"Strong" Black Women and the Supreme Court

This week, we have a tight, candid conversation about the Superwoman Syndrome, the Strong Black Woman Schema and Actively Black, as well as medical speech and the Supreme Court.

Ahhh, some Black women are not here for the perennial weight of being superwomen, strong, or magical! We discuss the wildly popular athleisure clothing brand "Actively Black" and address a split opinion for and against their "Black Women are Superheroes Collection." Then, we touch upon SCOTUS’s pending birthright citizenship decision and their Chiles v. Salazar decision on state conversion therapy bans and medical-speech regulation. If this episode lands for you, share it, rate it, and tell a friend who needs to hear this conversation.
