Point of Hue Ateira & Salimah

In this episode, we are using our platform to have conversations across lines of difference about the ongoing injustices and attacks against the black community. We are creating a space where people can process, listen, and learn.
 

Our DisruptHER Vena Wilson is a licensed clinical social worker and therapist. She joins us to provide support and answer questions for us and our listeners.


 

We are so excited to share with you the Season 3 Premiere of Point of Hue -- the podcast hosted by three women of color (Ateira, Salimah, and Natasha) and built to amplify the voices of WOC disrupting the status quo. And for the first time ever, this #POH episode is available as a podcast AND as a video! Season 3 is all about Surviving and Thriving --, especially during #ThatRona. That's why this episode is jam-packed with mental health tips and words of affirmation. (#LoveLanguages, anyone?) Also, tune in for some hilarious news headlines, some star-studded picture-sharing, and a #realtalk discussion about the inequities we see in society today -- even between women of color.

Ateira and Salimah are joined by teenage #DisruptHer and community organizer Zybreal Johnson, who shares her firsthand account of what REALLY happened in the Baltimore Uprising after the death of Freddie Gray. Plus, tune in to learn about one major challenge for young people trying to find jobs.

Ateira, Salimah, and #DisruptHer and Sex Educator Ashley Cunningham sit down for a candid conversation on sex and dating. Laugh at some terrible first date stories, learn about STDs and maternal mortality, and remind yourself to take care of your self-image and mental health.

Salimah and Ateira are joined by Kimberly Humphrey, Esq., ACLU of Maryland legislative counsel, who shares her wealth of knowledge about advocacy, allyship, and education funding. Tune in to hear a passionate discussion about the racist media portrayals of “riots” versus “protests,” a word of advice for non-Black allies, and an “is this real life” moment you won’t soon forget.
 
Note: This episode includes information about school funding in Maryland and recommendations from the Kirwan Commission. Since the episode was recorded, the Commission has delayed consideration of a new education funding formula. For more information and the ACLU of Maryland’s take on this issue, please refer to this article, to which Kimberly Humphrey contributed her expertise: https://www.aclu-md.org/en/news/increasing-education-funding-not-luxury.

In this sneak peek for Season 2, Ateira and Salimah discuss why it’s so important to talk about those things that no one wants to talk about. Plus, get a preview of some of the funniest topics covered in Season 2!
