Summary

"I love being chocolate. Our skin melts into a melanin pool of smoothness. The sun kisses our skin only to rest its warm texture upon us, draping us in a glow that is like no other! Us chocolate beings are guardians of all things beauty. From our lips to our curly hair, we are majestic. We are sensational. I am smart, I am courageous, I am funny, I am angelic, I am black, I am chocolate." Am I a pretty? Am I all things beautiful, handsome and all in between? On this episode of Chocolate: The Podcast we discuss Colorism and beauty standards. ~ Chocolate Reading: Author: George.

Princess Isla discovers a magic room in her new castle, and sets off on adventures around her kingdom, the world, and the galaxy.The podcast comes from the real Isla's bedtime routine. One night, I put my head on hers and pretended to hear her dream while she feigned sleep. I've been telling her dreams every night since. The magic room has been an ongoing dream for six months. Isla provides the key story elements and I improvise a quick story.Music by Alan Spiljak.soundcloud.com/alanspiljak Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/themagicroom/support The View from Here Noël McKelvey With a lifetime of experiences from the classroom to the middle of the night chocolate fixes, Noël brings humor and creativity to this podcast.
