Embark on a journey with us as Christelyn Karazin, the brain behind the "Pink Pill," returns to dissect the unique struggles and triumphant stories of Black women charting new territories in relationships. We're pulling back the curtains on the societal and cultural challenges they face, from the stigmas attached to being 'relationship refugees' to the pressures of navigating intercultural dating. Our conversation promises to illuminate the audacious path Black women are carving out in their quest for equanimity in love, alongside the resistance they often encounter within their own communities.The tides are turning for Generation X Black women, and we're here to celebrate the wave of 'black girl luxury' and the pursuit of the 'soft life'. It's more than just a tagline; it's a burgeoning ethos that Black women are wholeheartedly embracing. Yet, with this shift comes a complex interplay of empowerment and vulnerability. Christelyn shares poignant tales that underscore the necessity for discernment and self-care as Black women approach the crossroads of personal success and relational bliss, and the backlash they may face for defying conventional expectations.Finally, we revel in the power of allyship and the unwavering spirit of Black women as they break through barriers. We highlight the Pink Pill's role in bolstering self-assurance and creating a sanctuary of support. Plus, we shine a light on Christelyn's latest endeavor, Watered Body Care — a skincare haven for women with deeper and mature skin tones. Her dedication to fostering holistic self-care exemplifies the episode's heart: uplifting confidence, care, and choice in every facet of life for Black women.

Send us a Text Message.Join the conversation with Christelyn Karazin, a celebrated author whose poignant reflections on her book "Swirling" spark an essential dialogue about the pressures black women face in the realm of relationships and society's expectations. Diving into the heart of the issue, we dissect the backlash she received, which brings to light the concept of communal narcissism and how it perpetuates the control and subjugation of black women. The conversation ventures beyond personal anecdotes, delving into the historical and societal factors that have cultivated these dynamics, and the courage it takes for individuals to stand against collective pressures.The narrative deepens as we confront the stark challenges that come with marriage, single parenthood, and the ugly reality of reproductive coercion. We open up about our own journeys, punctuating the conversation with the real-life implications of the "strong black woman" stereotype and the subsequent neglect of black women's health needs. This chapter peels back layers of expectation and control, revealing how these forces shape the treatment of sons and daughters differently within the black community and how systemic violence against black women and children often goes underreported and unaddressed.As we wrap up this profound exchange, we cast a critical eye on the Black Manosphere and its role in shaping harmful narratives around black women through influential figures who gain followers by perpetuating negativity and control. The episode doesn't shy away from discussing the complexities of interracial relationships, the educational and income disparities within the black community, and the skewed societal norms that black women navigate. Sincere thanks to Christelyn for her invaluable insights and to our listeners for engaging in this vital conversation, reminding us of the importance of community engagement and the collective effort required to bring these critical issues into the spotlight.

  I've been friends and a fan (fran?) of Christelyn Russell-Karazin for a long time. A mom of two, freelance writer and founder of BeyondBlackAndWhite.com, Christelyn has impressed/shocked me with her razor-sharp stance on interracial relationships. A black woman married to a white man, who also had an unplanned baby with a black man, she is adamant that women of color find love, marriage and family men they deserve -- regardless of race.  What sets Christelyn's blog apart from any other voice on race -- aside from the astonishing interaction with readers -- is that in her smart and sharp voice, she admonishes everyone brands, the media, Washington and black men and women alike for their stance on race, relationships and policy. She gets pissed off, takes a stand and says front-and-center what trolls typically post in the comments section. In between posts about beauty products, her garden and love stories about interracial couples, recent topics include criticizing a black woman for suing her boyfriend for messing up her hair in the pool;  being irate that only light-skinned, straight-haired women of color are considered beautiful, and her own on-point take about the recent conviction of a white police officer for raping black women. In this episode Christelyn schools me on the pressures successful black women face to marry within their race -- including from the church -- and shares her own journey from being an unmarried mom with what appeared to be the perfect black man, to meeting and falling in love with a white catholic guy from waspy Westport, Conn. (a "Wasc" she calls him). She dissects the layers of interracial relationships, including why it is more acceptable for a black man to date a white woman than the other way around, and let's me know that my question about white men having black-women fetishes is racist.  Have a listen, check out BeyondBlackAndWhite.com, thank me later.

By now most of us have heard the statistic - 72% of all African American children are born to unwed mothers which is a rate that eclipses every other ethnic group in our country. Are you thinking that it is not your problem? Well think again. According to the National Fatherhood Initiative's report, "100 Billion Dollar Man", the federal government spends $99.8 BILLION dollars a year on fatherlessness in America. This includes money spent on child support enforcement, Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This economic and ethnic crisis has been described as a cancer that is eating away at the fabric of our communities. Christelyn Karazin, a social activist and creator of the campaign, “No Wedding, No Womb”, will be our guest as we talk about ways to educate and eradicate this disease. Christelyn is the founder of BeyondBlackandWhite.com, a black women's empowerment and relationship site, and a writer for such publications as Woman's Day, Better Homes and Gardens, Ebony/Jet.com, Pregnancy Magazine, Reuters News Service and many more.
