I Can't Fux With You! Confessions of An Uppity Black Woman
Welcome to I Can’t Fux With You: Confessions of an Uppity Black Woman where I, Osato, walk you through all the things I no longer fux with once I have fully accepted my role as an Uppity Black Woman living in America. And what is an Uppity Black Woman you may ask? An Uppity Black Woman is a Woman who has invested in herself, yet the world tells her she is nothing. The world wants her to behave as if she has not invested in herself and she says: “Guess, what I.CAN’T.FUX.WITH.YOU.NO.MORE!” If you are an Uppity Black Woman or if you are curious as to what Uppity Black Women think about, this show is for you. So sit back and enjoy the ride!
