74: Episode 74: Shea Butter Family Affair - A Seat At The Spades Table

Episode 74: Shea Butter Family Affair - A Seat At the Spades Table Welcome to episode 74 of Shea Butter FC, a podcast by, for and about Black women in soccer. In this episode, we welcome members of Black Support Groups across NWSL and MLS, to have an unfiltered discussion on the ups and downs of being a Black supporter in a predominately white USA soccer space. This is the launch of our programming, Shea Butter Family Affair, that explores the intersection of Black community and supporter culture across soccer . With the help of Jermaine from Miami’s Black Herons, we chop it up  with members of Washington DC’s Rose Room Collective (Doug and Riss) , Chicago’s Black Fires (Jake and Phil) , and members of the American Outlaws (Donald and Eboni) on the importance of community building and connection, to help correct equity and inclusion missteps within the supporter community, and look for paths forwards to continue to bring Black people and other people of color to this beautiful game. Come vibe with our first of many roundtable discussions and take a seat at the Spades Table !As always, like, rate and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform and Follow us on:Twitter - @sheabutterfc Instagram -sheabutterfcJoin our SBFC Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/sbfc_podcastVisit our website, get up to date on episodes and all things SBFC at our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/sheabutterfcSBFC Website:  www.sheabutterfc.comMake sure you follow and support the Black Supporter Groups featured in this episode:Rose Room Collective Twitter: RoseRoomCo  and  Instagram: roseroomcollectiveFollow Riss on Twitter: Riss_Willett and Doug on Twitter: dreyesceronBlack FiresTwitter: fires_black  and Instagram: blackfiressoccerBlack HeronsTwitter: blackheronsutd  and  Instagram: blackheronsutdFollow Jermaine on Twitter: blacksoccerdocSupport Black Herons’ Podcast, Dreaming of Freedom on Twitter: FreedomDreamsBH and Instagram: dreamingoffreedompodFollow the Legendary  Eboni Christmas Twitter: EboniC25 and support her podcast Walking 90 Twitter: walkin90podFollow the Legendary Donald Wine Twitter: blazindw and support his podcast on Twitter:  USASoccercast Much love and appreciation to KC Nevijay for letting us use some of his beats and mixes within this episode and many of our episodes.
