Ep 79. Misogyny & Gendered Violence
In this episode we talk about gendered oppression. We name some of our experiences of gendered violence, as well as how living as women presents specific dangers for us. We talk about the way this has lead to negative experiences in our sexual encounters with men and how these experiences are linked to wider narratives regarding misogyny in society. Jade names the link between misogyny and her desire to distance herself from Keisha The Sket for so many years and we both discuss the unlearning required for us to work towards living freely as Black women in Britain.

Ep 78. Imposter Syndrome
In this weeks episode we talk about imposter syndrome and how it impacts our lives. Ez shares her experience of imposter syndrome in relation to her writing and Jade talks about the way it shows up for her in relationships. We highlight the way our identity as working class, Black women means that we struggle with both internal and external narratives about being imposters. Moreover, embodying these minoritised identities means we are often proponents of what Jade refers to as ‘DIY culture’, where we are innovators in our fields and this can add to feelings of being an imposter.
