My Sistas Keeper
My Sistas' Keeper unapologetically centers Black women and girls. Too often we are a footnote or an afterthought.
This podcast focuses on issues, topics, concerns related to black women and girls. I've been called to educate, inform, increase awareness and call people to action.
If you are a black woman, black girl or an ally, please listen to the podcast. Download and share. I would like to be in community with like-minded folks.

Black Men Donning Dresses and Bad Wigs to "Portray" Black Women.
It's an age old issue - Black men putting on frumpy dresses and bad wigs to "portray" black women and girls for "entertainment". The laughs are often at the expense of black women.
Think Flip Wilson's Geraldine, Tyler Perry's Madea, Eddie Murphy's Rasputia, Martin Lawrence's Big Momma and Shenae Nae and Jamie Fox's Wanda.
What is it about those caricatures/characters that engender such laughter? Is it the wigs? the dresses? the loudness? the blackness?
