Okay, Are Y’all Ready For The Colorism Convo? (with Dr. Yaba Blay)

This week, we start by reflecting on what it was like to open up about body image in our last episode. We also wanted to make sure we thanked YOU, yes you, for all of the love you've shared with us after such a vulnerable conversation.

Then, we invite scholar-activist Dr. Yaba Blay to talk to us about how and why colorism plays out in our day-to-day lives. We talk about her book “One Drop: Shifting the Lens on Race,” about how colorism shifts across gender, and what it might look like for those with privilege to lead the way to change.

Oh! We were featured in THEE New York Times, ICYMI: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/01/style/oknowlisten-sylvia-obell-scottie-beam.html
