Back and always better! Excited to share that this week’s episode features not only one but three guests. Kristen, Syd and Khyraa spare no punches, as we dive into the societal implications of colorism and why Oprah's Light Girls was trash. This is an issue that cannot go unresolved, as we continue to see darker skin actresses typecasted in films like The Help or passed up for roles. Also, we can all agree that a 4-day work week should be adopted by all companies post-COVID.   Follow all of my beautiful guests on Instagram @sydneyoreoluwa @queen.khy @iamlizzyharris321. They all have endeavors launching soon, so don’t miss out!   If you haven’t already, make sure to follow the podcast on Instagram and Facebook @AnnoyedNotOffended. https://linktr.ee/AnnoyedNotOffended  Let me judge your annoyances both big and small to see if you should be annoyed or offended.

This week we return to discuss black lives matter, whose doing too much (black folks or white folks), women and our “emotional guards”, taming our traumas, and the OWN Network series “Light Girls”. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This week, the subject of racism is addressed along with black lives matter, if black and white people are doing too much, women keeping their guards up too high, managing our trauma, and the OWN Network series "Light Girls"

Minor thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé before the 90 Days. The Couples tell all and the Challenge. Also my thoughts on the documentaries called Dark Girls and Light Girls and a prayer against colorism.

Although 5 years late, KayTheRebel wanted to voice her thoughts on Bill Duke's documentary "Light Girls". The episode began with her sharing an anecdote regarding a time she witnessed colorism without realizing it as a freshman in high school. She felt the question "What are you" sometimes makes things go south and that it leads to unintended tones/remarks especially when someone is mixed/biracial. Her overall opinion on colorism is that it's probably never going to end and that we should probably stop saying that people "act" light skin.

This week Courtney and Earl discuss colorism and loving the skin you’re in, with two amazing guests!

Director Bill Duke released his latest documentary entitled Light Girls. The doc was his follow up to his initial film, Dark Girls, which aired on the OWN network back in 2013. His goal it seems with these documentries are to delve into the issue of colorism within the black community. However, we're puzzled about how colorism can be discussed without mentioning the white elephant in the room--namely white supremacy. With Guest, Dr Yaba Blay, professor, producer, and author of (1) Drop: Shifting the Lens on Race.
