GOLD ranger👑🥇🏆 :

Yea no shade but I kinda don’t wanna hear from lighskin black women in politics 💀

Trulyaims :

I know we don’t want to hear it but this is another recession indicator. It’s not enough money to go around…meanwhile our own President [Innocent]

WhyAreWeHere :

Jack and Jill alum here, I’m actually Haitian and I truly believe that’s one of the reasons I was able to survive them. It’s the Superiority Olympics

patricem08 :

Mayor Mamdani was an elected State Legislator in NY prior to being the Mayor of NYC. That certainly counts as experience.

Simplytamikah :

I thought I was the only one that felt like this was a respectability politics issue. It rubbed me the wrong way.

Monica - OyeMoni Livin’ :

I once hired an organizer - and we did electoral and direct lobbying and mobilizing - who did not have a college degree. She was from the community most impacted and she was beyond excellent. Caring, smart, insightful, invested in the outcome and her community. I may have been her boss but she became my teacher. I quickly captured that my job was to hold leadership at bay so she could do her thing.

TheeSkinBoss | CLT Esthetician :

Olivia Pope realness

Jalina | Confidence Creator 🧿 :

I’m Jack and Jill but definitely not like that at all. One of the other commenters mentioned names…and can confirm there are so many other black women in politics/media just like her. Very toxic. Not me though. I wish I wasn’t part of the few of us who welcome all of us.

hnn :

I remember I was sharing a bunch of videos from creators like Danielle To You, Black Belt Barbie etc. remarking on how creative their platforms are, they studied TV/News and know how to use catchphrases, humour etc. that can’t be taught unless you have decades of experience. But instead of uplifting you’re denying access? Childish.

laziness.is.a.social.construct :

My intuition is always on point. I’ve barely watched a full clip of hers and she always gave me weird vibes. Wow.

nakita_alicia :

💯! I remember Kwame Brown called her & a few of them out back in 2021.

Dominique Ulloa :

Team Angela

MidnightSnack1990 :

What I do know is we have way too many unqualified people who lack range on podcast, having bad faith conversations about real life issues. We do need to hone in on that, but to tell people they can’t talk about something because they don’t have a degree or work experience in this or that setting is kind of wild.

Gen X lowkey
