Monuments to Me

The discussions on this show have been really helpful both in relating to different life experiences and for applying learnings within life in general. Tyi and Akilah lead insightful conversations on topics relevant to current events.

I want to share my appreciation for the space created on this podcast as someone who falls into the “those who love Black women” group. The episode on self care literally made me slow down and actually ask myself what I need. And there is an innovative energy that comes from this show’s centering of Black women’s perspectives, in particular considering the episodes that highlight how Black women engage political self-determination. I’m excited to see where this podcast goes next.

Although I enjoy this podcast I feel that the hosts don’t allow the guests to complete their thoughts or answers when questioned. They constantly interrupt and talk about themselves. I would give a higher rating but the interruption by the hosts while the guest is speaking is annoying.

Akilah and Tyi are joined each week by amazing women and together they share their stories as we would a meal with friends. They let us peek into their lives while they share their dream for black women. I feel fortunate they’ve allowed us into their space.
