I love these three women deeply. So appreciative to get to see this joining of minds on the topic of intersectionality. These conversations are necessary. ❤
These women are so beautiful! I love Fran!
Saved and waiting patiently ❤🙌🏾
Shameless!!! It’s the full episode ❤️
I heard that shout-out from Fran!
Grateful for this conversation
This was great. I appreciate the specifics in each conversation. The Mented Cosmetics CEO was amazing , she discussed very real issues and helping entrepreneurs develop realistic expectations.
I love this!
Loved this ♥️
Love them!!
❤ thank you all for this
So proud of ya'll this is amazing!
I just love this! Love you Fran!
Amazing conversation. Nearly 15 years ago in undergrad, I studied Women’s Studies with a minor in Black Feminist Theory. My life changed when I was introduced to the Intersectionality framework and have built my career on serving black women and children. I’m happy to experience my favorite content creators and ecosystem (😉) further the work of Kimberlé Crenshaw. Ladies, thanks for creating space for us.
I learned a lot watching this. It put a word to how I was feeling growing up and how I'm still feeling. Much needed conversation. Thank y'all ❤️
Ok but I’m loving the outro music. I feel like Fran picked this❤❤❤❤
Know me 🤣❤
Such a good conversation 👏🏾 it brought back nostalgia for me when I used to take black feminist thought in undergrad! Hope to see more dialogue like this from you all in the future bc y’all were on it!
Don’t the ladies look beautiful!! Super excited for this series
I resonate w Dr.Tykeia. My cousins would call me white because I lived right outside the city and I spoke properly. I was 1 of 3 black students in an all white middle school. At school it was like I was always seen but never acknowledged, but at home with family I was made fun of.
I turned this on while my friend was visiting. We got cold in my house and I offered her some cocoa or cider. She said spiced apple cider was a white people thing. I was baffled by that. Anyway she really enjoyed the cider. I was blown by that. Why are we so quick to call something white just because we haven’t experienced it? Thanks for this conversation ❤
My HEART is FULL!! So Beautiful. Thank you
This was such a necessary conversation. I think a lot of Black women especially students and/or when are in the workplace feel the burden of the responsibility of excellence. While White counterparts can be individuals, we face scrutiny, pressure and praise with a collective lens. The talking “white or proper” at school and work and then code switching at home gets exhausting, but when I was younger at times it was needed to survive at my PWI. However, in my 30’s they gonna get me…all of it!
That quote is on point #notthesharkitsthewater
Had to support my play cousins in my head!! Love this conversation of such relatable content!! x
Beautiful and important conversation! Great work super friends!❤️
So so good!
I really liked this conversation!! 😍😍😍
I Loved This Conversation and i can see myself in it. I always had people tell me i acted or spoke like a white girl and it definitely left me confused at times.
Such a great series! White supremacy is not a shark but the sea ✊🏾✊🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I’m a day 1 Mented #5 wearer too 💋
Well done, ladies. What a great conversation! I particularly enjoyed the CEO from Mented and their origin story.
To one of your questions, I’ve felt the need to be “the best” as a black woman working in clinical research. There are a lot of women in this industry but not many like me with brown skin poppin’, visible tattoos, colorful hair and always ready with a smile. I sometimes wonder if I’m too loud or too happy but I’m at this big age of 45 where people are going to get me as I am. I’m not willing to diminish myself anymore.
I know that's right!
Love Dr.Tykeia!! She’s a great representation of black women in education spaces who are multifaceted and multidimensional.
Love love love it!!!
Really great conversation! In my experience I’ve had people say “you talk like a white girl”, and I recall being offended by that. On an episode of GG, Dr. Taylor shared a similar experience and he likened it to being able to speak two languages thus a benefit because in no way could being able to speak more than one language in different settings is a bad thing.
Additionally as it relates to my experiences in schools, I can recall a black woman teacher making me feel that as a young black girl from the hood that I wasn’t as good as my black classmates who weren’t from the same sort of place. So it’s my hope now as a teacher not to ever make a student feel inadequate. Fully acknowledging that I’m no authority, if I could give advice to a black girl/woman who may feel misrepresented/misunderstood, I’d say that you are enough as you are and that the world may see you in certain ways but it matters only how you see yourself. There’s nothing wrong with striving for greatness in different capacities as long as you’re true to yourself. Punch up, don’t punch down.
