May 29, 2020 #27: White Girl Energy with Cassia Marina
Is “white girl energy” a thing? In this episode, TFS host - Jhalisa John, is joined by Cassia Marina to discuss white privilege, colonialism, racism and self-esteem in business.
The pair present the many advantages of being white in business, and contrast it against the many challenges black women are facing.
White girl energy is NOT so much so a rant, as it is a way of digging deep within ourselves to ask the very uncomfortable question, “If the color of my skin or the texture of my hair didn’t matter, would I still be afraid to do *INSERT THING THAT SOCIETY SAYS YOU CAN’T DO*?”
It’s a way of shifting your mindset so that you no longer feel limited with what you can do.
