Small Axe Podcast | Growing Up in Jamaica as a Girl: My Feminist Journey 🌱🎙

In this video, I dive into the recent commencement speech by Harrison Butker that sparked a lot of controversy. Many found his comments to be demeaning to women, and I’ll be discussing why his words struck a nerve with so many people. However, amidst the backlash, there was one critical point he made that I believe is worth highlighting: the importance of having a supportive partner in life.

In this episode, I explore the significant yet under-discussed concept of "Weathering" and its impact on the health of Black women, highlighting the recent experiences of Dr. Claudine Gay and the late Dr. Candia Bailey. "Weathering" refers to the wear and tear on the body caused by prolonged exposure to stress and discrimination, leading to serious health consequences, but this bleeds into all aspects of every day life.

🔍 Understanding Weathering:

This phenomenon describes the cumulative effect of chronic stress from societal, economic, and racial challenges, particularly affecting the health of Black women. By examining the expriencese of Dr. Claudine Gay and Dr. Candia Bailey, we gain insights into the intersection of race, gender, and health.

✍🏽Moving Forward:

I discuss potential strategies for mitigating the impact of "Weathering" on individuals and communities, emphasizing the need for systemic change and increased awareness.
