When Someone Else’s Life Starts Affecting Yours

from This Is Where I’m At | Honest Conversations on Womanhood, Motherhood and Becoming · host Alyshia Miller - Powell

Why do we say “women support women” and then spend the rest of the year competing, comparing, and tearing each other down?In this episode Alyshia gets honest about where the competition between women actually comes from. From the modeling industry in New York, London and Denmark where there was literally only one spot for a Black woman in the room to our friendships, our workplaces, and our social media feeds. The programming runs deep. But it was never ours to carry.We talk about the jokes that aren’t really jokes. The backhanded compliments. The friend who couldn’t celebrate you. And what real sisterhood actually looks like when we finally choose it over competition.This is not a “women are the worst” episode. This is a “we deserve so much better than what we were taught” conversation.
