Description
Black without the Magic was designed by Joya Peasant as a Girl Scouts Gold Award project. The host is Joya and co hosts are Eliza, Jamarri, and Tosin. The podcast is to address the lack of communication for black community issues and experiences, and is an outlet to gain understanding for the importance of communication on the issues in the community. Every situation does not have a magical solution, we would like to create an option to communicate these solutions to the community to improve their understanding about certain topics and issues, such as careers, college, division between Black and non-Black Americans, relationships and many other topics.

Joya, Tosin, and Eliza talk about the idea of peaceful protesting and how the issue can get violence and cause outrage from people. Eliza chose the topic so therefore she was the one to lead the idea. Joya brings in parallels from tv shows and movies that she has seen.
The girls talk about the meaning of the n-word and why they refuse to say it or have anyone say it to them. After that, they open up about the grief they had when other people say it in front of them and when other people say. Then Eliza, Tosin, and Joya come up with a word that people could say instead of using the n-word.
On this episode of Black without the Magic they talk about racial discrimination within one's job, whether College will or has prepared people for their field as someone who is Black, any sense of empowered in the workforce, and jobs associated with African Americans.
Through the rants and the side tracks minds of the girls they talk about the racebending of characters, they talk about if companies are profiting off of this or being lazy. They also talk about the Token Black character or the Black Best Friend, the new casting of Ariel and whether or not Prince Eric should be black or not.
The podcast starts off with Joya acknowledging the fact that she doesn't know much about colorism negatively because of the lightskin privilege she has, she listens to the stories of Tosin and Eliza and their experiences. Then they talk about where Colorism came from and stereotypes and where the team (Team Lightskin vs. Team Darkskin) come from and the forgotten Team Brownskin. Then they all have time to reflect upon this and think about how the people who benefit can help stop enforcing the harshness of Colorism.
