Danielle Moodie talks with Dr. Yaba Blay, professor, activist, public speaker, producer and creator of Professional Black Girl – “a multi-platform digital community that celebrates the everyday, round-the-way culture of Black women and girls.” Danielle and Dr. Blay dive into the academic and creative journey that Yaba has seen - from confronting the persistence of respectability and internalized white supremacy within academia including HCBUs, to the evolution of her work and approach to fighting white supremacy, arriving at an essential turning point that centered her work and herself in Black joy, possibility, hope and affirmation. Even within the awesome work that Dr. Blay currently does, steeped in affirming and uplifting Blackness and black people in all of the small and big ways, she acknowledges the opportunities that come with her PhD title and is all too aware that this work that brings her and the community joy and fulfillment does not come without sacrifice.
