This episode discusses how Black women experience violence via social media and the importance of creating spaces for young, Black girls to thrive where they can be their most authentic selves. We address themes aligned with respectable politics, misogyny, and misogynoir. We discuss the importance of having non-profit organizations that support the development of Black girls and their leadership potential.
Listen to learn more about:
- How Black girls and women continue to be vulnerable to social media attacks, with little to no protection
- The nature of respectability politics and the challenges the underlying assumption of it causes Black girls and women who step outside of respectability politics to continue to face a normalization of disrespect via social media, with no protection.
