Penda and Jillian Hervey of Lion Babe address this sound piece of advice given by Penda's mom when dating and having sex: "Think Like a White Girl". Listen as the two break down social and cultural barriers that allow white women to possess an intrinsic confidence with which they navigate sexual and romantic relationships, while black women haven't been allowed the same privilege-- an imbalance that persists because of the ways in which, historically, black women have been overtly fetishized and robbed of their sexual agency. Be sure to tune in to the second half of the episode when anonymous callers call in and ask for sex and dating advice!
