The Cost of Legibility

from Sylly

Welcome back to Sylly, a podcast for the curious and critical. We’re your hosts, Mbiye Kasonga and Tembe Denton-Hurst. This week we’re thinking about legibility and what it costs us, as human beings and more specifically, as Black women. To investigate we dove into two primary texts. Tembe brought Sula to the table (again), and Mbiye analyzed a TikTok by kadencecentana, which asks the question—is content creation the new hoop dreams? (yes).As always, if there’s anything you want us to talk about on the pod during our office hours, email at: [email protected]. Thanks for listening.For a full list of the books we discussed, check us out on Substack. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
