Ep 381. Obama + Black Men, Tyra + Black Dandies

This week, Antoinette updates us on her birthday and thanks the listeners for showing her love while Shanti fills us in on her weekend with Stevie Wonder. We have a check-in on how we're feeling about the upcoming election and discuss the current backlash for President Obama by exploring the nuances of political identity and voter expectations, particularly concerning Kamala Harris and the Democratic party's approach to Black voters. Finally, per a listener's request, we attempt to discuss Safari and Erica Mena but don't know what we're talking about, so we quickly pivot to Victoria Secret being damned if they do and damned if they don't and delve into (what will surely be tricky) the upcoming Dandyism Met Gala highlighting the intersection of politics and pop culture, and how public figures navigate media landscapes and societal expectations.
