KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Visibility Always Comes With a Cost: Angel Reese, Misogynoir, and the WNBA’s Big MomentI’m not a sports girl (Though I’m definitely cosplaying one until OKC wins the NBA finals. OKLAHOMA STAND UP!). I am, however, a culture girl, and Angel Reese is at the center of a years-long cultural firestorm that reveals just how little has changed for Black women in the public eye.The latest incident? A hard foul from Caitlin Clark during a heated WNBA matchup. Both women brushed it off as a “basketball play.” But online, things unraveled fast — Reese was booed, dragged, and reportedly subjected to racial abuse. The WNBA is investigating, but for th...2025-05-2332 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Can Hasan Piker Save the Democrats, or Is He Just a Hot Distraction?Hey y’all,Today I’m digging into the sudden mainstream interest in Hasan Piker—Twitch streamer, political commentator, and, apparently, the internet’s best hope for pulling young men back from the clutches of the far right.If that sounds dramatic, it’s because it is.Since the 2024 election, Democratic-aligned strategists and media have been scrambling to understand one thing: why did young men swing so hard toward Donald Trump? In 2020, Trump lost young men by 15 points. In 2024, he won them by 14. That’s a nearly 30-point seismic shift.Now, suddenly, Ha...2025-05-1240 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜The 2025 Met Gala Was an Impressive Yet Utterly Unsatisfying SpectacleHey y’all,It’s been a few days since the first Monday in May, and you know what that means: it’s Met Gala time. The midnight blue carpet is rolled up, the press photos are in, and the takes (wipes brow) have been flying. So now that I’ve sat with it, watched the livestream, read the commentary, and revisited the standout looks, I have something to say.This year’s theme celebrated Black dandyism and was inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diaspo...2025-05-0932 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Will We Still Want to Think Hard After AI Makes Everything Easy?Hey friends!The other day, one of y'all asked me a question that I'm finally ready to answer: Kim, don’t you feel like you’re cheating when you use ChatGPT? And you know what? I don’t. While it's a fair question that we should consider (Especially if you’re still in school! Don’t get caught up!), I’m not sure if that’s the most pressing question we’re currently facing in modern AI-enabled times. The question that keeps me up at night—is: what happens to our desire to think de...2025-05-0528 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Why Donald Trump Won't Be Able to Bribe American Women Into Having More BabiesHey y'all,Recently, reports surfaced that Trump allies are tossing out ideas like a $5,000 baby bonus for new mothers, quotas for married applicants in prestigious programs like Fulbright, and even menstrual cycle tracking initiatives to "help" women conceive. (Because nothing says freedom like the government monitoring your uterus.)Let me be clear: there is no amount of one-time cash, no quota system, no empty appeals to "family values" that can paper over the deeper problems steering American women away from motherhood. And that's not just about vibes or personal preferences. It's...2025-04-2640 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜The Girls Are Tired of Celebrity Feminists Playing In Our Faces!Happy Monday, y’all!Maybe we need to rethink popular use of the term “historic” because every time I see the much-maligned all-women Blue Origin space flight referred to as that, I want to scream. Thanks for reading Kimberly Nicole Foster's Newsletter! This post is public so feel free to share it.Shouldn’t a “historic” event mean something to someone other than those who stand to profit from it?In this episode, I break down the widespread backlash to Katy Perry and friends’ space ride and why it marks a...2025-04-2232 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Romance Has Become a Luxury in Today’s Toxic Dating CultureHey y’all!Love, real love, the hand-holding, eye-gazing, soul-edifying kind, has become a luxury good.Today’s podcast is my first crack at contending with that. After a wondrous spring weekend spent bopping around Dallas, basking in the glow of shared affection, I