black American people. This is especially evident among POC who emigrate to America, and even though they are American by naturalization, they are still just as anti-Black as racist White people are. But why is that?

Sooooooo the Catholic Church has a new pope! Pope Leo XIV (a/k/a Cardinal Robert Prevost) is the first American-born pontiff in history, having been born and raised in Chicago, Illinois (big ups to the Midwest). This historical moment, combined with my own upbringing as a preacher’s kid in a Jamaican household, made me think of the myriad ways that the 3 major Abrahamic religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—shape both women’s history and the progression (and regression) of women’s rights, especially here in America. What does Pope Leo XIV’s election mean for American women? How will Abrahamic religions, especially Christianity continue to impact women’s movements in the United States?

In this fiery episode, we dive headfirst into the oh-so-scandalous Shannon Sharpe sex abuse controversy. This isn’t just one man and one accusation. It’s about the centuries-old pattern of Black men caught in the crosshairs of hypermasculinity, public suspicion, white femininity, and Black men’s antipathy towards Black women. Enjoy! ☺️

Part 2 concludes this series focusing on the history of women’s rights in the U.S., this time delving into the history of Hispanic/Latina and Asian American women in particular.

Today’s episode is part one of a series focusing on the history of women’s rights in America. Part 1 revolves around Black and Native & Indigenous women’s history specifically, and how this unique history has impacted the mainstream feminist movements we see today.

Happy Women’s History Month! In today’s episode, we’re diving into a concept that is deeply familiar to many women: “the second shift”, a term coined by sociologist Arlie Hochschild in 1989. Enjoy! ❤️‍🔥🎙️
