Ep 273. Do We Need Black Men? Jul 13, 2023

Show notes

This week, we get provocative & discuss whether or not we “need” men. Inspired by Megan Thee Stallion’s proclamation at Essence Fest- “We don’t need men. We want ya’ll, but we don’t need ya’ll” - we dissect the statement and share our interpretations of “need” vs “want”. Finally, we explore & acknowledge what deeper wounds may be the source of our gender wars.

"Platonic love, romantic love. It's all building community."
"I just want Black women to be properly loved."
"The older I get, the more I feel self-love is the answer to everything."
