"My skin is black / My arms are long / My hair is woolly / My back is strong / Strong enough to take the pain / Inflicted again and again / What do they call me? / My name is Aunt Sarah."
— Nina Simone, "Four Women" (1966)
In this episode, I process the outcome of the Georgia primary and what the system revealed about itself. I claim my identity as the ancestor, as Harriet and Zora 2.0, as The General. I name the pivot: I'm putting focus on myself and my businesses, I'm done dating below my paygrade, and I'm done accepting crumbs.
And I expose Kim Kardashian's harm to Black culture, with verifiable sources.
This episode is titled "Four Women" after Nina Simone's 1966 song, a song that tells the stories of four Black women across history, each carrying the weight of different controlling images: Aunt Sarah (the Mammy), Saffronia (the Tragic Mulatta), Sweet Thing (the Jezebel), and Peaches (the Sapphire).
Nina Simone's song is a meditation on the ways Black women have been forced to carry the pain inflicted again and again. It's a song about survival, about strength, about the refusal to be broken.
And this episode is my meditation on what it means to be a Black woman in 2026, carrying the legacy of those four women, refusing the Sacrificial Bargain, and claiming my identity as the ancestor.
