Happy Women's History Month and Disability Awareness Month!
As we segue from our previous, initial series on a month full of conversations around romantic Black love, we dive into Season Two, on Black SELF and Black woman love!
Don't get it twisted, loving yourself and a Black woman is romantic AF. However, in Series Two, we are truly going to take the time to celebrate Black women both now and then, and their limitless accomplishments amidst being deemed by society, at minimim, a trio of marginalized intersectionality.
Women are Superwomen, but that S on our chest might sometimes need to stand literally for Something Different Every Day. It might be Super, Soft, Super Soft, etc.
So in this second series we will also be deeply unpacking how to continue celebrating ourselves as a people beyond the short month of February (woohoo, we got an extra day this leap year ...) through the awareness of invisible disabilities. In the disability category, mental health challenges are often deemed unqualified by the greater population and especially within the Black community in terms of what disabled persons endure.
As two individuals with our own experiences, we discuss our personal challenges and how our community can heal through mental health awareness.
In this episode, we:
Close out the previous series by debunking, clarifying, and/or standing ten toes down on assumptions and insinuations surrounding the unpopular opinions we shared in Series One on women (and men) in dating and relationships.
Segue into making clear what Black women bring to the table.
Discuss how mental health affects the Black woman.
Unpack the intersections for Black women of mental health and relationships, expounding on what we expect, deal with, shouldn't deal with, and should avoid interpersonally.
Deliberate on what the Soft Life Era is and what it might look like for Black women.
How a Black woman's partner hurts or helps her become her best self.
And of course we share our thoughts on everything that may or may not be unpopular!
If you're looking for somewhere to be authentic, Black, and unpopularly opinionated, you've come to the right place.
Welcome to a safe space to be just that.
