Intro: Hello and hope you're doing well whenever you're seeing this, hearing this, or reading this. I'm your host, That Girl, Jenna Curacoa. I go Live on Facebook and Youtube Monday through Saturday 2323 (11:23PM). I'm on Blog Spot, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest.
Segment 1: Been reading comments from the most recent issue of CA Educator magazine August/September regarding the cover photo of their June/July issue, severely critiquing a rendition of Birth of Venus and Rosie The Riveter. Most posted comments are focused her looks and features. Can a woman not be simply a woman? It's also an animated depiction, but still. One quote: "Too bad an artist did not create an image of blended ethnic heritage to reflect the changing demographic of teachers in our population."
Segment 2: Health crisis plaguing our country. White women affected by infertility. Black women affected as well with several health concerns. Women need to approach one another differently. Empowerment starts with our choices, starting with our thoughts. Personal experience, coming from a mixed background and daughter with pale complexion and colored eyes, despite ethnic heritage. Bringing up that story Hair Love. It also depicts the health crisis plaguing everyone.
Segment 3: Film, Death Sentence. Great warning for retaliation and Potentially Becoming What You Detest. Our Thoughts also need to be held accountable even if no one else knows what you're thinking. It catches up to you, affects your overall health in long run. Ultimately, myself included, be careful where your thoughts lead you before you become the person you don't like.
