Send us a text

What is the stereotype of the strong Black woman and how does it show up in every day life?
In this episode, Whitney is joined by fellow podcast hostess Julia Washington to discuss the portrayal of Black women in media and the tropes or stereotypical roles that Black women are assigned, the challenges this raises and the impact it can have in the life of a woman.
The conversation covers scenes from the comedy drama Amazon Prime Original TV series "Harlem" that highlight the struggles faced by Black women in healthcare settings and the workplace. They also touch on data from the Georgetown Law study "Girlhood Interrupted: The Erasure of Black Girls' Childhood" discussing the adultification of Black girls and the disproportionate burden of diversity, equity, and inclusion work falling on Black women in corporate environments.
Join Whitney and Julia as they explore these important topics and share their personal experiences and insights.
