Ashley N Gen Rise Ashley Nifah

In this episode, Ashley is joined by her friend Olivia Kayes to explain the female gaze/why it matters. This is the first part of the conversation (there’s four parts) so make sure you keep your eyes peeled!!😵‍💫🍭👀❤️‍🔥

Celebrities. We know them. We love them—well, most of them. But how often do we think of them as regular people who just ✨happen✨ to be really good at their jobs (acting, singing, etc.)? Tune in as Ashley looks at how the paparazzi plays into the idea of celebrities being “above” everyone else and relates some of her (hopefully not so unique) experiences with this “god complex.”

In this episode, Ashley talks the coronavirus and its complicated relationship with nostalgia. We’ve all been missing the lives we led (or didn’t get to lead) before the pandemic hit....AND THAT’S OK!!! Ashley looks at Kaitlyn Tiffany’s, “Is that Nostalgia You’re Feeling?” from The Atlantic and Danielle Campoamor’s, “Why We Reach for Nostalgia in Times of Crisis” from The New York Times to really solidify that nostalgia doesn’t have to be a bad thing!!:)