logged onto social media to see Black women arguing about the merits of spending almost a quarter of the median US worker’s annual income on a dating coach.Source: Shirley Vernae @ TikTokPersonally, I don’t see the problem, but I understand the anxiety. People...2025-04-1725 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Reckoning With the Rise, Power, & Genius of Taylor SwiftHey y’all,I've spent years windmilling in comment sections defending Taylor Swift against what I’m dubbing "Taylor Derangement Syndrome" (TDS), the knee-jerk refusal to acknowledge Swift’s excellence as a songwriter, strategist, and marketer. To be clear: I'm not a Swift stan. In fact, I generally hate Swift stans, but there's something remarkable in Swift's trajectory that deserves serious cultural analysis beyond the simplistic "overrated white girl" dismissals.This is my attempt reckon with her legacy while working my way through Kevin Evers’ There's Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius o...2025-04-1248 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Mark Zuckerberg’s Cowardice Built the Internet’s Worst EraHey y’all!We’ve been sold a romantic idea that becoming extremely rich gives you freedom—that with enough money, you can finally say “f*** you” to the systems that restrain the masses. But watching people like Mark Zuckerberg (estimated net worth $207B) move through the world, pleading their case in pursuit of the goodwill of wannabe authoritarians, tells a different story.These tech billionaires with so-called “f*** you money” are not bold. They are reactionary. They are obsequious. And they are laser-focused on protecting their empires, no matter who gets hurt in the process...2025-04-1142 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜What If Most People Never *Really* Cared About Art? 🤔Hey y’all,In today’s podcast, I’m thinking through the cultural shift that’s happening right before our eyes: generative AI has crossed the Rubicon, and I don’t think most of us can fully imagine how dramatically it will shape how we make, consume, and value art. Clearly, I’m not anti-technology. I’m not even anti–ChatGPT (or Gemini or Perplexity). I’ve used large language models for years. What I am is suspicious. Suspicious of hype, suspicious of claims about democratization (that’s always been fake, but we’ll get to tha...2025-04-0824 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜You Don't Really Know These People!Hey y’all!Today, I decided to revisit Lauren Michele Jackson’s sharp New Yorker piece “How Dare Celebrities Cheat?” and reflect on how cheating scandals activate something primal in us: projection, heartbreak, misplaced rage, and a sense of justice that’s way too invested in other people’s business.You know I looooove mess, but even I can acknowledge that we’re all a little too close to the celebrities we claim to love. In twenty years, we’ve gone from Team Jolie vs. Team Aniston to TikTok detectives stalking the Saltburn dude’s grandma...2025-04-0224 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜March 31, 2025Hey y’all,Right now, I’m thinking about cycles and how the past keeps showing up in our present in new clothes and cheap wigs. I hopped on Instagram Live to talk about Trump’s authoritarian antics and the MAGA movement’s not-so-subtle revival of Confederate logic: surveillance, exclusion, and the gutting of public services. But I also explore the weight of knowing history, the danger of fetishizing facts without context, and why so many Black folks are quietly breathing a sigh of relief that Trump’s emphasis on immigration enforcement means the targeting isn’t aimed square...2025-04-011h 01
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜How Instagram Turned All Women Into Full-Time Beauty HustlersHey y’all!Back in 2019, I made a video for For Harriet called Instagram is Bad for Black Women, and a few months later, Jia Tolentino published her essay The Age of Instagram Face in The New Yorker. Both of us were analyzing the same phenomenon—the way social media warps beauty standards and pushes women and girls toward a homogeneous, algorithmically-approved aesthetic.Fast forward to 2025, and while the exact face and body that dominated Instagram may have shifted, the underlying mechanics of digital beauty culture haven’t changed. In fact, we now have c...2025-03-1851 min

