This week we talk about the anti-Blackness that's been in headlines recently regarding the Olympics.
We talk about where this discourse is coming from — how is it that in 2021, Black women are still being excluded from womanhood? Who actually decides the definition of 'woman'? Is gender racial?
P.S. Follow up ends at 32 minutes this episode — it's a long one! So skip to there if you want to get straight into the topic.
