Welcome back! In this episode, we dive into three important topics that are currently making headlines and impacting our communities.
Topic 1: Ukraine and Russia Conflict
We start off by discussing the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. We highlight the blatant anti-Blackness and discrimination that has been observed in the media coverage and public discourse surrounding the war. From insensitive comments by news anchors to the differential treatment of refugees based on their skin color, we shed light on the disturbing realities faced by people of color in times of crisis.
Topic 2: Colorism
Moving on to the topic of colorism, we delve into the harmful effects of colorism within our own communities. We share examples of colorist remarks made by public figures and discuss the importance of calling out and addressing colorism whenever it arises. We emphasize the need for unity and support among Black women to combat colorism and promote inclusivity and diversity.
Topic 3: Celebrating Black Women-Owned Businesses
In honor of Women's History Month, we highlight several Black women-owned businesses that are making waves in the entrepreneurial world. From a spice shop in D.C. to a wellness center in Harlem, we showcase the creativity and resilience of Black women entrepreneurs. We encourage our listeners to support these businesses and uplift Black women in their endeavors.
