    2025/12/15

    bougie, black + complicated
    2025/12/01
    We’re spilling the tea on Black elitism: what it is, how it’s different from Black excellence, and why wealth, status, and luxury don’t automatically equal liberation. From Martha’s Vineyard summers to Beyoncé and Jay-Z, HBCUs to Jack & Jill, we unpack history, culture, and nuance—because understanding Black success is more complicated than just who’s winning.

    forgiveness, power + redemption
    2025/11/03
    Who gets to grow — and who doesn’t? In this episode, we unpack the politics of forgiveness through pop culture, from Lily Allen’s West End Girl to Janet Jackson, Bill Clinton, and beyond. We explore how power, privilege, and identity shape who we choose to empathize with, and what true accountability might look like in a world that confuses redemption with justice.

    ugliness, bias + belief
    2025/10/20
    This conversation looks at the side of beauty we rarely say out loud — what it means to be seen as “unattractive” in a world obsessed with pretty privilege. From Da’Shaun L. Harrison’s Belly of the Beast to the backlash against Lena Dunham’s Girls, we unpack lookism, power, and why our relationship to beauty deserves more honesty.

  • Ayo Edebiri, Erasure + Progress

    Ayo Edebiri, Erasure + Progress
    2025/10/06
    What do we really mean when we talk about “political correctness” and “what we’ve lost”? In this episode, I dive into the viral interview moment where Ayo Edebiri was excluded from a heavy question on #MeToo, BLM and Hollywood. Together we’ll unpack the history of these movements, the way Black women are so often erased from the story, and how calls of “lost freedoms” often come from those who never had to share space before. From bell hooks to pop culture parallels, let’s sit with the nuance, ask whose voices are centered, and imagine what progress looks like when it’s for all of us.
