Friends Over Followers

On this week’s episode, Ebony and Yonnas take a step back from rigor and research to check in with each other. Hear about how “My Little Pony” became a therapeutic tool for rest and reflection and the 9 year anniversary of Ebony’s Twitter dragging. The illusion of social media: followers vs. friends, influencers vs. leaders and why we want The Good Wife to sit down somewhere. In the second half of the show, Yonnas highlights the significance of the political consciousness of black people. Ebony goes straight doomsday. Yonnas offers a solution to afro pessimism and we discuss healing as the pathway to Black autonomy. Overall we agree that we want to be in community with people who are healed and healing and discuss the importance and accessibility of therapy for the folks in the movement.
