Hyphenated Lives

On this week’s episode of Hyphenated*, Kari and Chuks momentarily squeal about Lupita’s PEOPLE Most Beautiful Cover before moving onto Rihanna. Rihanna, Rihanna, Rihanna: where do we begin? Not only does the Queen of Cool set international trends of fashion, music, and culture, people’s reactions to her reveal a lot about society’s expectations for proper womanhood and Black womanhood. For this week’s asks, we answer an ask from noir97 about the Peace Corps, an anonymous ask about racism in K-pop, an ask from valentine about Green Peace, and hamselves’ two cents about Eleanor & Park.
