Biracial Unicorns

In this episode we talk the MCU/Disney+ show, WandaVision. Spoilers through episode 7 (don't worry, Dameca hadn't seen episodes 8 and 9 so we didn't get too far into those).

We stand with our AAPI siblings. Please visit this list of Stop Asian Hate Resources to find out more about how you can help: https://linktr.ee/stopasianhateresources

In this bonusode, we debrief about last week's tragedy and share some frames for processing hate crimes.

We needed some time and space to process and as you'll hear, we're still struggling but we felt it is important for us to use whatever platform we have to drive dialogue and action around this. Coincidentally, today, March 24th, the day we recorded has been lifted as a Day of Solidarity for #stopasianhate (see more info below from the instagram @stopasianhate)

Many of us have been inspired by the protests against the ongoing wave of attacks targeting the Asian community but have been unable to attend in-person - this event allows us to show our support for the community from anywhere in the world and stand united against racism.

In the United States, over 3700 self-reported incidents of anti-Asian discrimination have been recorded since February 2020, over 10 a day. The US has also seen a 150% increase in hate crimes against Asian Americans despite overall hate crimes going down 7% with a disproportionate number targeting women.

The increased targeting has not been limited to the United States. In Vancouver, Canada, hate crimes against Asian-Canadians increased by 717%. 8 in 10 Asian-Australians have experienced instances of racism since 2020.

On March 16, 2021, 6 women of Asian descent were gunned down in #Atlanta, Georgia.

In this episode we talk sisterhood.

“I got all my sisters with me.”- Sister Sledge

It’s Women’s History Month, so for the month’s first of two episode on Sisterhood we’re cracking into BIPOC Sisterhood. This episode heavily references the Michella Obama podcast – Episode 5: The Gift of Girlfriends with Denielle, Sharon, and Kelly. This podcast is an action point of our March Toolkit. Make sure to reference our Instagram for a written copy or check out our bonus episode for the March Toolkit. In this episode we discuss:

This episode was leaving us feeling quite positive so of course we have to pause that with Dani and Dameca Get Mad at The World. This week’s topic: Why! Are! They! Still! #goldenglobessowhite!!!  We spend a brief time talking why we wish we could write off award shows but how they are still a necessary part of industry.

This week’s episode is a Unicorns at the Movies! We are reviewing the Kemp Powers movie, One Night in Miami, directed by Regina King. This particular movie is one of the action points of this month’s Toolkit (There’s still time to read up and participate in this month’s toolkit. All the information is located on our Instagram page @biracialunicorns).

We both enjoyed watching this fictional interpretation of true events that happened on the night of February 25th when a young and newest heavy weight champion of the world, Cassius Clay, the sports icon Jim Brown, the singing sensation Sam Cook, and civil rights activist Malcolm X spend a night together at the Hampton Hotel in Miami. This movie was beautifully directed and perfectly cast with the talents of Kingsley Ben-Adir, Eli Gorgee, Aldis Hodge, and Leslie Odom Jr. In this episode expect to hear:

We would love to hear your thoughts on One Night in Miami, so please feel free to reach out with your review OR if you have a movie in mind you’d like us to watch and review on the show, let us know (our information is down below).

In this episode, we also reference a previous Unicorns at the Movies episode about the film American Son. You can check it out at https://bit.ly/3ungZQb.

Alongside Unicorns at The Movies, we also have Dani and Dameca Get Mad at the World! And this week ties too perfectly with our Black History month theme. A Montessori school in Utah became news worth when the parents of the school requested their children opt out of the Black History Month curriculum this year…oh you’ll just have to listen to know how we REALLY felt about that.

We NEEDED something to end the show on a higher note after that last segment, and this week’s HAPPY PLACE will hopefully put you in a better mood. Hint* - Sometimes you need to spit hot fire and sometimes you got to cool off the internet.
