White Girl Magic
In this week's episode, we offer insight on how to deal with white women tendencies (aka "Karen") to push the "angry black woman" narrative for professional black women. We also discuss how white women utilize their #whiteprivilege for their own benefit. From being labeled as "aggressive" or "combative" or "harsh" for just being a professional woman of color in the workplace, we provide key strategies on how to overcome the "angry black woman" stereotype and the traumatic psychological violence it brings.
But truly, who is the real "magical" one?
