Die burundische Künstlerin betina quest mag bei ihrem Namen die Kleinschreibung bevorzugen – musikalisch jedoch tritt sie in große Fußstapfen: Nichts weniger als die Neuinterpretation eines Nina Simone-Songs bietet sie mit ihrer aktuellen Single "Four African Women" an. Für das "Update" des ursprünglich 1966 als "Four Women" erschienenen Liedes ging sie dabei gewissermaßen einen Umweg, und griff auf eine textlich überarbeitete Fassung zurück, welche die afroamerikanische Jazz- und Pop-Sängerin Somi 2014 veröffentlichte. Als eine "Hommage an Nina Simone und Somi und auch eine Hommage an jede schwarze Frau, deren Identität und Geschichte die Welt, in der wir heute leben, prägt" versteht betina quest nun ihre ganz eigene Version des Stücks. Diese fügt dem ausdrucksstarken Text über "die vielschichtigen Erfahrungen afrikanischer Frauen, ihre Geschichten und ihre Widerstandskraft gegenüber Unterdrückung" ein neues, kongeniales musikalisches Fundament aus Afro-Soul und elektronischen Elementen hinzu. Ihrem (Künstlerinnen?-)Nachnamen entsprechend, sieht sie sich dabei als Fragende, Suchende, mit einer klaren Aufgabe: "Ich finde, dass Black Womanhood mit einer Verantwortung verbunden ist. Und zwar mit der Verantwortung unsere Geschichten zu erzählen, generationsübergreifendes Trauma zu heilen und uns gegenseitig zu feiern."

Happy New Year! The Black Menace Podcast is back for 2024 and we're kicking this year off with an interview with Kaleb Ford (she/they). In this episode, Nate and Rachel interview Kaleb about their experience growing up with pro-Black foster parents living with a White family and attending a predominantly White private school in their high school years. Kaleb shares their journey of understanding their gender identity to joining the LDs church and eventually moving to Utah. Follow on IG: @Kaleb_FormerlyKnownAs Originally hailing from Los Angeles, California, Kaleb has recently made the transition to SLC from Columbus, Ohio, accompanied by their dog, Dr. Dibbs. In their free time, they enjoy diving into captivating books, exploring the city, and taking leisurely strolls with Dibbs by their side. Their interests are wide-ranging, spanning from exploring spirituality within the Diaspora to delving into the intricate politics of Black Womanhood. Kaleb's academic journey has taken them through Oberlin College for undergrad and The Ohio State University for a Masters in Black Studies. They firmly believe that the power of Black women's art and fiction is as influential in shaping discourse as traditional academic texts. Some of the brilliant minds that inspire them include N.K. Jemisin, Ntozake Shange, and Audre Lorde. For those intrigued by the dynamic relationship between language and oppressive structures in nonwhite communities, they wholeheartedly recommend M. Nourbese Philips' "Discourse on the Logic of Language." After spending over five years in the nonprofit world as an educator, they are now the Black Student Engagement Coordinator at the University of Utah.

The Common team is taking the day to rest and rejuvenate after a very busy few weeks (did you catch our special climate series last week? If not, listen back!) so today, we bring you a feature from the WBUR newsroom. It's from reporter Arielle Gray and it's about the work of renowned artist Simone Leigh, who explores Black womanhood through the use of clay, bronze and ceramics. Last year, Leigh became the first Black woman to represent the U.S. at the Venice Biennale, which is one of the largest and most storied contemporary art exhibitions in the world. Now, the pieces she created for the Biennale are on display at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art, making their U.S. debut. Greater Boston's daily podcast where news and culture meet.

Last year, Simone Leigh became the first Black woman to represent the U.S. at the Venice Biennale. Now on view in Boston, a survey of her work explores the interwoven threads of race and gender.

What does it mean to be a Black woman? This is a question that garners a very diverse response. Denene Millner and Sharonda L. Britton join the show to help us answer this question while exploring the current state of Black womanhood. Denene Millner is a New York Times bestselling author and frequent contributor to publications such as NPR, Essence, and Glamor. Sharonda L. Britton is the VP of customer relations and customer relationship marketing at Loewe.  Bringing their wildly different backgrounds to the table, Denene and Sharonda highlight the important fact that Black women are not a monolith. Throughout the discussion, you'll find differences in opinions and experiences, all of which are valid in and of themselves. Starting with Denene and Sharonda's respective thoughts on the current state of Black womanhood, the conversation then moves into how both of them respectively achieve success while balancing resilience and accomplishments.  This conversation dives deep into the issues of authenticity and assimilation, the distinction of Black women as compared to other women, and thoughts on spaces created for Black women. We invite you to tune into this conversation to experience the different viewpoints and opinions on what the current state of Black womanhood is today.

