August has been a tough one for the Work Baes, with both of their anxiety on a thousand snd 2020 still not letting up 😟 This week on Work Bae, Naana and Obie tackle something that’s been plaguing our society for centuries … misogynoir. With a number of incidents that have happened over the last few weeks that directly affect Black women, we thought this was the best time to bring this conversation to the pod 🎙️ From Meg Thee Stallion having to defend herself after being shot by fellow rapper Tory Lanez, to the heinous attack on three trans women in Hollywood, and Kamala Harris’ blackness being brought into question. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of examples of misogynoir but our greater conversation is on how we can rid ourselves of this disease. If we really all we got then this needs to be something we all address 🖤👩🏿🖤
