All Skin-folk ain’t Kinfolk

Ress and Ashley unpack the real meaning behind “all skinfolk ain’t kinfolk,” getting into the messiness of how not everyone who looks like you is necessarily for you. They get into why some folks in marginalized communities end up caping for the very systems that hurt them — yes, Uncle Tom energy is still alive and well. From awkward work dynamics to celebrity betrayals, they dish on how peer pressure, self-interest, and clout-chasing can warp loyalty. The takeaway? Look beyond the optics, know what you believe, and uplift the people walking the walk — not just talking it on timelines.
