Ayesha:To Be Young, Anxious, Female and Black.

Grit & Grace

A comment Ayesha Curry made on Monday's episode of Red Table Talk has made her the subject of endless memes and tweets — both in criticism and in support. The fallout from her interview with the women of Red Table Talk came in response to an admission she made of feeling insecure about the disproportionate attention she receives from men against the attention her husband, NBA star Steph Curry, receives from women. This Episode touches on the intersections Light-skinned Privilege, Colorism, Classism, Sexism and Racism. We navigate how the upholding of Black Female Gender Tropes makes it difficult for Black Women to share insecurity and vulnerability without being consumed by Whiteness or lameness in the process. If you have Anxiety please reach out to a Counselor, Therapist or Licensed Medical Professional. The social commentary here is in no way meant to substitute a medical service. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gritandgrace/support
