For this weeks episode, and the 2nd installment of MIND YOUR BUSINESS, we tackle the topic of toxic masculinity.

Toxic masculinity is the phenomenon where men suppress their emotions and use violence as an indicator of power.  Repression of feminine perceived acts always comes back in terms of violence to the individual in question or to those who present in femininely perceived ways. How does the intersection of Blackness and gender lead to a double consciousness? As people who are reared with expectations to take up masculinity, what are the intersections between being an oppressor and being oppressed by the same system.

EVEN MORE, we talk about the importance of vulnerability and the non-affordance of vulnerability to Black women in many social settings! Vulnerability is coming together, understanding what is happening to you, and being recognized for the words presented, which, is healing. TTYL XOXO
