This week I have the pleasure of talking with lawyer, activist, and writer Jennifer Blemur. Heavily involved with the DNC's and Women's Congressional Black Caucus initiative "A Seat at the Table", Jennifer is also a writer for our parter, 82Tabs of Policy. In this episode we dive in discussing everything from black excellence to representation of black women. In this episode we call out the problematic policy changes of our nation and how it effects communities of color and the role black women play in fighting black. Jennifer sheds light on the lack of black representation in media, culture and politics and how we need to start lifting up our communities. We wrestle with the issues of white feminism, discuss the idea of not seeing color, and what it takes to move from ally to advocate. We as black women are tired of carrying the baggage and we tell you how you can help. Jennifer and I get harsh, we get real, and we call out everything in this latest episode of More Than a Pretty Face*Warning this episode does use adult language*All (and by all I mean most) of the things plugged in this episode.
