On the social totem pole, Black grils & women are ranked dead last. Robbed of our youth, innocence, and autonomy, Black girls & women can never choose our race or gender first as we don't have that luxury. If you identify with this group, we're sure you've heard the phrase "stop acting grown" or "she's fast" or "go change, you're showing too much". From the jump, Black girls are not allowed to be children in comparison to our [other race] counterparts which bleeds into womanhood as we have to learn to mother our inner child and mend our relationship with sexuality. In this episode we explore the sexualization of Black girls and women starting with slavery, post-(legal)slavery stereotypes, the rise of hip hop, and where we stand today.

In this episode? EVERYTHING. We hope you all are taking care of yourselves mentally and taking given the state of the country. Our last episode was pretty loaded with sadness and anger - rightfully so. We decided to pivot this week and discuss something a little more light hearted yet informative. We discuss what our teenage selves thought we'd be doing, our love languages, and attachment style.

]]> The State of the Union The State of the Union Sun, 07 Jun 2020 18:34:35 GMT 51:35 AzE9z false https://read-the-room-podcast.sounder.fm/episode/the-state-of-the-union 63d9e8e3413cfe0011a8ebdb 63d9e8df6c9cde0011d8dbbf full 5 We're back - after a one week hiatus - with a new episode. Today we discuss the state of the union. From George Floyd to protesting to looting to the aftermath of the events of the last two weeks, we're tired of having to repeat ourselves but we're using this platform to speak on the things that matter.


The fight doesn't stop here, make sure to keep saying their names, seeking justice for those who are no longer here, and putting pressure on the system to change!
