Today’s guest on Women of Candor is Charmaine Christie-Primo. Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Charmaine leads a multifaceted life as a mother, engineer, standup comedian, and co-host of the online talk show Ndeipi MuDiaspora.
In this episode, host Sydney Plant talks with Charmaine about what it was like to grow up "hood" in mostly-white Montreal, Canada, and how she adjusted to life in the U.S. Charmaine shares her transformation from “Charmaine 1.0” to “Charmaine 2.0” and finally to “Charmaine 3.0”. It’s a journey where she gradually came to realize that living life hiding parts of herself as a Black woman is no way to live, even in a society where people of color are still experiencing significant challenges in their day-to-day lives. Listen in as Charmaine reflects on what helped her overcome her insecurities and embrace authenticity to live life more truthfully, all the while paving the way for her growing family—starting with her new son—to weather the realities around race relations in today’s America.
Follow Christie-Primo at:Today's guest on Women of Candor is Wendy Harmon, pastor, speaker, wife, and mother of two.
In this episode, host Sydney Plant speaks with Wendy about the unfortunate need for today's black and brown Americans to adhere to what she calls "respectability politics." She begins the conversation by relating her experience in dealing with a violent encounter that her son Levi once had at school. In particular, she talks about the tiptoeing that, as a black mom, she had to endure when confronting the school's authorities about the incident. This was one of the most extreme situations in which Wendy was faced with "the perils of being a non-angry black woman," but it surely wasn't the first or the last. And, sadly, her experience pales in comparison to the (sometimes, too often, fatal) challenges that many other blacks have to endure day-by-day in modern America.
