Foot On Yo’ Neck episodes

  • Ep. 47 Living and Grieving

    CW: death, dying

    At the beginning of 2024, we recorded and sent each other voice notes on the topic of grief. We start with a short intro to bridge into these recordings and end the episode with reflection about how our experiences of grief have changed over time, the significance of water and grief for Black people as descendants of enslaved Africans, and how we would like to be commemorated and remembered in time. Accompanied with sounds of the ocean, this is truly a one-of-a-kind Foot on Yo’ Neck episode.

    4. Ep 46: The Blacker The Berry, Venerating Violence on Thanksgiving, and Over-Intellectualizing Freedom

      What’s an outline? We still don’t know her. We're back with no outline again. Just talking where the wind takes us! This month we discuss the generative power of Blackness and how it has been perverted to vilify and subjugate Black peoples, particularly Women and children. We discuss purpose of Thanksgiving and we ponder if Black folks participation the holiday is in fact also venerating the  violence and genocide of Native peoples? In our renewed segment, “I Know Why the Choppa Sings” we empty the clip of all our gripes and dislikes about this past month, which was a shit show! As always, we close it out with our prophetic proclamations segment Put Yo’ Name On It.

      4. Ep. 45 A Good Ole Yap Session: Living Inside Albums, Knowing When To STFU & Ancestors Died for Our Voting Rights?

        What’s an outline? We don’t know her! We have officially accepted that we are both world class yappers and in this episode we riff and rap about it all!  Music and our favorite albums. We revive an old segment called “ I Know Why The Choppa SIngs,” where we air out our grievances. We celebrate the power of knowing when to shut up and when to yap, and we eventually dive into our weariness around all the political propaganda swirling around in times such as these. We also introduce our 2nd new segment “Message!” where we break down and critique an event from pop culture or the news.  And of course, we close it out with our prophetic proclamations with our segment Put Yo’ Name On It!

                    In this episode, we discuss ponder what does it mean to feel seen, to be seen, and how and where does that happen? We tussle with the questions of “Do Black Women have an obligation to see one another?” and “Do we really believe that we can see ourselves in every human being?”  EVERY human being!!!!…..Yikes idk y’all. And of course, we close it out with our prophetic proclamations with our closing segment Put Yo’ Name On It!

                      4. Ep. 41/S2.5E3: How To Kill The Kracka In Yo' Mind

                        In this episode, we discuss the diabolical and calculated ways that krackas (krackas = actors on behalf of the status quo and oppressive systems; racism, capitalism, whiteness, patriarchy, christianity, colonialism, etc.) seek to hinder our liberation and often recruit us to help them do so. To that we say f*ck no! Our minds and bodies belong to us and we are reclaiming em!! Join us as we discuss and dream up tools to resist participating in our own demise. How can we reaffirm our humanity and return to an ethic of love and care? How do we return to our authentic impulses? And how do you curate loving and caring community?

                            About Foot On Yo’ Neck

                            From the publisher's feed

                            Foot on Yo’ Neck is a podcast devoted to stirring dialogue that fortifies the well-being, livelihood, and imaginations of Black Women, all while talking just a lil bit of shit! Foot on Yo’ Neck was created in 2019 because we were tired of witnessing Black Women being disparaged in media and academia. This podcast is a sonic community that is rooted in the Black Womanist tradition of alternative world-building. Foot On Yo’ Neck is about applying pressure to all systems of power through expressing our collective truths and manifesting unyielding liberation.
