Ep. 6: Owning strength and femininity

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 23, 2020 31:57


The reality of sexism in America – along with the reality of centuries-long systemic racism in the U.S. – has often forced Black women to mask their true feelings. Women are forced to show hope in times of fear; restraint in times of rage; strength in times of pain. Instead of shying away from the stereotype of the angry Black women, these women are owning their strength and redefining femininity. Guests: Kristin Scott, Deanna West-Torrence, Kathryn Bartlett, Marie Holbrook, Christina Beauford and Amanda Stanfield. Moderated by Richland Source Engagement & Solutions Editor Brittany Schock. 419 Barbershop has partnered with Richland Source, Mankind Murals Inc. and DRM Productions to bring the "Shop Talk" series to life.

While America is still reeling from the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd, these women said Black men have feared police brutality for decades, and their motherly fears are deep-rooted. Guests: Kristin Scott, Deanna West-Torrence, Kathryn Bartlett, Marie Holbrook, Christina Beauford and Amanda Stanfield.
