    The Epstein Files Prove Nice Girls Lose Under Fascism

    Even with the full list of names in the Epstein files released, we’ve seen no attempt to prosecute, interrogate, or investigate any potential culprits. We need to have a feminist/womanist critique of international law, international media, and the way they’re used to destroy the idea that any girl or woman can be a victim worthy of protection.

    Lessons From Italy on Anxiety

    This is a long overdue conversation on some of the cities and sites I visited in Italy. I also share how much this trip affected my self-esteem and mental health during a rough time in my career as a journalist.

    The Year Rihanna Twerked on Water

    Rihanna released the most-streamed album by a female artist in 2016. Rihanna tied Michael Jackson’s record for the most Top 5 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with said album in 2016. That same album became the first album by a Black woman to spend 500 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, only to be beaten nine years later. Most importantly, it became one of the blueprints for multi‐dimensional portrayals of Black women in global music.

    Why Do People Argue About Washing Meat?

    Thanksgiving's here, and the debate about whether to wash your turkey before cooking keeps coming up. I'm all for cleaning turkey, but I think we're missing the bigger picture of cultural practices and how scientific research gets communicated to different groups. This episode explores the nuances of food handling and food hygiene in the context of race and tradition, especially when considering why Black people are extra conscious about what they put into their bodies.

    The Laid Off to Content Creator Pipeline

    With everything going on in the federal government and economy, we’re seeing a rise in people sharing their layoff experiences on YouTube and TikTok. This made me wonder why this type of content is trending online, and whether it means this is a more profitable way to monetize content on YouTube (with the product being tears and vulnerability). Let me know if you think so in the comments! Subscribe to the newsletter or follow at: LinkedIn TikTok Pinterest

    Laid Off While Living Abroad

    In this episode we hear from a Black woman living in Spain who was unexpectedly laid off from her remote job — and we walk through the consequences few people talk about: losing employer-based health coverage, navigating unemployment while on a residence visa, and the practical steps she took to protect her livelihood and legal status. Whether you’re researching digital nomad visa countries, learning about living abroad as a black woman, or planning to move abroad for work or lifestyle reasons, this conversation offers concrete options, real-world documents, and the emotional truth behind the headlines.
