Too many women are told that painful periods, heavy bleeding, and exhaustion are “just part of being a woman.” They're not. In this episode, Dr. Kameelah Phillips, OBGYN and author of The Empowered Hysterectomy, breaks down the truth about fibroids, hysterectomies, and perimenopause—and why informed choices matter for every woman's health. Dr. Phillips shares why nearly 80% of Black women will experience fibroids by age 50, how medical gaslighting keeps too many of us suffering in silence, and what real informed consent should look like in the exam room. With honesty and humor, she also opens up about her own journey through perimenopause, the power of hormone therapy, and why even world-class athletes like Serena Williams aren't immune from poor medical advice.In this episode, you'll learn:How to recognize the overlooked signs of fibroids (beyond heavy bleeding)Alternatives to hysterectomy: from hormonal therapies to minimally invasive proceduresWhat perimenopause really is (and why it can last up to 10 years)How hormone therapy works, who it helps, and where plant-based supports fit inPractical ways to advocate for yourself and push back against medical gaslightingResources & LinksCLICK to PURCHASE The Empowered Hysterectomy by Dr. Kameelah Phillips Follow Dr. Phillips on Instagram: @DrKameelahSays Learn more at Cala Women's Health, NYCWant more?

Historian and scholar, Dr. Keisha Blain joins The Electorette to discuss her groundbreaking new book, Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights. This vital chronicle reframes the history of Black women's activism—not only as a fight for civil rights in the U.S., but as a global human rights struggle that continues to shape our world today. From Ida B. Wells's anti-lynching crusade that called out America on the world stage, to Madam C.J. Walker's international diplomacy, to Black women radicals who linked civil rights to anti-apartheid and Palestinian liberation, Dr. Blain uncovers how Black women's vision of justice has always been expansive, international, and transformative. We also explore what their legacy teaches us about today's political moment, and why documenting these stories is essential as forces attempt to erase them. Learn more about your ad choices.

Will an era of rap that's finally making room for its male elders make equitable space for women and MaGes too? For this conversation we use the Clipse epic rollout as grown ass rappers (Pusha T, 48 & Malice, 53) launching their highly rated album and successful tour - to explore the experiences and P.O.V of Black women in and around the industry. I promise you it's not a reach. Culture writer Starr Rocque & PR Strategist Uchechi Chinyere join me to discuss all things Clipse, hip-hop, Black women & femmes. You don't have to know shxt about the Clipse or their latest album Let God Sort Em' Out to enjoy this conversation, but also please email and let me know how you managed to avoid knowing shxt about the Clipse during this very Clipse 2025. I think it's important to note that Tyler the Creator who shows up in one of the best features of the album is queer. We mention his feature, but not his queerness, which IS relevant in THIS conversation.

Even before they were recognized as citizens of the United States, Black women understood that the fights for civil and human rights were inseparable. Over the course of two hundred years, they were at the forefront of national and international movements for social change, weaving connections between their own and others' freedom struggles around the world. Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights (W.W. Norton, 2025) tells how, during American history, Black women made humans rights theirs: from worldwide travel and public advocacy in the global Black press to their work for the United Nations, they courageously and effectively moved human rights beyond an esoteric concept to an active, organizing principle. Acclaimed historian Keisha N. Blain tells the story of these women—from the well-known, like Ida B. Wells, Madam C. J. Walker, and Lena Horne, to those who are still less known, including Pearl Sherrod, Aretha McKinley, and Marguerite Cartwright. Blain captures human rights thinking and activism from the ground up with Black women at the center, working outside the traditional halls of power. By shouldering intersecting forms of oppression—including racism, sexism, and classism—Black women have long been in a unique position to fight for freedom and dignity. Without Fear is an account of their aspirations, strategies, and struggles to pioneer a human rights approach to combating systems of injustice. Dr. Keisha Blain is a professor of Africana studies and history at Brown University. She is a Guggenheim, Carnegie, and New America Fellow, and author—most recently of the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Until I Am Free.