Can’t wait for the next episode!
Thank you for sharing! Your students are blessed to have someone who is looking out for them in more ways than one. The educators we need.
First and foremost, I have to thank Dr. Tykeia N. Robinson for starting this series with such an important topic. Also a huge thank you to Fran and Jade. So much of your experiences resonated with my own, and I felt relief knowing I'm not the "only Black girl" who feels this way or experiences these things.
As someone who also works in higher ed, I'm extremely grateful to you three for this conversation. This work is important, and it can be extremely lonely at times. Because of y'all and your willingness to share your unique stories, this little Black girl feels less alone.
❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!
This series + Grad application season=chef’s kiss 🤌🏽
Congratulations! Sending you lots of love on your journey.
@@jadeverette6642Thank you, I got accepted! 🎉
when Fran said- I don't know how to talk... STRUCK A NERVE I didn't even know was there. I love these women and needed this series. Shout out to Target for really genuinely supporting Black and POC business and personalities, it feels like they are the only big corp that kept their 2020 promise
I remember I loved HeyFranHey's old website dowwnn. She looks so gorgeous!😍
Thank you ❤❤❤
Shout out to Mented!!! I love their foundation 😍
❤❤❤❤
Love this! The bangles were slightly distracting sound wise but overall this was amazing!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I love this conversation, much needed and long overdue
And we hope they continue on. Thank you for supporting!
Gen z will quit a job and I get anxiety everytime I’m a little late. We can learn alot from them
You're absolutely right, I definitely am working on pivoting my perspective. The yute dem have some gems to offer.
I appreciate these conversations so much. I’ve been listening to these ladies while unlearning being an overachiever, giving myself a wider lane to operate in, and the grace and permission I haven’t been given or given myself in the past. There’s so much value in feeling seen. Like a tiny pressure valve gets released even if you can’t get all the pressure off your back.
This was a conversation I didn’t know I needed. Really appreciated this
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Yes! This is so needed.
❤️❤️❤️
I definitely see myself reflected in this conversation. I was always told that I talk white because I was raised to consider grammar when I speak. Even in my big age of 36 I have been ridiculed by black men and women because I choose to not focus on stereotypically “black” or “hood” ideals. I grew up believing I had an attitude problem and was mean because I questioned authority and my emotions were overtly displayed in my facial expression, body language, and tone. As I grew into adulthood, I began diluting my expressiveness to avoid job loss or for the sake of another person’s comfort. Respectability politics are still alive, while they have slightly diminished, there are still older generations of professional women who believe that there is a particular way black women should use their voice and posture to appease authority and get our “needs met”. I am constantly on the fence about adjusting my tone and posture for this reason because systems (certain workplaces and most other business settings) respond negatively to an authentic presentation of dissatisfaction or assertion of confident intelligence from black women. The negative response persists even if dissatisfaction is relayed respectfully especially of it is void of self-deprecation. The advice I give to my younger self and any other young black femme is to maintain that confident intelligence. Don’t allow the other person’s grasp for dominance to deter you from standing in your power.
The eyeshadow sticks are life!!!! I love Mented products. I can totally relate to Dr. Robinson. This presentation makes me feel less alone.
Such a beautiful conversation💕 I look forward to the other episodes
Grateful for these conversations! Thank you!
I really felt Dr. Tykeia when she talked about how her classmate told her she wrote like a white girl. When I was younger I would get accused of “acting white” because I made good grades or participated in certain activities. I remember in middle school I had brought home a straight A report card and an older Black girl told me I thought I was white because I made good grades. It bothered me (but not enough to ruin my grades -I still had to answer to my parents) and it took me going to an HBCU to see other Black people taking pride in their academics.
You just spoke the basis of my entire childhood when we moved to the US! I still get this treatment today.
