In today’s episode, we discuss a scene from a recent episode of Married To Medicine, a reality TV show set in Atlanta, Georgia, which follows the lives of women who are either doctors or the wives of doctors. In this scene, Dr. Simone Whitmore, a successful board-certified OBGYN, discusses her sons’ finances over dinner. This conversation quickly turns into a heated debate about entitlement, privilege, and financial responsibility. We unpack this topic using research on strong Black womanhood, gendered racial socialization, privilege/disenfranchisement, and overcorrection psychology.Tea & Theory podcast is where real conversations meet real research. Each week, we sip and chat about the topics we’re already unpacking in our everyday lives, from the unserious, hilarious, and messy to the healing, validating, and comforting— we’re talking about it all! This ain’t therapy but Tea & Theory is in session! So, grab your favorite cup of tea (or any other beverage, we ain’t judging!) and join us on the couch.
