Ep. 31: Rejection and Self-Empowerment
Manage episode 283340739 series 2859808
This week we get into a few things per usual. We start off by recognizing the vibe change of the country thus far into the new presidency. We refrained from the mention of any previous president . All positive vibes over here. Let's get into it.
Do you handle rejection well? Recently, a 31 year old Harlem woman was victimized seemingly by men with bruised egos. Its dangerous to be a woman. I know its dangerous to be all types of nationalities, races, and genders, but the conversation lends itself to discussing how women feel when being put on the spot by men. Navigating that situation so that you are leaving egos intact and being polite. It can be uncomfortable. It had me reminiscing about walking the mall and the Reject Hotline.
Yellow Bone, Red Bone, Light Skin...are these names for fairer skin blacks appropriate? We chat about empowering yourself and discussing limitations. Should there be disclaimers while patting yourself on the back. We discuss two specific examples. #DanaChanel who spoke of her accomplishments recently even while pregnant. #Danileigh who claims her #yellowbonesong was about embracing and empowering light skin girls.
Since this is the last episode of January, Tee updates us on her segment Smart Tee. Her strategy needs to be revamped for February but she's here for it.
