The Patriarchy of Colorism: A Psychological War Against Dark and Light Skin Black Women
Tuesday, 23 June, 2020
On Saturday, June 20th at 11am EST, we will be coming with a discussion on COLORISM. "If you black, get back. If you brown, stick around. If you yellow, you mellow. And if you white, you alright." How many of us grew up hearing this from the oldheads? While the parable isn't as popular today, the sentiment is just as loud in our music, film, schools, and homes. Parents playing favorites, being proud of lighter skin children, checking the baby's ears to see if they would get any darker, and the preference for lighter skin figures in pop culture iconography. We're going to lay out on the table what it is and how it hurts everyone. Our dope panel includes cafe aut lait queen Aquiah Ma’at (Omitola Iyalaje), who is a renowned author, actress, and a fully initiated Olorisha to various Orisha “Divinities”. She is the Nene Umale (Queen Mother) at the Olokaigbe Priesthood/Temple, where she is part of a very special class of priests known as the Olookan, who use their high sense of intuition and direction connection to the Orisha to perform general life readings. Using her expertise she helps guide those seeking self empowerment and spiritual development, thus fulfilling her destiny as a “Path Finder”. Our bronze goddess Ashaki Omikunle Ali is a registered nurse, healer, writer, artist, intuitive empath, herbalist, Reiki Master, and owner of Divine Soul. Wilda Previl, the cocoa creme empress, is a transformational coach who uses astrology to help women identify and heal self-sabotage. She created Trapstrology to help you get off the roller coasters and finally step into the life the cosmos uniquely designed for you. Our golden lady of the gate Cheryl Hodges is a Brooklyn born, College Park raised real estate extraordinaire and conjurer. Sweet as pecan pie Rish de Terra is a roots woman who founded The 9 Minds Radio Show and authored the e-book Root Babies: Healing Our Children with Baths, Teas, & Recipes. #blackwomen #healing #community #resources #mentalhealth #podcast #thelastwordwithnef #sweetwatercollective #motherwound #revolution #power #podcast #blackpodcaster
