In this weeks episode, we talk about the need for empathy in society. Are we lacking an ability to understand other perspectives, opinions and experiences? Are we too quick to condemn people and their points of view if we simply do not agree or understand? And is this lack of empathy contributing to the intense polarization we see in politics, race and identity relations today?

For this weeks Q.O.T.W we played a quick game of “we’re not really strangers”, check our Instagram story to join the conversation.

Apparently being black is only 'cool' if you're not black!

This week we're talking about the problematic issue behind blackfishing. YES, there are people out there pretending to be black for their convenience & NO, we're not here for it! Social media has become a breeding ground for celebrities, influencers and professionals to capitalise on impersonating racially ambiguous black women for clout or monetary gain and we are tired of seeing it!

This week we're talking stereotypes, more specifically the typecasting of black women and the effects it has on our everyday lives. Society just loves to categorise us and honestly, we have had enough of it! From the Jezebel to the Sapphire and now the supposedly the ‘liberating’ strong black women trope, all of these stereotypes have negative consequences for black women and contribute to the racism, sexism and microaggressions we experience daily. Join us this week as we breakdown the effects of these stereotypes and how we can work towards creating a space for black women to simply just exist! As always, keep it real, relevant and relatable!
