Episode Synopsis

What does it really mean to be Black? In this episode, Stephen, Jewel, Ella, and Grace dive into the pressures, expectations, and stereotypes that come with Black identity. From the myth that "Black people don’t need therapy" to the idea that not fitting a certain mold makes you "whitewashed," we unpack the complexities of identity, code-switching, and the over-masculinization of Black women. We also debate whether the N-word should be banned and discuss why there’s no checklist for being Black. Plus, we read your reviews in Word on the Street and wrap up with Who’s on Aux, featuring "Glory" by Common. Tune in for real talk, honest reflections, and some laughs along the way.-----Follow on Instagram:The Black Experience Pod: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/theblackexperiencepod/⁠⁠Grace: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__4grace4__?igsh=OXkxNm55NnBoc3pq⁠⁠Jewel: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jewelajana?igsh=eGZhc3g3dTdzcmRl⁠⁠Ella: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kike.ovi?igsh=MXZiZ3dlcDM4eWx6Nw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr⁠⁠Stephen: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/fourthecreator?igsh=MXY1YXQzbGZ2bHlqbQ==⁠⁠————Intro Music by Erik Noha On Instagram: ⁠⁠instagram.com/eriknoha⁠⁠On YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVcwYHxLJOJFTLRBr0RloGw⁠⁠
