    Exploring Performative Blackness and Black Identity Within Black LGBTQ and Same Gender Loving Spaces

    This show, DMC and Jeff wrap up the “Performative” series with “Performative Blackness” having already covered Performative Masculinity and Performative Queerness.  We explore the concept of performative Blackness, discussing its historical roots, contemporary interpretations, and personal experiences with identity. Then delve into the expectations and stereotypes associated with being Black, the impact of social media, and the nuances of language within the Black community.  We touch on cultural appropriation and the challenges of explaining Black culture to others, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and reflection in navigating these complex topics. The dialogue also touches on interracial relationships and the societal expectations surrounding Black identity, ultimately emphasizing the importance of embracing one's authentic self without the need for performance. “Just… Acting Black” _______________________________ Takeaways:  Performative Blackness is a dynamic and socially constructed identity. Historical performances often relied on stereotypes and distorted representations. Contemporary Black performers use their art to resist racism and explore identity. Code-switching is a common experience for many black individuals in different spaces. Social media can amplify performative aspects of identity. Language and vernacular play a significant role in cultural expression. Cultural appropriation raises questions about appreciation versus exploitation. Proximity to Blackness can influence how individuals express their identity. Authenticity in Blackness can be a feeling rather than a definition. Navigating spaces of Blackness can vary based on comfort levels. Rejecting respectability politics is crucial for authenticity. Blackness is expansive and encompasses a wide range of experiences. Our Blackness does not need to be validated by others. ______________________________ Listen to Our Christmas 2025 Playlist: Happy Holidaze - A Playlist from Just Drawz The Podcast YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTzaf4yOmTtzbcOhWeiHAGEVtYuDLp7Nc Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4J3SYvmGGS1vT4t7KhFGpf?si=jvNvNOFXRxCP8CmRNZjVHg Apple Music:  https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/the-just-drawz-podcast-presents-happy-holidaze-vol-i-2025/pl.u-MDAWv8qTevJMem Spotify Exclusive Continuous Version: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1NdDczd0UySYCZAwz8kTN8?si=eb0b6b9527eb4fae _______________________________ Hosts: DMC: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kklothesminded/⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://x.com/DMCureton⁠⁠ https://linktr.ee/deeemcee Jeff: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jefflevelsup/⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.x.com/jefflevelsup/⁠⁠ https://linktr.ee/jefflevelsup _______________________________ Just Drawz on Social Media: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thejustdrawzpodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://linktr.ee/JustDrawz _______________________________ Edited and produced by:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jefflevelsup/⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠_______________________________ Music: "Neptunes" - by Black Assassin - ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/blk_assassin/⁠⁠ _______________________________ Keywords: performative Blackness, identity, cultural appropriation, social media, Black culture, activism, stereotypes, language, personal experiences, historical context, Cultural Identity, Blackness, Interracial Relationships, Authenticity, Shared Experiences, Cultural Practices, Identity, Race, Community Same gender loving, SGL, , , se, family, personal growth, self reflections, identity, self-perception, cultural differences , identity, personal growth, LGBTQIA+,LGBTQ, LGBTQIA, gay, Black gay men _______________________________ #JustDrawz #blackpodcast #blackpodcasters #spotify #applepodcasts #podcast #blackpodcaster #spotifypodcast #youtube #applepodcasts #youtubepodcast #gaypodcasts #LGBTpodcast #blackmen #blackgaymen #blackpodcastnetwork #gaymen #fypシ #selflove #personalgrowth #LGBTQIA  #gayconversations #queerissues #gayconversations #samegenderloving #SGL #authenticity

    Thanksgiving Super Sized Episode - Our Relationship with Food and Critiquing Social Media Motivation

    It’s Thanksgiving week, family! And we recorded an episode about food and our relationship with it. But the conversation took a little bit of a shift as we ended up talking about body image and social media. Let’s call it a ‘side’ to the entree of our main conversation.  This is an expanded show that runs a little bit longer than we normally go for one sitting but we think this dish is best served hot and complete.  _______________________________ Takeaways:  Social media can significantly impact self-image. Early food memories can affect what we like and don’t like as adults. Pound cake, peach cobbler, and banana pudding are soul food stables. Likes on social media can serve as a form of validation. There is a noticeable difference in engagement between innocent and provocative posts. People may seek motivation from the validation they receive online. Social media can create a cycle of seeking approval through likes. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for mental health awareness. Awareness of these patterns can lead to healthier social media habits. ______________________________ Listen to Our Summer 2025 Playlist: The Just Drawz Podcast Presents: Cheekz & Beatz Vol. I [Spring 2025] YouTube Music: ⁠https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTzaf4yOmTtwLZ43_C5MK5NDZtu49A_mg&si=qclBkWFenao4M9gU⁠ Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2dkJDkB8ekDK1Rc4s8bZtw?si=aec470a275b2490d⁠ Apple Music:  ⁠https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/the-just-drawz-podcast-presents-cheekz-beatz-vol-i/pl.u-MDAWvo6uevJMem⁠ _______________________________ Hosts: DMC: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kklothesminded/⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://x.com/DMCureton⁠⁠ https://linktr.ee/deeemcee Jeff: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jefflevelsup/⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.x.com/jefflevelsup/⁠⁠ https://linktr.ee/jefflevelsup _______________________________ Just Drawz on Social Media: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thejustdrawzpodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://linktr.ee/JustDrawz _______________________________ Edited and produced by:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jefflevelsup/⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠_______________________________ Music: "Neptunes" - by Black Assassin - ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/blk_assassin/⁠⁠ _______________________________ Keywords: Same gender loving, SGL, vulnerability, healing, self-discovery, toxic masculinity, emotional strength, mental health, LGBTQ+, black and brown men, chosen family, personal growth, masculinity, queerness, self reflections, self improvement, self love, success, influence, masculinity, vulnerability, identity, childhood, role models, shame, self-perception, cultural differences, mental health, family dynamics, colorism, queerness, support, legacy, relationships, identity, safe spaces, personal growth, LGBTQIA _______________________________ #JustDrawz #blackpodcast #blackpodcasters #spotify #applepodcasts #podcast #blackpodcaster #spotifypodcast #youtube #applepodcasts #youtubepodcast #gaypodcasts #LGBTpodcast #blackmen #blackgaymen #blackpodcastnetwork #gaymen #fypシ #fyp #fypシviralシfyp #selflove #success #masculinity #queerness #liberation #personalgrowth #healing #mentalhealth #lgbtq #LGBTQIA #gayfem #masc4masc #fem4fem #mascformasc #gayconversations #thirstrap #queerissues #masculinity #Thanksgiving #engagement #socialmedia #engagementfarming #gayconversations
