    Black Women Should Divest From Trans Movements

    Sharika Soal discusses why black women should disassociate from transgender advocacy. She argues they face high rates of violence from black men yet focus on transgender issues rather than their own safety.

    Divesting From The Toxic Black Family Member

    In this episode, Sharika discusses how the black family unit can often be a toxic environment. She advocates for black people, especially women, to "divest" or distance themselves from unsupportive family members who hold them back. Sharika shares her own experiences with toxic family dynamics and encourages listeners to prioritize their mental health and success over dysfunctional relationships, even with their mothers or close relatives.  Connect with Sharika:Twitter: @SharikaSoal84 (https://twitter.com/SharikaSoal84)Divested Diary Website (https://divesteddiary.com/)  Join the Movement at "Divested Diary: Empowering Women's Voices."Are you ready to make a difference?

Intrigued!

We’re waiting! I just learned about you through some of your articles. When can we expect the first episode?

Than you

You have given me some bit of hope that eventually this will improve though it may take 50 years.

Not what I was expecting

I thought she was going to be along the lines of Cynthia G or Paris Milan. Instead, she’s more like Candace Owens. She basically argues that racism and white supremacy are just figments of our collective imaginations at this point in society and that if you look and act a certain way as a black woman (i.e by adapting very “white”/Eurocentric standards of beauty and femininity) then you shouldn’t have any problems. I’m usually all for discussions supporting black women broadening their romantic options and “divesting,” but something about the host is off putting.
