In this episode of Diaspora Diaries, we spoke all about internalised misogyny. Stephanie and Nadia discuss their personal experiences with internalised misogyny, exploring how it manifests in women's lives with an exemplative list. They also touch on how internalized misogyny intersects with race, diaspora experiences, and societal expectations. The conversation aims to unpack and understand the complex ways women internalize and perpetuate misogynistic attitudes. It must be premised, that these are their personal understandings of internalised misogyny, and they are still currently navigating this! Feel free to share your opinions (with love, of course!) <3
