1. Episode 5, Part 1: Weekly Discussion (Beyoncé’s Feminism & New Album) In this week’s discussion, BlackinAsia and unapologetically-yellow discuss Beyoncé’s surprise album, Beyoncé, and the feminism she embodies in this work. There is a lot to love about the album (x, x, x, x, x, x, x), and we discuss some of the problematic aspects of the album as well (x, x, x). Will white people and other people who aren’t black women willfully misinterpret Beyoncé? What does this album mean for the world as a manifesto for black American womanhood?