In this episode of Mutuality Matters (Intersectionality), Angela sits down with Rev. Dr. Christy Woodbury-Moore, assistant professor of spiritual formation at Memphis Theological University. Rev. Dr. Woodbury-Moore shares her research, as well as her own experiences regarding the ways in which the personal narratives of women, when embraced and expressed, empower them toward wholeness. It is Rev. Dr. Woodbury-Moore's assertion that this drive towards wholeness allows women to then be vehicles of justice and liberation for their communities.    Bio:  Rev. Dr. Christy S. Woodbury-Moore is a native of Jackson, Mississippi. She attended Tuskegee University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. She also holds an MBA from the University of Minnesota-Carlson School of Management. Rev. Dr. Woodbury-Moore received a Master of Divinity degree and holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Virginia Union University with a focus on the unique experiences of African American women. She currently serves as the assistant professor of spiritual formation and the director of supervised ministry at Memphis Theological Seminary.     Dr. Woodbury-Moore has a heart for African American women and the black community. Her dissertation, titled, “Give Me My Stuff: In Defense of Black Womanhood,” is a womanist exploration of the ways black women's voices and experiences have been minimized in an effort to empower them to see the value in their own stories.  She also serves on the board of Equity for Women in the Church, an ecumenical organization advocating for the representation of women's key leadership roles in the church.

In the early '90s, young Tiffanie Drayton and her siblings left Trinidad and Tobago to join their mother in New Jersey, where she'd been making her way as a domestic worker, eager to give her children a shot at the American Dream. At first, life in the U.S. was idyllic. But chasing good school districts with affordable housing left Tiffanie and her family constantly uprooted – moving from Texas to Florida then back to New Jersey. As Tiffanie came of age in the suburbs, she began to ask questions about the binary Black and white American world. Why were the Black neighborhoods she lived in crime-ridden, and the multicultural ones safe? Why were there so few Black students in advanced classes at school, if there were any advanced classes at all? Why was it so hard for Black families to achieve stability? Why were Black girls treated as something other than worthy? Drayton's book, Black American Refugee, expands on her 2020 New York Times piece that details the pain and brokenness she experienced while living in the U.S. and why she ultimately left, returning to Trinidad and Tobago. In her book, she examined the intersection of her personal experiences and the broader cultural and historical ramifications of American racism and global white supremacy. Through the experiences of her family, as well as her own, she illuminated the toll that a lifetime of racism can take and evokes a critical question: Can Black people ever realize true emancipation here in the “land of the free?” Tiffanie Drayton is a mother, world traveler, and journalist whose work has been featured in The New York Times, Vox, Marie Claire, Playboy, and Salon, among other outlets. She has published two non-fiction young adult books, Developing Political Leadership Skills (2019) and Coping with Gun Violence (2018).

Good Morning Lovers & FriendsThis Saturday Morning over Mango & Orange Mimosas I was joined by my friend and Special Guest, Dwaneika Colebrooke. We went into a deep conversation in reference to the over-sexualization of Black Girl-Hood transitioning into Black Womanhood. Sensuality, Seduction, and strong Feminine energy attracting strong Masculine energy. We briefly touched on Trauma, and how it becomes a domino effect in some of our lives if not addressed (So be ready for Part 2.)If you would like to submit an anonymous lettermorningafterpod1@gmail.comFollow The Morning After on Social Mediahttps://www.instagram.com/themorningafterpod_/https://www.facebook.com/themorningafterwKMHosthttps://www.instagram.com/mskaimichelle/Guesthttps://www.instagram.com/dwaneika/

On this week's episode, I spoke with Je'Monda Roy, a Jacksonian and 3-time graduate of The University of Mississippi. Roy created a documentary, "Getting to the Root: Stories of Natural Hairstyles and Black Womanhood at Ole Miss" that embodies the experience of the black woman on campus, finding camaraderie through their shared experiences and finding support through and outlets through hair. We discuss her creation of the documentary and its importance, experiences at the university coming from a predominantly black city and how she adjusted to the environment, despite battling the unwelcoming atmosphere the university fostered for black/brown people.
