The Episode:
Conventionally Attractive: What else does the convention govern beside attraction?
Conventionally attractive is just a euphemism for white eurocentric beauty ideals that white people themselves both control and regularly fail (and when they fail it, they shift the goalpost ever in their favor)
-GOP-1s/GLP-1s: A global "rightward" conservative drift coinciding with a boon in the weight loss drug industry, a billion dollar social media attention economy focused mostly on how people look and a concurrent decline in advocacy for Congo, Sudan, Haiti and the ongoing genocidal violence against Black people in this country may be revealing an uglier truth about white supremacy than once thought before.
Who has capital and who doesn’t all wrapped up in who is beautiful or not, another such binary created by the State

Black Midwives Existed Before Doctors and are Still Delivering Us Today ft. Racha
Traditional Midwives were criminalized, exploited and erased, their 1000 year old practices mined to create the field of obstetrics and this marginalization of Black and Indigenous midwives continues today. Learn more about the origins of the Black maternal health crisis in this country and movements to resist it--one birth at a time.
Alternate episode titles:
-We gone be known as the niggas that be crying on here podcast

-Racha owns the only Black owned and operated birthing center in the entire state of Virginia--why is that?
