Hyphenated Lives

In Episode 10, unapologetically-yellow and BlackinAsia discuss the amazingness of Queen Lupita. Lupita has been slaying the awards circuit for 12 Years a Slave, from the fashion to her acceptance speeches where she directly calls out white supremacy. Unfortunately, white supremacy has been fetishsizing her and her career trajectory is yet to be seen. We also discuss SNL’s inclusion of a Black female cast member, Nigeria’s anti-gay law, Justin Bieber's arrest; and a K-pop group wanting to be known as “Black Kids” and “Black Freedom.” We answer asks from jaddasroots about body positivity and the negative effects of obesity and notkingkong about a white friend who insists on proving her point.
