Episode notes
In this podcast series, three Black women will be interviewed and given space to state their anger. A transgenerational approach will be used to give voice to a Black woman in her 20s, 40s, and 60s to express an answer to a simple question: What makes you angry? Its intention is not to judge or critique; instead, the foremost goal is to listen and learn. The first episode of this series highlights Lotoya Francis, a Cornell University student in her 20s, who shares her poem Angry Black Girl Alert. The poem speaks on the strained relationship between Black women and Black men, a source of Lotoya’s anger. In essence, it sets the stage for a broader discussion on a lack of protection for Black women, Black masculinity, and a number of other aspects plaguing the community a whole.
