182: Colorism Healing & Destigmatizing Privilege

This week we are honored to be joined by Dr. Sarah Webb of colorism healing, we further unpack what colorism is, its origins, how it is used to continue to marginalize and oppress Black people, specifically the experience for Black women. Our goal is to understand how we can break past cycles of colorism and find solutions to combat colorism in our daily lives. Sade is over work and Glynn is out here letting you know she got games on her phone. Chelsea had a some internet issues so you might not hear as much from her, she thinks the internet was discriminating and did not want the light-skinned girl on the episode.

181: Are you even Black though? (A Patreon teaser)

This week, we're giving ya'll a peek into what goes down on our Patreon (please excuse any audio wierdness, as all of our Patreon episodes are typically done over video!). It's ironically fitting that on this episode—the first one of BHM—we dig into what exactly it means to Black, when race is a construct. It's heady and complex, and it's something our group chat is always unpacking.

 

Subscribe to our Patreon at Patreon.com/blackgirlstexting for the rest of the episode and engage with us in the comments to let us know your thoughts. 

 

AND: Happy Birthday to Samantha! You're a rider and we love you girl!

180: West Elm Caleb & Dating Apps Etiquette

This is a short but sweet episode, our dear Chelsea is heading to La La Land and we had an amazing weekend sending her off.

179: Glynn ”Made Chelsea Sleep on a Cot”

It's just the girls again this week. Are ya'll loving these solo eps?! We are. 

On this episode, we play a game aimed at getting closer as friends.  We're asking each other questions like: "when was the last time you misunderstood me?" and "do you have a sexual fantasy that scares you?"

It gets deep...and a little bit messy too. 

Try asking and answering some of these questions in your group chat, too. You'll be surprised what comes up!
