Dating is a Class Issue. Class Doesn't Secure Love. Artwork

Funding is the Matter

Funding is the Matter is a podcast that talks about the surplus of issues caused by the racial wealth gap. I tackle different science and policy issues on the local, state, and federal levels. Within each section, I am going to have a policy memo episode. A policy memo is a document that provides analysis and/or recommendations for a particular audience regarding a particular situation or problem. This is a podcast to educate and empower us all to take our future into our own hands. For the first series, I am going to be investigating the lack of funds for Historically Black Colleges and Universities or HBCUs.This podcast proves to define that Black Lives Matter is a scientific and social problem.To subscribe to this podcast, you can find it on Spotify, Apple, or other podcast platforms. This is a bi-weekly podcast, and it will be released on July 25th.

Dating is a Class Issue. Class Doesn't Secure Love.

April 25, 2025 • Sarah Michelle Lee Bartley Productions • Season 2 • Episode 2

In today's episode, I will be going over dating within the Black Elite from the Gilded Age to our current dating problems. I am going to detail how our dating problems are connected to class. Class isn't a guarantee a healthy romantic partnership. In the pop culture segment, I am going to detail Sabrina Carpeter's dating drama and the connections to parasocial relationships.
