  • What is Cancel Culture Anyway?

    In this episode we take a look at Cancel Culture.

    May’s toolkit is putting these Unicorns to work! Cancel Culture, a challenging, divisive, and ever-increasing relevant topic in today’s world. If you occupy any presences on social media or watch the news this hot button topic has taken its share of space. So, we are breaking down this topic starting from its origin and purpose, to questioning its very existence.    

    As we research and simultaneously sort where we stand with cancel culture ourselves, we invite you to join the process. On the podcast you’ll hear us discuss:
     
    ·      The historical trace of the literal term of Cancelled, and Cancel Culture
    ·      Is there a true definition of cancel culture?
    ·      An exploration of different types and/or levels of cancellation
    ·      The comparisons between cancellation, boycotting, and protest
    ·      The conservative and political use/misuse of cancellation
    ·      Is cancel culture even real? Is it impactful?
    ·      The correlation between performative activism and its relationship to cancel culture as we discuss the article The Sleep Walking White Ally by Jasmine M. Pulido
    ·      The importance of self-examination when it comes moral, political, public and personal stance
     
    Make sure to join us next week where we continue this topic by examining cases of cancellation and workshopping through the process of self-examination, boundaries, and actions of accountability.
     
    _ _We make a pit stop at one of our favorite segments -Dani and Dameca Get Mad At The World, where we ask the importance questions we’re all dying to ask…why is Elon Musk hosting SNL?
     
    We wine down our show in our Happy Place, *HINT- It was a dark and stormy night in a melanated future.

  • Working in PWIs

    Finishing off the April Toolkit we continue discussing PWIs but this week we’re talking about Professional (workplace) PWIs. We begin by chatting about the overlapping similarities between Academic and professional predominantly white institutions. Throughout the podcast we combat the white supremacy structure that American capitalism was built upon and the lasting effect on BIPOC in the workplace. Articles mentioned in this week’s episode:

    In this episode we will dive into:

    ·      The emotional impact of Affirmative Action on BIPOC in the workplace.
    ·      The correlation of white supremacy and toxic work environments.
    ·      The relationship between white supremacy and capitalism.
    ·      How the hiring of (a few) BIPOC does NOT change the root issue of racism in the workplace.
    ·      Diversity training should not always fall upon the shoulders of your BIPOC coworkers.
    ·      We walk through the article from this month’s toolkit, The Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture from Dismantling Racism: A Workbook for Social Change Groups, by Kenneth Jones and Tema Okun
    ·      The challenges of calling out racism, microaggressions, and racial biases in the workplace verse the Academic sitting.
    ·      What about being mixed race in a PWI?
    ·      What are some ways to thrive in PWIs for BIOPC and Unicorns?
    ·      How can our co-conspirators put activism in action in the workplace?
     
    We delightfully end in our Happy Place this week, hint*- You find out how we really feel about peanuts and what to do with Unsolved Mysteries withdrawal.

  • I Will Survive...PWIs

    In this episode we take a look at predominantly white institutions (PWIs) in the education world.

    New month, new Toolkit! This month we’re sharing our experiences with predominately white institutions (PWIs). This month we are going to be breaking PWIs into two parts: the beginning of the month we will be discussing Academic PWIs and the second half of the month we’ll dive into professional PWIs. Our goal with this topic will be for Unicorns to have a place of refuge, feel seen and hopefully acquire some techniques in order to thrive in these spaces. We also desire our co-conspirator’s to not only be aware of these predominately white spaces but how to take action towards meaningful and sustainable inclusivity. In this episode you will hear:

     

    • What is a PWI?
    • Why are we talking about them?
    • Being part of the majority is a privilege.
    • PWIs impact on an Academic environment which includes
    • Curriculum
    • Staffing
    • Mentorship
    • Discussion on one of April Toolkit’s articles: Your Predominantly White Organization (Yes, Even Yours) is Exactly One Live- Tweeted Racist Event Away from Public Disgrace.
    • The emotional impact on students of color in Academic PWIs.
    • Are HBCUs (Historical Black Colleges and Universities) the solution to PWIs?
    • How can POC cope in these PWIs?
    • A brief discussion on the “Watch” portion of April’s Toolkit: Blurred Lines: A Documentary on the Declining Differences Between Historically Black Colleges & Universities in Today’s Society. 

      • This week we decided to skip Getting Mad at The World and go straight to our Happy Place!!

      Hint - kitchen top appliances and Asian market surprises really are the simple pleasures in life.
       
      Make sure you check-out our Instagram page for the complete list of all of April’s Toolkit items, and as always, we’d appreciate your feedback! Our information on how to contact us is listed down below.