CNN's Victor Blackwell hosted a panel last week to discuss the canary in the coal mine - a notable rise in unemployment among not only black Americans, but black women. On that panel: Black Voters Matter Fund co-founder LaTosha Brown, former GOP Georgia Senate candidate Stephanie Donegan, and Capital B national editor Dalila Paul. First, let's applaud that CNN fielded an all-black and female panel to discuss an issue impacting black women. You'd think it obvious to do that, but cable TV news isn't usually good at that.Still it was Donegan, the former GOP candidate, who leaned into tropes like 'affirmative action' and 'DEI' placing black women in positions, saying "ultimately a lot of the hiring, I feel that's happened within the federal government, was to check boxes for DEI."Notice she said "I feel ...;" not that she had evidence or data. Just "I feel ..."On with me to discuss her remarks and all the negative impacts of the second Trump presidency impacting black women is - yay me! - a black woman. Shavonda Miles is CEO at Vona Monet Consulting, in Atlanta. ------I'm beyond excited that Texas state House Representative James Talarico has announced his Senate run, but first Texas Democrats will have to decide between he and Collin Allred, someone else I'm a huge fan of. A shame we can't have both (yet, anyway) represent that state but hear Talarico's message and tell me it doesn't give you goosebumps (or 'white Obama' vibes). ------Georgian Lisa Cook's seat on the Fed Board is still hers, according to a federal judge. That stability, along with already-lowering mortgage rates should mean good news next week for the housing market, despite the slowing economy. ------The ICE raid on the southeast Georgia Hyundai Metaplant has put strains on US-South Korean and Georgia-South Korean relations, and Korean-Americans here are deeply concerned, themselves. ------Lastly, Marjorie Taylor Greene isn't excited about any of the GOP candidates running for Governor here or the US Senate seat now occupied by Jon Ossoff - mostly because she isn't one of the candidates (my opinion), but is this a sign of weakness on the cohesiveness on the right?

Despite facing significant obstacles in their own lives, black women in the United States were at the forefront of campaigns for human rights at home and abroad. Historian Keisha N Blain tells the stories of some of these women who, in the 19th and 20th centuries, worked outside the corridors of power to fight for freedom across the globe. She was joined in conversation by Rob Attar. (Ad) Keisha N Blain is the author of Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights (W. W. Norton & Company, 2025).

How did Black Women become magical? In episode 138, Ellie and David talk to Lindsey Stewart about her book, The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women's Magic. They talk about how the concept of ‘conjure' shifted from its origin in the West African tradition to how it manifests in African American communities today. They discuss how Yoruba religion traveled to the US with slavery, as well as exploring the impact of historical images like the Mammy and the Voodoo Queen. What are the dangers of rhetoric of Black women being magical? How has Christianity influenced the ignorance that many Americans have around conjure? Is Beyonce magical? And does her album Cowboy Carter invoke the West African concept of Sankofa? In the Substack bonus segment, Ellie and David talk about magic on a larger scale, and parse out the differences between magic, religion and science. Works Discussed: Keisha L. Bentley-Edwards and Valerie N. Adams, “I am not (your) superwoman, Black girl magic, or beautiful struggle: Rethinking the resilience of Black women and girls”  Kim R.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast opened with a powerful and emotional call for accountability as Jeffrey Epstein survivors spoke out on Capitol Hill, urging Congress and former President Trump to stop dismissing their trauma as a "hoax" and to release all related files. Their push, backed by bipartisan lawmakers like Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, has reignited the fight for transparency and justice. The survivors’ demand resonates with the broader movement insisting that only full disclosure can pave the path to healing. Adding spice to social media chatter, Kelly Price went on a viral rant, candidly calling out Black women—including herself—and Black men for being “nasty” and “disrespectful” online, all while passionately addressing how public scrutiny has fueled her emotional expression. Meanwhile, Montell Jordan set the record straight about his health—reporting that he is not cancer-free and is still undergoing treatment after prostate cancer returned to his lymph nodes. He continues to advocate for early detection and is working on a documentary to share his journey.

