Subtitle: Holding strange men accountable.

In this episode of Gem Droplet...

"Keep your dignity, ladies, especially black women. And try to find out as much as you can, because I tend to feel like because people know that black women are in a vulnerable state, in a vulnerable group, they think that we will just accept anything. And this is not just from men outside of the so-called black community, but this is from men within the so-called black community." - Cassundra. Stay vigilant, vet, and verify everyone.

Title: Nothing should be wrong with getting darker.

Subtitle: Black women should sun or tan regularly.

Final Show Link: https://anchor.fm/gemdroplet

In this episode of Gem Droplet...

" A lot of my family members specifically would tell me not to go out in the sun for too long.  There is a lot of miseducation on sun exposure, especially for black women and girls, people with deeper complexions and melanin. The sun is not harmful to most of us who have  Eumelanin and have richer, deeper skin tones. The people who get harmed by the sun are people who have little to no Eumelanin and fair complected people. there's a stigma around being in the sun for too long as a black person in general, specifically black girls.  If we're darker we're associated with being masculine." - Cassundra.

Title: Calling women, girls, and young ladies 'Female' solely is wrong.

Subtitle:

Final Show Link: https://anchor.fm/gemdroplet

In this episode of Gem Droplet,

I explain why calling women and girls 'Females' solely and continuously is wrong. The terminology strips us of our dignity, birthright, and individual full spectrum identities. I explain how cringe-worthy and incel -ISH 'females' sounds. Just because you have serial killer level hatred and bitterness in your heart for women, doesn't mean you have to infect others and spread it! We are not asking for worship but basic level human reference and decency.

Title: Black love is dead, Literally!

Subtitle: Down with black love.

Final Show Link: https://anchor.fm/gemdroplet

In this episode of Gem Droplet,

I define love, the different forms of love, and break down what black love really means. I have personally felt that black love is an insidious entrapment to keep black women and girls from self-exploration and happiness. Black love is an anchor that drags black women down into the depths of despair and destitution. I want women like myself to know that we have more options outside of blakistan and most importantly to vet all individuals who enter your life (no matter the characteristics). Love is racially anonymous, love is blind but most importantly it's conditional.

Title: You are supposed to cry, stop being so unbothered.

Subtitle:

Final Show Link: https://anchor.fm/gemdroplet

In this episode of Gem Droplet,

I discuss why I stopped liking the whole unbothered trope when you are actually hurting. I deep dive into my own experiences with embracing my vulnerability, which can go hand in hand with femininity. And I explain why crying is not automatically associated with weakness and how crying is healing and a superpower. I believe in some cases black women and girls could use this emotional aspect to reclaim their girlhood or womanhood to bring back balance, a birthright that is normally stripped from us at an early age.

In this episode of Gem Droplet,

I recently came across an article on Character Lab (which has some really great articles, it's becoming my favorite) and It felt like more than a coincidence. I have talked to myself since I was a child. And I personally don't see anything wrong with it. Talking to yourself is a strength, not a weakness. I will share the key benefits of talking to yourself.
