In today’s episode, we chat a bit about who we are, why we do what we do, and why we do it together. We also get into Love Island’s Olandria & Chelley’s sisterhood in the villa. We discuss community, Black women’s vulnerability, the Strong Black Woman schema and the cost of not performing as strong Black women.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.Follow Us on IG: @teaandtheorypodcatFollow Us on TikTok: @teaandtheorypodcastListen to Us on all streaming platforms!*Links to articles referenced during the show:Love Island USA’s Olandria and Chelley Talk Mean Girl Allegations and Makeup Mishaps (Ishmael, 2025)https://www.teenvogue.com/story/love-island-usas-olandria-and-chelley-talk-mean-girl-allegations-and-makeup-mishapsIn Their Own Words: The Meaning of the Strong Black Woman Schema among Black U.S. College Women (Jones, Harris, & Reynolds, 2020)https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-020-01170-wAdvancing Toward the Psychology of Black Women: Honoring the Past, Present, and Future (Jones & Lewis, 2025)https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02703149.2025.2523171Superwoman schema: African American women's views on stress, strength, and health (Woods-Giscombé, 2010)https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1049732310361892?casa_token=ULiaeXncOeUAAAAA:pO0GmiDmEegQ7oKSE6OfejqSWoM8GP8mUapXBG79zk_T-K-KCm-N0Smn7RvK7OF7_Oh-SNjMksN7zQ*Note regarding the references for the episode: We recognize that some of these articles/links may not be completely accessible due to paywalls (boo, capitalism!!!)
