Sidekick Syndrome


Listen Later

This Black History Month, we're tackling a real-life supervillain: Sidekick Syndrome. You know the feeling – always the hype man, the wingwoman, the "sassy best friend" while your dreams and stories get pushed to the background. Girl, we ain't here for that!

This episode, we're talking about:

  • Melissa Harris-Perry and Sister Citizen to expose the stereotypes that keep Black women boxed in. ‍
  • Colonel Rhodes and Sam Wilson: Marvel's finest sidekicks, but what are they really saying?
  • Black Panther and Luke Cage: Blazing the trail for Black heroes who own their stories, flaws and all, and why they are so important.

But here's the real superpower: we are the storytellers. It's time to ditch the sidekick cape and step into the spotlight

This episode is a call to claim your power, rewrite your narrative, and become the hero of your own damn story.

So, hit play, and get ready to level up! Remember, with great podcast power comes great responsibility. Share this episode, spread the love, and let's rewrite the narrative, one Black story at a time.
