The Black Girl Bravado

Have you ever felt disappointed or upset when your favorite influencer or celebrity made a mistake? In today's digital age, it's easier than ever to form deep connections with people we've never met in person. Parasocial relationships, these one-sided bonds we develop with celebrities, influencers, or fictional characters, can be both rewarding and challenging.

In this episode we: 

  • Define parasocial relationships and explore the psychological factors that contribute to their formation
  • Discuss the positive and negative impacts of parasocial relationships
  • Provide tips on how to navigate parasocial relationships in a healthy and balanced way
