Strong Black Women

What role does the construction of Strong Black Women have in breaking other stereotypes of Black women, such as the Jezebel, the Mammy and the Sapphire?

In a conversation with Ashia Troiano '11, Sylvia Boateng '11 and Sable Mensah '11 (commenting on what strong means in the context of Strong Black Women) and Erika Slaymaker '11 (commenting on white middle-class consumption and assumed engagement), Kiss My Sass Radio discusses the song "What Would You Do?" by City High -- #8 on the charts in 2001.

Interview with Raquel Rivera

Womanist & Empowering? Or Just Another Degradation of Black Women?

For those of you unfamiliar with Kiss My Sass Radio, it is a radio show hosted by me (Sable Mensah '11) and a friend (Sylvia Boateng '11). Every week we have a segment called Pop Reality: You Think You Know, But You Have No Idea, where we invite a guest star to talk about the lyrics, videos and personas that go into a current Top 40 song.

Two weeks ago, the focus of KMS Radio's (Pop 101 with an Honors Twist) Pop Reality was Love, Sex, Magic by Ciara and Justin Timberlake and Eva McKend '11 was our guest host. An anomynous caller provided some differing viewpoints.

Both McKend and anomynous addressed desireablility, sexualization of Black women and power dynamics in very different ways and I encourage you to let us know what you think in the comments section or via email: SpeakInSpeakOUT@gmail.com

The show starts about 6 minutes and 20 seconds into the podcast. Enjoy!
