On Season 12, Episode 7 of the #CareFreeBlackGirl Podcast, we’re talking about everything happening in Black pop culture, sports, entertainment, and the summer social scene. #CareFreeBlackGirl of the Week: Zendaya is having a major year, and we’re talking about her growing Hollywood power, Black women being paid their worth, representation in fantasy and fiction, and the value Black women bring to storytelling. GURL: Angel Reese just got her very own Barbie! We’re talking about what this moment means for young Black girls and why women athletes have become some of today’s biggest cultural influencers. We’re also getting into Brittney Griner’s divorce and asking whether privacy is the ultimate luxury when you’re famous, plus the conversation surrounding Tomi Adeyemi and Children of Blood and Bone. And of course, we couldn’t leave without To Be or Not To Be and a chaotic F*ck, Marry, Heal — Sports Edition.

This week we’re celebrating history while side-eyeing the nonsense. We spotlight Qween Jean becoming the first openly Black transgender woman to win a Tony Award for Best Costume Design for Cats: The Jellicle Ball and discuss what it means to see ballroom culture centered on Broadway with icons like Leiomy Maldonado and Chasity Moore helping bring the culture to life. Then we get into the ongoing attacks on Black women and trans women after comments targeting Michelle Obama and anti-trans rhetoric making headlines during Pride Month. Who gets harmed when people start policing what womanhood looks like? And why are Black women and trans women so often caught in the crossfire? Plus, our favorite game returns: To Be or Not To Be, where we’re choosing sides on summer flings, girls trips, exes, rosters, jumping into homegirl fights, and all the hot-girl chaos the season has to offer.
