JungleRose is a podcast curated to amplify the voices of black women. Black women are misunderstood, undervalued, and overlooked. We are often perceived as ghetto, bossy, unintelligent, angry, promiscuous, less important, and uncultured, just to name a few things we are labeled as. Nah, sis that ain't us! LOL! This community will be a pipeline for change, challenging the false narratives, understanding the complexities, and celebrating the resilience of black women through conversation and storytelling.
love.
