A BLACK GIRL A WHITE GIRL: Conversations with Tee-Ta & Tiffany Tee-Ta & Tiffany

Tee-Ta and Tiffany say farewell to A Black Girl A White Girl. Although the show will live on YouTube and Podcast channels, Tee-Ta and Tiffany share why they decided to finish recording episodes and what it means for them moving forward.

In 2018 Tee-Ta Walker and Tiffany Scott met at a business conference; during dinner, Tiffany asked Tee-Ta why a friend of hers (a woman of color) was upset when Tiffany said she didn’t see color, and from there, A Black Girl A White Girl was born.

3 seasons later, with life taking many twists and turns, Tee-Ta and Tiffany have been dedicated to bringing difficult conversations from behind closed doors in the hope that more women will feel empowered to bridge the gap between black and white people in America. To end unconscious bias and learn what it takes to be an ally, ultimately to end racism once and for all.

Both hugely grateful for the journey, Tee-Ta and Tiffany’s friendship remains as strong as ever, and they hope that for as long as the show remains on the web, more people can gain healing, insight, and courage to create unity between white and black people.

Thank you for being on this journey with us, and if you’ve just found us, we are still available at connect@ablackgirlawhitegirl.com

Show hosts Tee-Ta Walker and Tiffany Scott dissect a recent conversation where Tiffany brings attention to the managing partners (in a marketing agency she works with) about the clear lack of diversity in a company they merged with.

If you’re wondering how to be an ally in a workplace that isn’t proactive about diversity, then this episode may help you start the conversation that can lead to more equity, inclusion, and diversity for today and future generations to come. We hope!

Tee-Ta Walker and Tiffany Scott discuss the recent ‘conversations’ on social media about how Roe v Wade affects black women and how white women need a wake-up call. The conversation was honest and vulnerable.

Tiffany shared why some conversations were triggering for her, and Tee-Ta shared why the discussions were needed. Both their points of view touch on the sensitivities of a black girl and a white girl navigating an oppressive system at the core of women’s rights.

This raw and real episode shows the lens through which they each see the oppression and how to create more unity instead of divisiveness, so no matter what your skin color, we can overturn Roe v Wade once again.

Tee-Ta & Tiffany talked about Juneteenth, now a Federal Holiday. The official Day is June 19th. However, this year's observance is Monday, June 20th, 2022.

The ladies discussed why Juneteenth came about and why it is essential. You can watch or listen to why Juneteenth is necessary for our society and how to move forward in creating change for the betterment of all.

Additionally, Tee-Ta & Tiffany mentioned how Walmart missed the mark on 'not' capitalizing or exploiting Juneteenth. In this case, it was ice cream. And along with that, the ice cream was similar to Creamalicious Artisan Ice Cream (https://www.socreamalicious.com/) owned by a Black Woman. Walmart eventually removed the ice cream after receiving backlash. The question is, 'Were all the right people at the table?'

The ladies also gave some ideas of what you can do to celebrate Juneteenth. It is not just about a day off. Let's all work towards a better America by making changes to dismantle suppressive systems.

Here is an article on Juneteenth in the NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) HQ Newsletter for Members. It is an excellent resource https://bit.ly/3QvCUzQ.

Show Hosts Tee-Ta Walker and Tiffany Scott discuss a recent video that went viral of Senator Mallory McMorrow's address to congress regarding teaching actual historical facts in schools regarding slavery and other black histories.

The article link shared below is well worth the read. Tee-Ta and Tiffany read excerpts from the address, and Tee-Ta shares her thoughts about why "white, straight, Christian, married, suburban moms,' as McMorrow describes herself, are needed to help end systemic oppression and racism.

Based on Tee-Ta's insights, Tiffany seeks her advice about her current real-life dilemma at her gym and seeks Tee-Ta's advice on what to do. Another serious topic, yet Tee-Ta and Tiffany manage to still put a smile on your face with a black girl and a white girl stuff conversations!

It’s a heavy blow again to start Season 3 after the Buffalo murders. On our first show back for 2022, Tiffany asks Tee-Ta to share her feelings as a black woman living through yet another racist attack.

Tee-Ta Walker candidly shares her cycle of emotions and thoughts about a country that felt far too silent after 10 innocent black people were murdered and 3 injured in a supermarket by gunfire from a premeditated hate crime by Payton Gendron.

Tiffany Scott shares why it’s important for white people to listen to black people’s experiences, to have conversations about it, and remember that Black Lives Matter is not a trend that fades away with time. We always need to be allies, not just when it suits us.
