      • Ep 58 Barbie, Men up, Hermoso
        TW Rape, Gender-based violence
        Ciao Everyone,
        What do the Barbie critics, the group rape case in Palermo, Italy and the unwanted kiss to Spanish football player Jenni Hermoso have as a common denominator? The patriarchal system. I share some thoughts and calls to action in this episode, especially to men, but no one is exempt.
        Let's fight the patriarchy!

      • EP 53 Migrants rights, Replacement, Dating

        Ciao Everyone,

        HAPPY NEW MONTH! We are back with a new episode. Italy has recently declared a state of emergency regarding immigration, but is that really the case?

        On April 28th with "Non Sulla Nostra Pelle" (not on our skin) migrants and workers led by the Migrants Movement in Naples, together with the Italian Antiracism Group took the streets of Rome to remind their existence and contribution to the Italian economy and to ensure legal permit to stay. Minister Lollobrigida has also been feeding the idea that there is a need for Italian babies to avoid an ethnic replacement *racismo. By sharing a little bit of my dating life, I explain why young Italian women maybe can't afford to make babies.

        Enjoy,

      About The Chronicles of A Black Italian Woman

      From the publisher's feed

      I am an awkward (cit. Issa Rae) Afroitalian from Brescia, near Milan, based now in Florence, Italy but I lived in Rome for the last 8 years. I lived in London and dreamt about the US as a kid. Through this podcast, I want to share the variety of the Black experience and more through different topics from pop culture to history, society, culture, faith, wellness etc... also with guests in the segment “Diasporahood”
