We Gotta Talk About..‪.‬ caiteezy & mayalicious

Education is a super important topic and not necessarily one that isn't discussed, it's just always discussed within a certain space and amongst people who reap all the benefits of being educated. So...we're here to talk about the things that those people didn't experience. From the perspective of BIPOC who felt out of place, had students verbally attack them, and had teachers who were never invested in them.
On this episode we were able to talk with Nene and Ekene, the students behind Black in PUSD, an account which shares first hand accounts of racism in a school district in San Diego.
TW // during our interview with Black in PUSD Nene and Ekene discuss stories of being threatened by white students which may be triggering to Black folx.
Check out Nene and Ekene's page on IG @BlackinPUSD for stories of how racism has affected BIPOC in the Poway Unified School District. You can find their podcast, Culture Talk on your favorite podcast platform, and their website full of amazing resources at ethnucation.com.

People are wildin on the internet...
From attacking strangers for liking a different basketball team to girls being extra af on their friends posts to learning about racism for the first time social media is a crazy place to live half your life, but here we are. We spend so much time on a number of social media sites, but how do we actually engage with people and topics when we have the ability to hide behind our screens? It's a slippery slope and we're here to talk about it.

We gotta talk about women in sports. So many female athletes in the US can't even be professional athletes full time, get ripped apart by the media, and outright harassed by fans when they do something they don't like.
In this episode we talk about..The Williams sisters and growing up seeing Black women become household names in tennis. How media portray both female broadcasters and athletes. And growing up as women who love to watch professional sports and are expected to be experts just because we are not men.
