So, About That...

Black Experiences Off Script

Listen Later

In this episode of So, About That…, host Jordan Hora takes a deep dive into "Black Experiences Off Script" and what the 2025–2026 awards season unintentionally revealed about the way Black people are perceived, celebrated, and scrutinized.

From the Teyana Taylor/bodyguard Oscars incident to the "braids undone" comment at the BAFTAs and its aftermath, to the national conversation pitting Sinners against One Battle After Another, this awards season became a case study in how quickly public narratives can reinforce systems that leave Black people unprotected—even in moments of extraordinary achievement.
