Sounds About White

We took another dive into the topic of privilege. We felt as though we only scratched the surface on our prior episode. 

One of the many things we appreciated about Black is King was the inclusiveness on display. From body shapes to the many shades of Black, Beyoncé made sure everyone was represented. We figured a great transition topic would be colorism.

"Have you watched 13th?" We took an episode to dissect and discuss Ava DuVernay's brilliant think-piece "13th." 

This week's conversation was about feminism that took some amazing twists and turns that somehow managed to stay right on topic. 

White women voted for 45 at alarming rates.  We dove into that and more in this discussion with special guest, Yesenia Guadalupe.

There’s some hoes in this house!” Have you listened to WAP yet? Even if you haven’t, you probably saw all the buzz around the song. Well, we wanna dive into that this week

Code-Switching. Is it a good or bad thing? When and where do we do it? Do we even recognize that we’re doing it?

There’s no question that media representation matters. Blacks are more than the help or slaves; we can be Olivia Pope and Black Panther – strong and powerful characters. Well, we are going to discuss the importance of representation not just with race. 

Our layout each week is to discuss a current event and then dive into the topic of the week. Rep. AOC spoke out and spoke up about being accosted by Rep. Ted Yoho. If you didn’t watch her speech, it’s definitely worthwhile. She showed no emotion and executed her point brilliantly. They always say women are too emotional, but we’ve got a guy in the White House who always showing emotion. We then discussed Defunding the Police. What's it mean? How does it effect us? 

We talked about how important implicit bias is and how it affects folks in different ways.
