Biracial Unicorns

In this episode we continue our series of May movies and look at the documentary Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools. Thanks to Juliette for the recommendation!

This documentary based on the book, Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools written by Dr. Monique W. Morris brilliantly documents the stigmatization and marginalization of black girls within the educational system. During our review, we discuss the impact of first-person accounts, cultural competence in educators, disproportional punishment, and the over-maturing of adolescent black girls. Throughout our conversation we also share our own experiences within the educational system and the added complexity of being mixed within those systems.

We end our episode with an ultra-delightful Happy Place, hint it’s the stuff of anime dreams and craftiness. As always, we want to know if you have watched or read Pushout, please let us know your thoughts – our information is down below. Stay safe out there, Unicorns.

In this episode we take a cursory glance into the world of "scientific" personality tests used by employers.

In our attempt to take on a “lighter” topic, we decide to answer and share personality tests! Personality tests have been utilized in many professional environments for years, but do they guarantee a happy work environment? As we share our personality test results, we also pose the question: who makes up these tests and are the personality types inclusive when it comes to race?

So, which Unicorn are you most like? Are you a Dani or Dameca?

The major ingredient of any recipe for fear is the unknown. And here are two characters about to partake of the meal: Ms. Dameca Brown, in England, and Ms. Dani Belvin, in New Mexico. And the third member of the party: a minisode topic, that has just landed a few hundred yards away. This person or thing is soon to be met. This is a podcast, but it is also a clearing in the shadows known as the Twilight Zone.

In this episode we explore the topic of intergenerational trauma with a specific look at racial trauma.

Trauma is real and it’s in your DNA?! Yes. This week we define and break down this theory of intergenerational trauma that has been gaining exposure. We focus on specific racial intergenerational trauma as we explain what it is, how is manifests, and the lasting affects it has not only on POC but white people as well. We also break into the genetic impact that trauma has on our DNA...prepare to be shook.

Our focus for this week’s show was not only about highlighting and informing people about this type of trauma but to share resources and tools to aid in the HEALING of intergenerational trauma. So, how to heal? Get some books!! There are some great reading materials that could help in a powerful way to find a starting place. Our resources (mentioned below) discuss the importance of harmony within your own family. This might involve family therapy, addressing past grievances, and forgiveness. We also share our desire--as POC--for our communities to unify. But what does that look like for mixed-race people?

Since we’re taking a break from Getting Mad at The Internet, we roll right into our Happy Place!! This week we enjoy basic delights!! Hint it’s all about the bergamot and loyalty?
