2024-06-1911 minThe Mindset Shift With Jezelle's podcastSession 363: Black Women’s Romantic Pursuits in the MediaIt’s easy to dismiss dating reality TV shows like Love Island and The Bachelor as trashy, guilty pleasure TV, but as we watch Black women contestants continuously get discarded by their male counterparts, chosen last if chosen at all, and edited in a way that promotes stereotypes, it can make the IRL pursuit of romance feel a lot more bleak.
