Why are black girls so loud? It's a question I've had many times before, so I wanted to talk about it in this episode of The Mix of Black Girl Magic Podcast. I strongly feel that we are not all loud, and/or allowed to be loud. In this episode, I talk about how the volume with which I speak can sometimes be seen as both a blessing and a curse. If you can relate or have ever been told you were being too loud, then this episode is for you. Of course, my feelings are expressed in relation to the black lesbian community. Please feel free to contact me on Instagram or Twitter: @yoitsmolive to continue the discussion. Thank you for listening & I hope you enjoy! *You may want to turn down your volume* :P Much love, -YoitsMo!

This podcast episode is devoted to the invalidation that black girls often experience. I am speaking from my position and experience identifying as a lesbian black girl/woman. The fact that LGBT AA people are often misjudged, under represented, or simply ignored is not a topic that I don't hear discussed frequently. So, let's talk about it. Please feel free to listen, comment, & share this podcast if you or someone you know can relate.
