Emotionally Correct: A Hilarious DEIA Podcast

In this episode, it's our post 2024 election conversation.

Meet your hosts: Cherise, a witty White woman with a knack for overthinking, and Kelton, a charming Black man who brings humor and heart to navigating other people’s emotions. Together, they form the dynamic and hilarious duo behind “Emotionally Correct: A Hilarious DEIA Podcast.” In each episode, Cherise and Kelton dive into the often-tricky world of Emotionally Intelligent Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EIDEIA, see what we did there?) while keeping it light, relatable, and genuinely funny. From awkwardly confronting their own biases to making fun of the challenges of authentic cross-racial friendships, Cherise and Kelton’s lively banter shows that even tough conversations can come with a side of humor. Their unique perspectives—Cherise’s experience as a criminal legal reform advocate and recovering White savior whose emotional regulation is suspect and Kelton’s expertise in mental health—create a playful yet thoughtful dynamic. Kelton’s candid insights on race and identity often balance with Cherise’s comedic takes on self-awareness, and the two aren’t afraid to lovingly poke fun at each other’s ideas and experiences. Whether they’re role-playing the worst possible ways to handle cultural misunderstandings or breaking down complex topics like intersectionality in laughably simple terms, they always keep the mood fun and engaging.Perfect for educators, advocates, or anyone wanting to grow emotionally while enjoying genuine laughs, “Emotionally Correct” proves that even the heaviest topics can be tackled with grace, wit, and humor.
