Black Girls Talk Back

No guests this episode, just a check in! The episode title says it all. I'm experiencing some fatigue and  trying to re-define my relationship with labor and rest. In this episode I discuss the ongoing pandemic, the change in weather, and what I'm currently reading, among other things. 

P.S. - I hope y'all are still wearing your masks and being COVID safe because the pandemic is NOT over. 

Happy Listening! 

This episode was by far the easiest to record. Harm is a true content connoisseur; she has provided me with an unbelievable amount of advice and support not only for this podcast but for all of my social media content. In this episode, you’ll hear us discuss what it takes to create quality content, cycles of creativity, and how we can support our friends' entrepreneurial endeavors! Happy Listening!

In this episode, I chat with my dear friend Joy Melody Woods. Joy is a current Ph.D. student at UT-Austin and is an all-around amazing person. We met last year in Texas at the Black Student-Athlete Summit and have kept in touch ever since.  This conversation is long because we had a LOT to talk about; from academia to Prime Time, to the panoramic, we covered it all! 

Also, my computer wasn't cooperating with me this day so not only will you hear random sounds at some point,  but I had to edit two Zoom recordings together ;) Enjoy!

 I couldn't publish anything new without addressing the 3 "I" words.  Between the white supremacist attack, the Inauguration, and the ongoing struggle, 2021 is getting off to a very rough start. I hope everyone has been taking it easy on themselves. 

Episode 4 is merely a check in. Don't be fooled by the title though, this week I talk (mostly) about setting goals and expressing gratitude. Take some time to chat with me about the importance and power of thanks, and how to set New Year's goals.  Happy listening!

In this episode, I talk to my friend and fellow NJ native, Sydney Massenberg. We had a lot to say about growing up in the Garden State, as well as the current state of the country. Needless to say, we couldn't have predicted what happened last Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol, and are eagerly waiting to see what happens moving forward. If you want to hear two Black women talk about our popular/unpopular NJ opinions, the 2016 election, and the impact of celebrities on American politics, tune in!

A few weeks ago I was scrolling on Twitter and saw something that struck a nerve - the existence of White privilege in this country is undeniable, and truthfully creates two different "Americas," one for White women, and one for Black women. In their America, being vocal about their oppression earns them positive labels and recognition of their courage, bravery, and strength. In our America, being vocal about our layered oppression, which they contribute to, earns us labels filled with negativity, including bitter, ugly, and my least favorite, angry. 

Why does our society demonize vocal Black women? 

In this episode, I chat about Serena Williams, Red Table Talk, and one of the many stereotypes America has assigned to Black women. 

Welcome! In this brief introductory episode, I talk about my podcast name, purpose, how trash 2020 has been, and why I'm revamping.
