Stay In The Sun

Stay In The Sun is a bi-weekly audio series from the POV of two Caribbean American M.S.W. (Master's of Social Work) millennials Toni (@FatBlackLuxury) and Alexis (@FromAlexisNicole) who met while working on behalf of Black and Brown women & femmes. After building sisterhood, engaging in much needed turn ups, culture dialogue, and shared truths, Toni and Alexis decided to share these thoughts and create a space for some Black girl politicking and joy. Listen as Toni and Alexis give culturally responsive commentary on news, music, politics, current events, scholarship, and whatever our personal lives throw at us. In each episode we’ll dive into aspects of our identities and will engage in conversation on what it’s like navigating life as a Black millennial. There will be plenty of laughs, cultural colloquialisms, and guests who will be able to provide more to the conversation.Hopefully you'll grow with us and we'll grow with you!

Stay In The Sun

[Episode 27] Unpack It Neow.

August 18, 2021 • Stay In The Sun

The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. In this episode of Stay In the Sun, we are unpacking it NEOW. This episode we discuss the ways free Black people often intimidate other Black people who can't begin to imagine that freedom for themselves. To dismantle where we've been and institutions, we have to first acknowledge we have colonized minds. We can not continue to help white supremacy and patriarchy do the erasing for us. As we discuss these topics of unpacking, we center faptphobia and racism impacting Lizzo in the industry as well as the remix of Essence by WizKid & Tems and what it means to gatekeep Black diasporic culture. We also honor and send thoughts and prayers to our Haitian siblings, brothers, and sisters as we share resources and unpack the history of this great Black country. Join us and please share with us what you are getting free from. What are you committing to unpack?
