Black Girl Aesthetic is where culture, creativity, and critical reflection collide. This podcast is a love letter to Black women's beauty, style, language, and influence — but it doesn't stop at celebration. It holds space for both joy and critique, exploring the richness of Black girlhood and womanhood through a lens that's equal parts admiration and analysis.From TikTok trends to timeless hair rituals, from “soft life” luxury to the politics of visibility, Black Girl Aesthetic honors the power and innovation of Black women — while also challenging the pressures, contradictions, and commodification that come with being iconic. It's about loving the look and asking why we have to serve it so hard, all the time.#blackgirlaesthetic  #LoveAndCritique #ListenToBlackWomen

This week, the gurls recap Bite Me, aka Welcome to White Lotus, Charmed, an episode that felt like a reward for watching last week's Leo Leo-centered episode, thanks to this week's director, John T. Kretchmer, who also directed the pilot. Paige also shines due to Kretchmer's direction and Rose's acting; I wonder why Leo felt it was okay to take advantage of Piper's grief and try to figure out when Cole and Phoebe's romance turns into The Burning Bed.The gurls dive into an exciting discussion, eagerly seeking podcast recommendations while celebrating some of their all-time favorites. Nelle can't stop raving about Shondaland's latest gem, The Residence, while Rae shares how Finch has played a transformative role in her mental health journey.Don't miss out—tune in to the latest episode of Black Girl Charmed!

In this episode of Edible Activist, we're joined by Olivia and Deja, co-Hub leaders of Black Girl Environmentalist DC. Focused on fostering an inclusive climate movement, they organize events in the District and surrounding areas to connect Black women to nature and environmental justice work. Tune in as they share the story behind Black Girl Environmentalist, their efforts to shift narratives, and what environmental justice looks like when led by Black and Brown communities.

Movements don't start in meetings. They start with lived experiences—the kind we normalize, dismiss, or bury until someone dares to say it out loud. In this foundational conversation, Felicia Ford and Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown return to the moment they knew this work—National Black Girl Month™—had to exist. Not just as a celebration, but as structure. As strategy. As response. “Our tired didn't start in 2022. Our tired had a history.” “We're not anomalies—we're the fabric. And our stories don't begin in boardrooms. They begin in kindergarten.” Together, they trace the threads from Silent Dangers of Black Girls in Education to the present moment, where visibility alone is no longer enough. This episode names what we've been carrying—as daughters, as mothers, as leaders, as women who were never supposed to carry it all—and sets the tone for a month of truth-telling, healing, and collective power. “If we don't name the dangers, how do we ever dismantle them?” “The danger is in being silent and being silenced.” They speak to the weight of advocacy work. The grief in realizing school was built for someone else's success. The guilt in having had good experiences while watching others be pushed out. And the sacred power of claiming space in systems designed to erase you. This is the kind of conversation you feel before you understand it—and once you do, you can't unsee it. “You belong here. Even if you've been hurt by other Black women. Even if you're mothering through grief. You still belong.” “Everyone operates in the space of mothering at some point. And everyone has been mothered—whether well or not.” Whether you're leading change, recovering from the systems you've survived, or simply listening in, this is your invitation to sit down with us, right here, and remember what you've known all along.

The girls discuss the "Think Fast" TikTok challenge and wonder why Cole didn't do more to prove his devotion to Phoebe.Luckily for the gurls, Paige's comedic timing saves the day.There is a trigger warning at 31:19-32:24

"Nobody owns this format. We can enjoy vinyl however we want." FOR THE LOVE OF VINYL - Presented by A to Z Media (http://atozmedia.com) In this episode, I sit down with Alexandria Sade, the founder of Black Girls Love Vinyl, to talk about the intersection of music, identity, and community. Alex shares her journey from science student to music industry professional, how vinyl became a form of storytelling in her life, and why she created a space for Black women to share their love for records. We discuss the emotional connection to vinyl, the importance of curation, and how collecting records is as much about the stories behind them as the music itself. Alex also shares her vision for the future of Black Girls Love Vinyl, including expanding its reach, launching archival projects, and even starting a record label.

As we close out our 400th episode celebration, we wanted to shift focus to how media representation has impacted Black women over the years and how changes in the industry inform how we will continue to see ourselves in the future. Joining me this week are The Cut’s Beauty Editor, Asia Ware, and founder of Black Girls in Media, Tasha McCaskiel. With their separate but interconnected experience as journalist and media strategist we unpack how one begins a career in journalism, how the state of the industry shifts where we find authentic Black stories, and the importance of not skipping out on “the work”.

How many times have you heard us say that Black Girl At A PWI isn't just about where you go to school but the predominantly white spaces that we exist in societally? If you're wondering where this episode is going, just now we go THERE. With our special guest Jordyn Clark--a Howard University graduate--this episode is dedicated to the Black Girls thinking about HBCUs, attending HBCUS, at PWIs, and just existing in majority white spaces. Per usual, we leave almost no stone left unturned--bridging the gap between two experiences worthy of not being so mutually exclusive.

The Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate offices that handle environmental justice issues, like pollution in poor neighborhoods and communities of color. It’s part of a wider crackdown on Biden-era climate policies. The Trump administration is dismantling public health infrastructure in the U.S. and abroad. How ready are we for the next public health crisis?  Figure skating is seen as an elite, mostly white sport, but a new documentary series tells the story of a program for girls in Harlem looking to change that. The legal dispute between actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over alleged sexual harassment has become a cause celebre among right-wing media.

Through personal narratives and cultural insights, Ebony explores how activism manifests in the daily existence of Black women, challenging traditional definitions of resistance and self-care. The discussion explores the complexities of Black Girl Luxury, examining how privilege intersects with responsibility while unpacking the revolutionary act of choosing softness in a world that demands hardness. From the historical context of reparations to the spiritual significance of ancestral veneration, this conversation offers a rich exploration of healing, identity, and the divine right to wellness within the Black community.Guest Spotlight: EbonyJanice is the founder and CEO of The Free People Project and The EbonyJanice Project, and author of "All The Black Girls Are Activists: A Fourth Wave Womanist Pursuit Of Dreams As Radical Resistance."

Send us a textTalking About Kids is designed to support the positive development of all kids with the recognition that the factors that influence that development will be unique for each child based on their individual characteristics as well as those of their family and community. For Black History Month, Talking About Kids is examining the factors that influence the positive development of Black children and youth, and we kick off the month with insights from Seanna Leath. Seanna is an Assistant Professor at Washington University in St. Louis, where she directs the Fostering Healthy Identities and Resilience (FHIRe) Collaborative, a research lab devoted to studying the development of Black girls. This episode was intentionally produced to support the formation and coordination of adolescent-centered care and services, so you also will hear from Tracy Pedrotti of the Arizona Alliance for Adolescent Health. It was recorded live using a webinar platform to encourage questions from alliance members and other listeners. More information about Seanna and her work and about the Arizona Alliance for Adolescent Health is at talkingaboutkids.com.

Today's episode is part of a solo series on Reimagining Love about Family of Origin Roles (a.k.a. FOO roles). We're exploring how the roles we were cast into as children and held within our family systems shape how we show up in our relationships today. Whether you were the one who held the family together, the rebel who pushed back against household norms, or the “easy” kid who flew under the radar, we all inhabited a position in the community of our family and absorbed certain messages about love, connection, and worthiness as a result. Check out the introductory episode of the series if you missed it! All previous role-specific episodes are also linked below.We're taking a look at “The Parentified Child” role in today's episode. The child cast into this role likely heard that they were “so mature,” “wise beyond their years,” or were praised for their comforting presence when they were growing up. The problem? Kids shouldn't have to provide emotional support to the adults in their family. Unfortunately for the Parentified Child, this felt like the surest route to safety and love, perhaps due to a chaotic environment, overwhelmed parents, or conflict in the family system. As an adult, the Parentified Child carries with them a certain set of beliefs and tendencies that they picked up as a kid in this role. Does this sound like you, or someone you love? Listen to the episode to learn more about this role and how The Parentified Child can free themselves from always taking on others' needs and create more egalitarian relationships that feel safe and nourishing.Relevant links:Reimagining Love episode with Dr. Hillary McBride: Getting Present: Tuning Into Your Body with Dr. Hillary McBrideReimagining Love series: “I Love My Partner, But Their Family is Toxic”: Part 1, Part 2Girlhood Interrupted: The Erasure of Black Girls' Childhood (Rebecca Epstein, Jamilia J.

As of the reairing of this episode, 13 states in the US have a total abortion ban. 7 states ban abortion at or before 18 weeks' gestation. 21 states ban abortion at some point after 18 weeks.In the weeks before the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade, we sat down to talk about what body autonomy and reproductive health will look like for us in a post-Roe vs. Wade world. The stress of racism and barriers to care–including abortion care–are part of a downward spiral in reproductive justice. Too often, those stressors play out in our wombs as fibroids and cancers. We talk about seeking justice and liberation with our guests.GUESTS:Anoa Changa, journalist and writer of “What's Next for Roe v.

We’ve had a beautiful month of January Jumpstart episodes. We chatted with Yolo Akili about building community, with Attorney Aimee Griffin about cementing our legacy through estate planning, and much more. But what better way to close out the series than by hearing directly from you, our community? Today, we’re diving into two thoughtful questions, and I’m here to share insights that may connect with many of you. The first is about cleanliness—what happens when you didn’t grow up in a tidy household and now feel shame around organizing and keeping your space clean? The second is about leveling up—how do you manage the frustration of wanting to grow each year but feeling like you’re falling short? If you've got a question, we'd love to hear it. Drop us a voice note at memo.fm/therapyforblackgirls and let us know what’s on your mind. We just might answer your question on the podcast!