A special collaboration episode with Black Women Healing Podcast and the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast! Jasmine, host of the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast, joins Myra and Donika, hosts of the Black Women Healing Podcast to talk about city planning and mental health. You can watch this episode on YouTube here. Jasmine (New Jersey suburbs), Myra (Inglewood, California), Donika (Louisville, Kentucky) share their relationship with the field or industry of urban planning; the first time taking a city-wide public bus, the struggle of finding community after moving to a new city, and watching their hometown change through gentrification. The conversation gets local with all three ladies living and working in Los Angeles, California. The discussion shifts to fighting gentrification in Inglewood and South Central LA amongst planning decisions for SoFi Stadium, LAX, and metro line expansion. The message “DON'T SELL YOUR GRAMMA HOUSE” rings throughout the conversation as we break down some causes and solutions to gentrification, both personal and political. The hosts explore how the absence or presence of parks and greenspace [urban planning] impacts anxiety and depression [mental health], how certain infrastructure like highways can lead to health issues like asthma while others such as bike lanes and wide sidewalks fight diabetes and heart disease. The conversation sites research from The Trust for Public Land, New York City Community Parks Initiative, and Smart Growth America. The episode is available to watch on YouTube and listen on all streaming platforms.Jasmine is so honored to be featured as a guest on the Black Women Healing Podcast!

Send us a textEver notice how Black women are expected to win quietly? In this powerful return episode, I dive into the recent tennis court confrontation between Taylor Townsend and Jelena Ostapenko that perfectly captures what many of us experience daily – being told we're "low class" or "uneducated" when we succeed, then being praised for our composure when we don't react to blatant disrespect.The tennis incident serves as a mirror to workplace dynamics where Black women face impossible standards. We're expected to take on additional responsibilities without complaint or compensation, to dim our light when it shines too brightly, and to apologise for achievements that would be celebrated in others. I share personal experiences of being shamed for displaying success or enjoying luxury items – what I now recognise as the systematic policing of Black joy, a pattern so pervasive it deserves to be studied as a psychological phenomenon.I'm thrilled to announce my new venture, Sister Scribble – a stationery brand celebrating Black creativity through vibrant, 90s hip-hop inspired designs. After finding conventional stationery boring and disconnected from my experience, I've created a line that honors our voices and cultural heritage while providing tools for creative expression. The Origin Edit launches in October 2025, coinciding with UK Black History Month.The episode also tackles current events including immigration policies, the weaponisation of national symbols, and how Christianity is sometimes used to create hierarchies among women based on marital status. I close with strategic advice for a listener facing the all-too-common dilemma of being asked to take on senior responsibilities without appropriate recognition or compensation.Ready to stop apologising for your success? Listen now, and remember: you are not here to be manageable. Your wins are only threatening to fragile egos – to the rest of us, they're testimony.Referenced in podcast:On Becoming by Toke Makinwahttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Becoming-Toke-Makinwa-ebook/dp/B01NAAEILQ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=22QOYVTIK8XAJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.I2kHpBBav2v9SW3ObtJCNw.dR98_87UWyYR5SicIjHVRdapL-tOgl9Zf3WzsDxrtzY&dib_tag=se&keywords=toke+makinwa&qid=1756854169&sprefix=toke+makinwa%2Caps%2C111&sr=8-1Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star Stationary Company - Instagram @sistahscribble Website: www.sistahscribble.com COMING SOON....

