Episode 03: Let's Discuss Misogynoir
Photo By: Shots By Priiincesss
Have you ever heard of misogynoir? I hadn’t until I listened to an episode of one of my favorite podcasts, Carefree and Black Diaries hosted by Shaakira White. In October of 2019 Shaakira did a series during the month of October which she called Blacktober. During that time she highlighted various topics that affect the Black community and one of the topics she covered was misogynoir. When I heard Shaakira introduce this topic I was instantly intrigued. Since that time I've been reading about the topic itself, as well as, some of the conversations and discussions that have taken place since the term was first introduced. Right now some of us are still under Stay-At-Home orders, so we are still practicing social distancing. However, we know that as humans we are hardwired for connection. Many of us are feeding our need for connection through regular phone calls or video chats with our friends and family members. Learning new topics and engaging in conversations, whether in-person or virtually, are an integral part of enhancing our intellectual wellness.
In this episode we’ll discuss:
What is intellectual wellness?
What is misogynoir?
Examples of misogynoir
Tips to help us heal from the effects of misogynoir
