Welcome, this is Multicultural Meanings: the segment where you learn about the terminology that pops up within your world and means the world to various cultures.
This episode uses a different take on our usual programming. Within this episode, I do not define a specific word rather multiple people come to define an experience.
In this episode, we have five short conversations where people define what Black History Month means to them and what being Black means to them. For this episode,
I am joined by Marcus Reaves, Keliya Perry, and Osei Akoto. Marcus Reaves and Keliya Perry both are seniors at Pepperdine University, Marcus is a Psychology major with a minor in International Studies and Keliya is a Journalism major as well as reporter and anchor for NewsWaves 32. Osei Akoto attends Hofstra University and is a Music Business major.
The episode ends with our classic outro.

The episode opens with an introduction that quickly defines "misogyny" to help provide insight into a portion of what misogynoir means. After that quick rundown of definitions, we then hop into a short conversation with Professor Angela Smith discussing her understanding of "misogynoir." Professor Angela Smith has taught at Pepperdine University since fall 2020. She has a Master of Social Work and works as an educator, licensed therapist, and entrepreneur.
The episode ends with a brief discussion of the history of the word "misogynoir," and how it affects Black women today, and how it has affected them in the past.

We open up with Pepperdine's general announcements of cultural club meetings and followed by general open events that everyone can participate in such as the Weisman Museum's Kinsey African American Art and History Collection and the Chinese Students and Scholar Association which will be hosting a Year of the Tiger Chinese New Year Gala on January 28th.

Finally, we end on international news coverage with Peru's arrest and legal inquiries into journalists that report negatively on the Peruvian Government, and civilian protest in Sudan to switch Sudan from being under military rule into a proper democracy under the people.

Perse Klopp is a sophomore Art History major at Pepperdine University and attends the International Program in Heidelberg, Germany.
The discussion ends with a quick explanation of the definition of these words and then briefly hop into the history, finding a word that describes a gender experience outside of the binary with a focus on the word “genderqueer.”
