On today's episode, we are discussing multifaceted writer, media personality, and cultural commentator, Sesali Bowen's memoir/manifesto, “Bad Fat Black Girl: Notes from a Trap Feminist”. Bowen was Senior Entertainment Editor at NYLON magazine and one of the architects of Refinery29's Unbothered. She is the creator, producer, and co-host of Purse First, the podcast about the female and queer rap. And some of her works has appeared in Cosmopolitan, New York Times, and other outlets. Publisher's Summary Bowen rose to the top of hip-hop journalism thanks to her passion for trap music, where she profiled musicians like Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, and Janelle Monae who changed the game. Bowen observed a lot of beauty, intricacy, and all-around badassery, but she discovered that mainstream feminism did not reflect any of that complexity. As a result, she coined the term ‘Trap Feminism', a modern paradigm that questions how feminism interacts with contemporary hip-hop. For the contemporary world, Bad Fat Black Girl presents a fresh, inclusive feminism. Bowen examines misogyny, fatphobia, and capitalism in the context of race and hip-hop, weaving together her life experiences and cultural critique.

Kimbella confronts Juelz about his addiction. The hosts are joined by Refinery 29’s Sesali Bowen to discuss Cardi B’s breakup and all of the drama.
Refinery29 entertainment writer Sesali Bowen has been cultivating her voice as an authority on pop culture through the unique lens of being a self-described fat black queer woman and trap feminist. Born and raised in Chicago and a previous campus organizer for Planned Parenthood, Sesali never thought it was possible to turn her writing hobby into a career path, but not only has she done just that, she's helping to shape a powerful new view of the young feminist voice.
