Pretty Prissy Chronicles

In this episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth continues the conversation by exploring the deeper question behind response, urgency, and attention. When situations arise, not every story is handled the same—and those differences can shape outcomes in ways we don’t always talk about. From delayed reactions to disparities in visibility and support, this episode examines what it means when protection feels inconsistent—and why that matters. This isn’t about comparison, it’s about awareness because when response isn’t the same…outcomes aren’t either.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-prissy-chronicles--5754878/support.

They said something was wrong…but no one listened. In this episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth shifts the conversation from isolated cases to a deeper pattern—one that continues to impact Black women across the United States. From delayed responses to limited media coverage, this episode explores what happens when urgency doesn’t come in time…and why. This is not about fear—it’s about awareness. It’s about recognizing the signs, questioning the patterns, and understanding the real-life impact behind the silence. These aren’t just stories, these are lives and they deserved to be seen, heard, and protected.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-prissy-chronicles--5754878/support.

She stayed. She forgave. She endured. And in the end…he still left. In this episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth unpacks the hard truth behind loyalty, forgiveness, and the pressure—especially in faith and marriage—to stay no matter what. From repeated betrayal to the belief that endurance guarantees love, this conversation challenges everything we’ve been taught about commitment and self-worth.

When schools close, it’s never just about buildings—it’s about people.

At what point did “submission” stop meaning partnership…and start feeling like silence? In this bold and thought-provoking episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth Anumele takes a deeper look at the intersection of faith, culture, and power—specifically how messaging around women, voice, and leadership is showing up in today’s church. Not everything we’ve been taught…started as truth. Some things were repeated, reinforced, and accepted—without question. So now we have to ask: •What is actually scripture…and what is cultural interpretation? •Why does “submission” sometimes feel one-sided? •And are women being spiritually guided…or quietly minimized? This isn’t about attacking faith. It’s about understanding it because real faith should bring clarity—not confusion.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-prissy-chronicles--5754878/support.

Episode 50…and we’re doing something different. For this milestone episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth steps into a new storytelling lane—one that is haunting, thought-provoking, and still unsolved decades later. In June 1992, three women—a mother, her daughter, and her daughter’s best friend—went to sleep in a home that was supposed to be safe. By morning…they were gone. No signs of struggle. No forced entry. No clear explanation. Just silence. In this cinematic and chilling episode, we walk through the story of the Springfield Three—who they were, what happened that night, and the unsettling questions that still remain unanswered. But this isn’t just about what happened…It’s about what it represents. The fragility of safety. The weight of not knowing and the kind of mystery that doesn’t fade with time. Sometimes the scariest stories…are the ones that never get an ending.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-prissy-chronicles--5754878/support.

For years, Black women have been called the backbone of democracy. We show up. We organize. We vote. We mobilize communities and election after election, the numbers prove it. Here’s the question nobody wants to ask out loud: Why are Black women always expected to save the system while the system rarely shows up for us? In this episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth Anumele is speaking directly to Black women about the growing frustration with being told how to vote, who to support, and when to “fall in line.” From political pressure to perform loyalty, to candidates who assume our votes are automatic without doing the work to earn them—this conversation digs into the reality many Black women are feeling but don’t always hear discussed openly. This episode also addresses the current conversations around candidates seeking support from Black women voters while offering little engagement, policy focus, or accountability to the communities they expect to carry them to victory. Let’s be clear: Black women are not political mules. Our votes are powerful. Our voices matter…and automatic loyalty is no longer guaranteed. If candidates want the support of Black women voters, the message is simple: Show us the work. Show us the policy. Show us the respect. 🎙️ Tune in for a candid conversation about political expectations, voter accountability, and why more Black women are demanding real representation before offering their support.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-prissy-chronicles--5754878/support.

In this special MLK Edition of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth goes beyond soundbites and quotes to reflect on the real weight of the dream — the emotional labor, the exhaustion, the boundaries, and the humanity behind justice work. Honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., this episode explores what it means to carry hope in a world where the work is unfinished.
