    The Strong Black Woman - Myth or Fact?

    The Strong Black Woman - Myth or Fact?

    How many times have we heard the expression 'Strong Black Woman'?  How long have black women felt bound by it, without ever really having a space to be vulnerable?  In the first episode of 2022, we attempt to unpack some of the complications derived from the problematic mantra and how it has impacted our own lives.  Take a listen if you're up for another candid conversation that centres on black women's experiences.

Every C’bbean woman should be listening!

G taught me a few years ago (I won’t say how many), back on the island of St. Vincent. She was and still is one of my favourite teachers; even after having gone through undergrad. I can definitely attest to her passion for her work and students as an educator and the UK is definitely blessed to have her!
This podcast is what every Caribbean woman should be listening to! It adds a much needed perspective on what migration, culture-shock and navigating within a new space can like for a number of us.
Keep up the great work ladies! I’ll be listening!!

-J. Young
