Where Love and Life Isn't a Fairytale–and that's okay.
Let’s face it, it has been a pretty crap week for women. Mallory and Tamu talk about the travesty that was the indictment of the police officer who shot through Breonna Taylor’s walls, but not for shooting her. They also touch on a little tiny news story about women on the verge of losing all of their reproductive rights with the new conservative Supreme Court. No biggie, right?!
Moral to the Story: *sigh* History is repeating itself people, we have to come together and fight as one.
Mallory and Tamu were joined by Hannah and SooJin of the Antiracist Parenting Podcast in the first of what we can hope are many conversations about what Antiracism is, how to related to individuals who might not be “there” and how it is possible for us all to move about the world as Antiracist humans.
Moral to the Story: The meaning of Sankofa – “You must reach back to reclaim that which is lost in order to move forward.”
So Tired of Having this be a Moral to the Story: Arrest the police officers who murdered Breonna Taylor!

This week, well, really two weeks ago, Tamu and Mallory discussed Black America’s unrequited love affair with the rest of America. Mallory was also having a tough time dealing with the world that week; Jacob Blake’s shooting left her feeling hopeless. While Tamu was dismayed and truly disgusted by the naturalization stunt the RNC decided to portray on TV, hope was on the horizon because Doc Rivers made her dad decide register to vote for the first time in his life.
Moral to the Story: If Tamu’s dad is pissed off enough to vote, we all should be pissed off enough to vote!

In a week of taking the good with the bad, the bad sort of won out for Tamu & Mallory. With the Congress taking a vacation in the middle of the pandemic and leaving millions questioning whether they can keep a roof over their heads and feed themselves and families, the crushing battle for the vote landing in the lap of the US Postal Service and the rebirth of birtherism; it is a wonder they made it to Friday with some semblance of sanity. At least they share a theme song with Kamala Harris and QVC.
Moral to the Story: Your vote means something! Let’s do what needs to be done and get to voting early.

Moral to the Story: In less than 100 days, you have a choice to make, go out and make the right one. VOTE!

Tamu and Mallory read Trisha R. Thomas’s Nappily Ever After and compare it to the Netflix adaptation. Let’s just say there were high expectations which were sadly not met. However, both the book and movie are pioneers for moving natural hair into the mainstream; hopefully the next movies and books about natural hair will be even better.
Moral to the Story: We are beautiful regardless of what comes out of our heads.

Well, at the time it was timely, but now, not so much. Tamu & Mallory headed to the theaters to see Crazy Rich Asians.
Moral to the Story: It will be out on DVD/streaming pretty soon. Buy it, rent it, stream it often so we can get more movies of color out into the world – or at least in America.