Dope!! Thanks Ladies and Target:)
Hitting like 2 secs in …bc why not ✨🙌🏾😊
Energy ✨
And we are grateful!
Absolutely loved this! This is a conversation that is long overdue. I definitely related to each of the experiences that each of you ladies shared in some shape, way, form or fashion. I am excited to see the remaining parts of the series.
Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.
This is everything!! The trio 😊.
#intersectionality. Thank you Kimberly Crenshaw. Thank you 1892. #doublejeopardy.
Manifesting for this: I can’t wait for the addition of HeyCrissle in the next Friendsgirl group endeavor?

Check our IG Live on 11/22 at 8 PM! The four of us will be doing a little after party to discuss all three episodes. 💙
now THIS is a real conversation!
Come through Dr. Robinson with the course on intersectionality! 🔥 So many thoughts that we don’t discuss enough among our Black women. Growing up I had to play a dual role as the only black girl in honors classes but sitting at the all Black lunch table. Didn’t find my “tribe” of similar Black students who took the same courses until my PWI university. But growing up, always heard similar trigger statements that was discussed - “you talk white” 🤦🏽♀️. Glad to know there are spaces like this to have the dialogue. As a mom to 2 girls, I want to create a space that my daughters will know the value of their voice.
Beautiful conversation ❤
Oh wow!!! I love and identify with this soooooo much. Thank you ladies for having THIS conversation.
A conversation that definitely needs to be had. Thank you ladies! ❤❤❤
Already loving this series!
Thank you lovelies 🫶🏿
Hey ladies! Y’all look beautiful. The set looks beautiful. These conversations are needed.
I understand what Fran is saying about the respectability piece from Kia’s story, however respect in the professional environment is imperative amongst peers, just as in all relationships, it’s not just given to anyone, it is earned through your reputation and work ethic, no matter who or what you are.
I love these conversations because it helps to see other perspectives and how people think. I want to add that we must also self evaluate and be aware enough to know how carrying a perspective or way of thinking can actually hinder our potential and life experiences.
I understand what that woman was trying to tell Kia, and she is commended for doing so. I’m also so glad that Kia did not conform and continues to be unapologetic in all space because that is what makes her unique. As well as a pioneer in shifting her peers perspective and prejudice of what an academic and knowledgeable BW can look like
Thank you for this conversation!❤
I was so happy when living single came out because then my name Khadijah became a almost a household name. But yes I too had the teachers all my life struggle with my name.
love the set design. ❤
I have always been an academic and a bookworm, and have had my blackness called into question for both. This episode resonated with me, thank you ladies.
I most definitely see myself in your experiences with intersectionality through my schooling. I’m studying to be a Chemical Engineer and I don’t really see myself being represented in this academic environments. Great discussion ladies! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode 🥰🥰🥰
This was so great! Looking forward to the next episode!
Thank you for this conversation. To answer the academic question: I used to get allll of the time "you talk so well" "you talk like a white girl". I used to think that was a badge of honor but am realizing the more I listen to shows such at this one and other podcasts that this is NOT a badge of honor. I used to struggle immensely with wanting to be white so I could be liked. Kids in school would call me an Oreo because of how I talked, how I dressed, who I chose to love. It took a lot of unlearning to get where I am today and I am thankful now to use my voice, share my story and TAKE UP ALL OF THE SPACE because I know the more space I take, the more space it is creating for others.
YESS!
You all are so beautiful!!! Love to see you!
Jade, I always felt you and I are Virgo, twin soul sisters, from the singing to the “umm hum”, to loving good food and a good book. Lol this has definitely been solidified when I saw you with those shoes!!!!! I live for a beautiful wooden clog heel and have them in all colors!!!!
I love you all!!!!
Clog Gang gang!!!!!
Absolutely can’t wait for the rest of this series ❤❤❤ these conversations are so necessary
We hope each episode resonates with all aspects of our community! Thank you for always supporting!
This was beautiful can’t wait to see whats to come. Congrats ladies!!!