Send us a textIn this episode, MJ and Rasheem explore the legacy and continued relevance of poor Black women's activism in Baltimore, focusing on housing justice and welfare rights. Drawing on Rhonda Y. Williams' seminal article, “We're Tired of Being Treated Like Dogs,” the hosts delve into the political lives of Black women who mobilized against institutional neglect and economic exploitation from the 1960s to the present.The conversation centers on the historical and grassroots efforts of Black women like Margaret McCarty and Rev. Annie Chambers, who turned personal struggle into collective resistance. Organizations like U-JOIN (Union for Jobs or Income Now) and Mother Rescuers from Poverty emerged from East Baltimore's neighborhoods and housing complexes such as Murphy Homes, O'Donnell Heights, and Gilmore Homes—communities marked by poverty but rich in organizing tradition.Rasheem details how federal surveillance, welfare fraud prosecutions, and slumlord neglect were met with tenant strikes, welfare marches, and legislative advocacy. Leaders challenged both structural racism and class exploitation, drawing on a Black Radical Tradition that was grassroots-based, anti-capitalist, and unapologetically of the people.Key locations such as North Gay Street and Pennsylvania Avenue serve as landmarks of resistance, while institutions like the Soul School became spaces of political education. The episode also touches on national allies like CORE and speakers such as Stokely Carmichael and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who amplified the local struggle on a national stage.MJ and Rasheem conclude by reflecting on what today's organizers can learn from this era: the power of coalition-building, the necessity of political independence, and the importance of reclaiming radical traditions that center the voices of poor Black women in the fight for housing, dignity, and justice.Main Themes:Housing activism as a form of defense of home and selfThe central role of Black women in welfare rights organizingTension between Black capitalism and Black radical politicsPolitical consciousness and grassroots leadership among poor communitiesLessons for contemporary housing and labor justice movements in BaltimoreSupport the showIn Search of Black Power is a Black-owned internet show and podcast.

This episode of Perimenopause: Head to Toe features Dr. Sameena Rahman, an OB-GYN and specialist in sexual medicine and menopause. She is also the founder of the GYN and Sexual Medicine CollectiveDr. Rahman highlights that women in their mid-40s often experience confusing bodily changes. Symptoms include: Menstrual Changes: Unpredictable periods, with some becoming heavier or stopping for months. Physical & Emotional Symptoms: Intimate dryness, reduced libido, sleep issues, hot flashes, brain fog, and irritability.Systemic Issues in Women's HealthcareThe conversation addresses challenges within the medical system. A Patriarchal System: The doctors agree that the healthcare system is historically patriarchal, resulting in a lack of research and understanding of women's health. Medical Training Gap: The doctors note that medical school training often overlooks the significant emotional and cognitive effects of perimenopause, focusing instead on hot flashes and irregular periods. The "Double Whammy": They point out that because the OB-GYN field is largely female, there's an unspoken expectation to manage all aspects of women's health with limited resources, leading to provider burnout and inadequate patient care.Cultural Differences and BiasDr. Rahman, who is South Asian, discusses unique challenges for women of color. Earlier Onset: Women of color, including Black and South Asian women, often experience perimenopause and menopause earlier. This is linked to allostatic load, the cumulative "wear and tear" from chronic stress. Stigma: Cultural factors like stoicism and taboos around sex lead to a reluctance to seek medical help. Health Disparities: The episode notes higher rates of heart disease and diabetes in the South Asian population.About Dr. Rahman's Practice and BookDr. Sameena Rahman is a board-certified OB/GYN, sex-med gynecologist, menopause specialist and a clinical assistant professor of OB/GYN at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. She is the founder of the Gyn & Sexual Medicine Collective, a successful concierge practice that emphasizes evidence-based medicine and an affiliate of Ms. Medicine. Dr. Rahman is dedicated to evaluating and treating each patient with compassion, trauma-informed care, and an awareness of personal bias. Additionally, she hosts the podcast Gyno Girl Presents: Sex, Drugs & Hormones.Her upcoming book, "Brown Girls Disease? A Guide to Sexual Health and Empowerment Through a South Asian Lens," explores sexual health issues from a unique cultural and religious perspective.

What does it look like to heal your relationship with your mom while raising a daughter of your own? In this episode, Good Moms reflect on healing alongside their mothers, the challenges of letting go of old patterns, and the unexpected lessons that surface when you start to see your mom as “just a girl” too. They talk about caretaking, validation, breaking cycles of criticism, and the emotional labor of holding space for the women who once held it for you.

Michael Wolff, author of four bestselling books on Donald Trump, joins the Daily Beast's executive editor, Hugh Doherty, to dissect the former president's expanding enemies list.
