The internet loves Black women... but only when we’re entertaining, dancing, or fitting into a specific box. The moment we advocate for ourselves, show emotion, or step out of line, we’re labeled aggressive, ungrateful, or worse.

In this episode, I break down how social media platforms profit from our presence while punishing us. From the erasure of our voices to the double standards in beauty, dating, and content creation. We’re unpacking the uncomfortable truth behind how Black women are treated online.

The “Pick Me” era is far from over, in fact, it’s thriving in new ways. In this video, we dive into the rise of performative femininity, internalized misogyny, and how Gen Z women are unintentionally (or very intentionally) carrying the torch. From TikTok trends to podcast takes, we break down how patriarchy is being repackaged and sold back to us through aesthetics, dating advice, and “high-value woman” culture. Let’s talk about how we got here, what it says about society, and why it’s time to shift the narrative.

💔 Love Island has a race problem and it’s time we talk about it. From the constant sidelining of dark-skinned Black women to the rise of the surgically enhanced “Instagram face,” this video breaks down how colorism, Eurocentric beauty standards, and racial bias shape who gets chosen, who gets loved, and who gets left behind.

We’re unpacking:

▪️ The pattern of Black women always being picked last

▪️ Why light-skinned and racially ambiguous women are framed as "diverse enough"

▪️ The cosmetic surgery pipeline from filler to fashion deals

▪️ Who really benefits from these beauty standards and who’s erased by them

▪️ How Love Island reflects real-world dating dynamics and racial desirability politics

🎥 This isn’t just about reality TV. It’s about how racism and colorism show up in the everyday politics of love, beauty, and worth.
