Lisa is joined by Tamara Winfrey-Harris, a writer who specializes in race and gender and their intersection with politics, popular culture, and current events. She is the author of Dear Black Girl: Letters from Your Sisters on Stepping into Your Power, and she has been called to share her analyses in media outlets such as NPR's Weekend Edition and Janet Mock's So POPular! on MSNBC.com. Her work has also appeared in countless outlets such as The New York Times, The Atlantic, Los Angeles Times, Bitch Magazine, Ms. and other media.  Winfrey-Harris is Vice President of Community Leadership and Effective Philanthropy at the Central Indiana Community Foundation, and she speaks at university campuses nationwide. She has dedicated her life's work to advocating for Black women and girls and defying destructive social narratives that limit their potential. She is co-founder of Centering Sisters, LLC, which unapologetically addresses the needs and issues of Black women, girls, and femmes. Learn more at TamaraWinfreyHarris.com.Praised by The Washington Post as “a myth-busting portrait of Black women in America,” Tamara Winfrey-Harris' The Sisters Are Alright: Changing the Broken Narrative of Black Women in America exposed the high cost of “misogynoir,” uplifted the experiences of real Black women and shed light on their quest to break free of enduring and vicious stereotypes.  Since then, the Black community continues to grapple with systemic racism, while the book has become a touchstone of Black feminist thought. With a television development deal in the works with Wise Entertainment and Gabrielle Union's I'll Have Another Productions, and an updated second edition, The Sisters Are Alright is more relevant than ever (Publication date: October 12, 2021; Berrett-Koehler Publishers).  While emancipation may have occurred more than 150 years ago, Winfrey-Harris argues that America still won't let Black women be free from an insidious coven of caricatures: the servile Mammy, angry Sapphire, and lascivious Jezebel. Persisting to this day, these stereotypes continue to infiltrate newspaper headlines, Sunday sermons, social media memes, cable punditry, government policies, big-screen portrayals and hit song lyrics.  The latest edition of this bestseller features new interviews with diverse Black women. Alongside these authentic experiences and new voices, Winfrey Harris offers fresh Black feminist analysis of current events, politics and, popular culture--from “W.A.P.” and the rise of digital blackface to new civic activism and the risks of Black maternity. These include: The evolution of stereotypes of Black women, with new real-life examples, such as the rise of blackfishing and digital blackface (which help white women rise to fame)The media's continued fascination with Black women's sexuality (as with Cardi B or Megan Thee Stallion).Black women and power and how persistent stereotypes challenge Black women's recent leadership and achievements in activism, community organizing and politics. Interviews with activists and civic leaders and interrogating media coverage and perceptions of Stacey Abrams, Vice President Kamala Harris and others.Debunking vicious misconceptions rooted in long-standing racism, Tamara Winfrey-Harris elevates Black femme voices talking about marriage, motherhood, health, sexuality, beauty, anger, and power and more.   

SISTERS ARE ALRIGHT: Changing the Broken Narrative of Black Women in America, by Tamara Winfrey-Harris, a book that has been described as touchstone of Black Feminist thought, confronts how black women are perceived and how they perceive themselves.

Tamara Winfrey Harris is an American author, columnist and speaker.  She is currently Vice President of Community Leadership and Effective Philanthropy at Central Indiana Community Foundation.  With a B.A. in Journalism from The Greenlee School at Iowa State University, Tami has developed a national reputation for writing about the intersection of race, culture and gender.  She writes a regular column entitled “Some of Us Are Brave” for Bitch Media.  She voices her social analysis and critiques on several other media outlets including NPR’s “Weekend Edition” and Janet Mock’s “So Popular” on MSNBC.com.  Tami has also published a number of pieces in MS. Magazine.  Tami’s first book, “The Sisters are Alright:  Changing the Broken Narrative of Black Women in America” was published in 2015.  In this book, Tami celebrates Black women while simultaneously challenging the stereotypes that American culture has tried to saddled us with.  The books lays out how these stereotypes are damaging and how they play out in our daily functioning.  She courageously delves into how Black bodies are viewed in the United States and why. She has received a number of awards and accolades for this ground breaking work including the Phyllis Wheatley Book Award at The Harlem Book Festival.  She, along with columnist Rochelle Riley and writer DeeshaPhilyaw, is especially proud of having launched “Letters to Black Girls Project.” The goal of this endeavor is to support and inspire Black girls through feminist, anti-racist, body positive, LGBTQ+ positive, anti-respectability politics and pro-Black letters from Black women.This project is designed to counteract the assault on black bodies and to pour into Black girls that they are dynamic and are capable of accomplishing anything. Tami has stated, “Maligning Black women regardless of our personal collective truth is part of American’s DNA.”Tami also has created and facilitates the Black Women’s Writing Society, which meets monthly at the Center for Black Literature and Culture at the Indianapolis Central Library.  Tami narrated “The Journey of the Middle Passage” written by the best-selling author of the book “Wench” written by Dolen Perkins-Valdes.  It is in this work that you will experience the harrowing journey of the first enslaved Africans to Land in America.Tami shares in this episode some of the desires she plans to pursue in the future, which includes becoming a trained Yoga Instructor for Black Bodies.  She also has a number of book topics floating around in her consciousness that she plans to bring to fruition.  Tami can be contacted through her website www.tamarawinfreyharris.com

This episode features a conversation with guest expert Karla Benson Rutten on how to talk about race and difference. Karla works at Girl Scouts River Valleys as the Vice President of Community Engagement, developing strategies to help Girl Scouts be culturally responsive, relevant, and accessible to girls in communities of color. She also founded and runs her own coaching, consulting, and training firm focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Karla is a facilitator and advocate with tons of experience in higher education, diversity, social justice, and sexual violence prevention program development, which are important topics that we know a lot of girls are passionate about. Hannah and Shanna had a great conversation with Karla about representation, trust, building relationships, and how to engage in dialog that will help build your community with people who don't look like you or share your same culture. We'll talk about when we first noticed race and difference, and how it can sometimes be hard to be curious and ask questions about people who are different from ourselves. A lot of what makes it hard comes from things many of us were taught about what is polite or appropriate to talk about, and concepts about race like "colorblindness" that can hinder us from forming relationships with people who are different from us. Our takeaway— Respect, curiosity, and good intent are important and can be helpful tools for starting conversations. They can help us get past feelings of not wanting to say the wrong thing or fear of sounding ignorant. It's all about acknowledging bias, being open, and expanding what we do to grow ourselves. We hope you'll use some of the tools from this episode to start your own conversations. Stay tuned at the end for Would You Rather and Girls Pick! Looking to connect with our podcast team?

Greg Warner is one of Rob Rosenthal's favorite radio writers. He deftly put the "broken narrative" to good use in an episode of his NPR podcast "Rough Translation." In fact he's so good at it, you'd have no idea he was using it. What is the broken narrative? You'll have to listen.
