Episode 36: Nicolandria, Black Girl Magic, and Changing the Cultural Tides

Keeping an eye on the culture is a great way to assess how we’re doing as a society. We at No Boundaries, the podcast, love to keep an eye on reality TV like Love Island USA, to see what conversations are happening and which stars are moving the needle. Like, for Olandria to have all this support even after her season ended is unheard of to me. She’s an IT girl! And this week, we’re talking to another IT girl to discuss culture and her own experience as a Black woman living in America. Remy is a Native New Yorker of Nigerian descent. She has a passion for activism, pop culture, and cinematography. In her day-to-day, she works in healthcare, connecting patients with community resources. After hours, Remy takes to social platforms, such as TikTok, to engage with a larger digital community in relation to various topics - including reality TV shows, news reports, and her random diary entries. She finds joy in “yapping” with others about whatever thought comes to mind. This week, we’re talking about Nicolandria updates, Black Girl Magic, and changing the cultural tides. I want to say that things have gotten better from generation to generation. My daughter's generation has more positive representation than I did, more access to education, and more role models to look up to. Olandria's experience on Love Island has changed the cultural tides of what Black women should expect from their loved ones, and we are so excited to see her continue to thrive. Join Remy and me for more on pop culture and embracing our blackness on No Boundaries, the podcast. Enjoy!