I absolutely enjoyed this and knew I that I would. Amazing job faves! Can't wait for episode two. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤
I'm so excited for this series! Such an honest & insightful conversation. I didn't attend private school, but went to a public white rural school outside of my predominately Black city. I learned that to exist as a Black girl without consequence in a white space meant that I had to be damn near perfect -- which is, in itself, a consequence. Still unraveling all the ways that continues to inform how I move about the world today. Learning to embrace the complexities, beauty, and imperfections of being me and being a Black woman
Whew! The daily work of unlearning the toxicity of the perfectionism and measuring worth by what we accomplish and not by who we are. It's hard work but we deserve it. Thanks so much for chiming in. We deal more with these concepts in episode 2. Truly appreciate the support.
I wish I could scoot right in on that couch with Keia and join this convo, chile! I relate to all three of your stories at different points in my life. I remember specifically being the only child in my family, at the time, in private school and wanting to go to public school so I could be like everyone else. But I also remember being made to feel like I had to stand up for myself as a Black girl in my neighborhood over my very being! I took such offense to my family and peers equating positive attributes to Whiteness simply because it was different. That’s why it’s so good to see the shift in embracing alternative Blackness and expanding what it means to be Black in the main stream. I think our generation relates so much to our experiences in this conversation that the result is what we see today. Expanding the monolith if you will.
*scoots over* COME ON! Thanks for lending your perspectives in the comments. Join the live twitter chat for episode 2 as Fran takes us even deeper in the myth of meritocracy, respectability politics, and more.
Love it !!! My girlfriends in my head lol 🤎🤎🤎
MY FAVES! I'm so glad this conversation is happening. I was just having a discussion with someone the other day (after listening to a podcast episode on white women attempting to lump our struggles in with theirs) in which I mentioned that they have the luxury of being seen first as just women whereas our Blackness is always at the forefront. They fail to understand how that intersectionality creates far more bias. We are living and thriving in a world that was not built for us and having to make and hold space for ourselves every day.
THIS!!!!
My favs!!!! so grateful for this series. all of yalls unique beautiful and black characteristics have inspired me as a young black women for years. Yall have no idea the impact youve had man. thank yall and congratulations on this beautiful project. your hard work is so appreciated
Grateful to you and your support all this time 🙏
This was long awaited 🙏🏾 Love this beautiful and timely conversation! ❤ S/o FriendZone & Gettin Grown fam!
This was a great conversation I’m looking forward to the rest of the series 🤎
ya'll are legit my best friends in my head lol. so grateful for all the work that you put in for US
I’m so so so in love with this ✨ I’m sharing this with all my friends!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you! That's what we want, for these conversations to continue on.
This was such a great conversation. I’ve often thought about how early my parents spoke to me about the Black Tax and the level of perfectionism that its built in me. I love the convo about the nuanced ways in which we uphold systems.
And of course, the set was a whole vibe from the color, to the styles and lighting. Excited for ep2
Perfectionism is definite an unfortunate by product of the Black Tax and constant pressure to perform the convention of "success." We def dig deeper into this in episode 2. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Means a lot.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I went to all white K-12s and a PWI. My advice would be to be unapologetically you. You may not find your people in grade school but in college there will be other Black Women/people searching for community. Community will improve your mental health which will help your grades. Those people don’t determine your worth, you are excellent regardless.
Looking forward to the next episodes. It's so good to see yall faces lol, I'm so used to hearing yall voices mostly from the podcasts.💗
Yall look so intimidatingly put-together, regal & intellectual!
Hi L, words are very powerful so may I offer a tiny reframing? They do not look 'intimidating' or 'intimidatingly' anything. That puts the onus of intimidation on the person you are describing, in this case, black women. Conversely, to describe how you feel by how put-together, regal, and intellectual they are, you can say you are intimidated, that shifts the onus to you.
@@candii10 I like this gentle re-framing
🤍🤍🤍
My experiences in throughout all school was gave me so many mixed messages about who I was suppose to be for others as a black woman 🥹 When Fran was talking about the transition between the private and public school I felt seen.
I started in a public school that was mostly black and got messages about doing “white” activities. But then switched up and went to a highschool in the suburbs and now Im both too & not enough black 😭
Love it here. 🤎
This was great.
