The Slayyyleste Show

Colorism is systemic. It cannot and should not be reduced to your "feelings". Coming off of the heels of Donald Trump's presidency and this general culture of thinking it's ok to say bizarre and contentious things just because, colorism shouldn't ever be used as clickbait for your views, likes, and social media engagement. It is real. It is painful. It causes irreparable damage. When you discuss colorism, please show deference.

On the eve of Kamala Harris being sworn in as our new vice president of the United States of America, I've continuously felt the need to speak about protecting black women, and especially black women who live their lives in the public realm. As black women continue to ascend into increasingly public roles and positions, the attacks on them will amplify. Tune in as I discuss why it is necessary to protect black women and why black women should always prioritize their mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Welcome back guys!!! In episode three, we dive into colorism, texturism, and black hair.

The Kardashian/Jenners have solidified their place in the realm of reality TV, and more importantly within the mainstream pop culture lexicon. How did they do this and is their business plan a model that can be implemented by women of color? What role did privilege and capitalism play in their ability to be successful? Tune in as we dive into this discussion!!!

Emma, Whitney, and I sit down to discuss the damage that Robert Kelly has inflicted on his victims and the general culture of sexual violence and trauma that we continue to see ignored and tossed aside. Rape culture has allowed Robert Kelly to abuse black women and girls uninterrupted for over twenty years. Time's up. And if you are an R. Kelly apologist, then this podcast aint for you. PERIOD.

We've all watched the saga that has been the whirlwind marriage and relationship of Cardi B and Offset. We've seen the very public highs, we've seen the very public lows. We all watched as Cardi announced via Instagram that their relationship was over and subsequently endured a flurry of backlash for presumably ending their relationship. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about the trends we see in celebrity relationships and how the women in these relationship are often unfairly and unequally criticized compared to their male counterparts. Enjoy!!!

Continuing on with the major theme of capitalism and how it complicates our lived experiences, this episode continues the conversation about cultural appropriation and capitalism by focusing specifically on music and the music industry.
