I know today may feel difficult and scary with all its uncertainty. I truly hope this helps.

Today's Mantra:

Grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

I missed you all! This episode is made especially for you all. I know that 2020 has impressed us to view ourselves differently. This week, have a drink with me, and let's be truthful about building walls vs establishing healthy boundaries. Honorable mentions: https://feministcoalition2020.com/

Are you looking to buy a gun or want to learn how to use a gun? Have you heard of the NRA? But have you heard of the NAAGA (National African American Gun Associaton

Today I spoke with Jazmine Forte of Dallas, TX who is a gun owner and a casual advocate for gun ownership. So as this though has been on my mind, I knew she would be the best person to discuss gun ownership for Black People and Women in America. We all know the second amendment. It gives US citizens the right to bear arms. Written in 1776 it may have been necessary. However, in 2020, I don’t think we have the same issues of home invasion that we had in the 16th century.

Show Notes & Mentions:

That is right! I know you can't get enough of Tea for the Queen so I've decided to give a little more to my listeners and loyal supporters. 

Navigating 2020 is strange enough. Trying to do get through this year as a single person may add another layer of newfound obstacles.  With an 82%  rise in Dating App usage,  many singles are finding connections through long conversations and Zoom Dates. Friend of the show, Tiffany, shares her interesting success story with dating during the pandemic. She even turned the seat and began interviewing me! 

“What is happening Nigeria is also happening in Ferguson”

This is one of my favorite episodes as a podcaster. Nifemi and I have a discussion about feminism,  the power of black women in community, and our favorite feminists. 

Afrikana Feminism a course and a movement that Nifemi has determined to be her way to bridge the experiences of feminism across the entire African Diaspora.

As a woman of African descent, Nifemi has always been interested in how to re-theorize feminism; this is why she created Afrikana Feminism, which is not just an online course, but also an experimental movement. Nifemi have always been curious about what other womxn of African descent are organizing, and how to also raise our feminist consciousness through the lives of womxn of African descent like Wangari Maathai, Leymah Gbowee and many more who have engaged in different social movements, but are not widely known. She is starting a dialogue between Black and African feminism(s). She is working to understand what it means to exist in-between particularly being an immigrant and what constitutes the African diaspora. I wanted to raise questions and have conversations with my students about what it means to be Black and African and what Blackness means to people in Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt etc. She knows many African feminists from West Africa but was curious to understand how African women were organizing particularly after the Post Arab Spring in North Africa. She also wants to reimagine the framework of Afrikana Feminism and Sustainable Development.