Nicole Steward on Radical Self-Care for ChangemakersWhat is the health impact of the work we do in International Relations and Humanitarian Settings?In this interview with Nicole Steward, MSW and author of the new book Radical Self-Care, we delved into how shock doctrines, global conflicts, media narratives, and disaster relief efforts impact not only everyday people but also those on the frontlines—doctors, crisis responders, soldiers, diplomats, peacemakers, activists, journalists, and political leaders.We explored how racial, economic and social systems, along with work environments, thrive on people working in survival mode and how conditions like vicarious trauma, moral injury, burnout, co...2025-03-051h 06

KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Elon Musk is Making Deadbeat Dads Great AgainHey y’all,Today’s topic is Elon Musk’s current paternity drama. The man is out here collecting children like they’re limited-edition Pokemon, and somehow (most) of the conservatives who preach “family values” have nothing to say about it. 🤷🏾♀️In case you missed it, Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old conservative influencer, recently revealed that she had Musk’s 13th child—THIRTEEN. (That we know of.) And because this is Elon Musk we’re talking about, the situation is messy. She says they were in a relationship; he flew her out, swept her off her feet—and then when...2025-02-2621 min

KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜KKKarla is Kancelled: Thoughts on How Disgusting Tweets Destroyed a Historic Oscar RunHey y’all,The BAFTAs took place last night, and the Oscars are just around the corner. This awards season has been marked by a full-blown scandal that once again highlights the ruthless machinations of the Hollywood PR Machine and the superficial, self-serving politics of white women (cis and trans alike).What was supposed to be a groundbreaking moment for Karla Sofía Gascón, the first openly trans actor nominated for an Academy Award, has turned into an utter disaster. Journalist Sarah Hagi resurfaced Gascón’s old tweets filled with racism, Islamop...2025-02-1724 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Beyoncé *Finally* Won the ThingHey y’all,Well, well, well. It finally happened. Beyoncé won Album of the Year. After years of snubs, the Grammys finally handed her the big one for Cowboy Carter. And I can’t lie—I have thoughts.Let’s start with the obvious: this Grammy Moment™️ wasn’t just about this album. It’s about the decades of exceptional work, the years of “so close but not quite,” and the cultural weight of being Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter. Cowboy Carter was undoubtedly a standout from 2024, but I still kinda hate that they crowned Beyoncé n...2025-02-0617 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜F*** A CrossoverHey y’all,Today’s episode explores the ongoing debate about “crossover” success in the music industry. What does “crossover” success even mean in our incredibly fragmented media environment? Should Black artists prioritize mainstream appeal, or is cultivating a strong, loyal Black audience more important? I explain why artists like Victoria Monét and Coco Jones thrive exactly where they are, and why streaming numbers don’t tell the full story.Plus, I reflect on Flo’s latest performance and why Bruno Mars is the king of making hits that stick.Talk soon,Kim✨Links...2025-01-3116 min

Yes, ASAP Rocky is a multi-millionaire, but let’s be real—his track record is questionable at best.

KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Old B*s Are WinningHey y’all,Today’s podcast is about how the tides are turning for women over 30 in pop music and beyond. It’s easier than ever for women to thrive as they age (despite the aesthetic pressures), and we’re seeing it everywhere: from pop stars like Tinashe, Victoria Monét, and Charli XCX breaking through in their 30s, to the glow of confidence and control many of us feel as we settle into ourselves.But as older women are claiming our space, I can’t help but think about how much more complicated...2025-01-2318 min

No dramatic despair or rage, just a firm commitment to focus on the fights that matter and preserve my MF peace.In today’s podcast, I unpack why I’m shifting my energy away from obsessing over every news cycle and toward investing in smaller-scale, meaningful actions. From discussing the derangement of Trump loyalists to examining the Democratic Party’s malpractice in engaging younger Black voters, there’s a lot to dissect about how we navigate this chaotic political era.2025-01-2115 min
KIMBERLY HAS THOUGHTS 💜Did "Wokeness" Create A Culture of Emotionally Dysregulated Vigilantes?First, please know that I NEVER use “wokeness” that way in serious conversations. That’s why it’s in scare quotes. Here, I’m talking about the caricature of progressive values right-wingers love to promulgate. Moving on…I’ve been thinking about how much socializing revolves around alcohol and the ethics of hosting events that include it.
