Sufficiently Black

Oreo gang.....We're excited to announce the launch of Sufficiently Black premiering on September 21st! Rebranded from So-Called Oreos, Sufficiently Black is a show that explores what it means to be comfortable in your Blackness despite living in a world obsessed with stereotypes. Hosts Kia, Amari, and Janae will deep-dive into Black womanhood, identity and culture through a critical lens as they navigate their way through adulthood. Join us every other Tuesday for funny and intellectual conversations about what it means to be "sufficiently Black."

Oreo gang we are still prepping for this rebrand but don't worry we are coming back stronger than ever! Amari decided to grace us with a lovely poem before we take a look at an episode all about love and friendship! The Oreos discuss the importance and significance of the Black female friendships they have in their lives and Amari open ups about her friends reaching out when she decided not to be as social. Janae reveals her epiphany on what really matters to her in the world and Kia explains how Black women have helped her exceed in her professional life as well as opening her eyes during some tough situations.   Db: https://track.webgains.com/click.html?wgcampaignid=1540545&wgprogramid=280805 Join us on Discord!: discord.gg/d3RrepdTdQ Merch: https://socalledoreos.bigcartel.com/ So-Called Oreos Club: www.joinclubhouse.com/club/so-called-oreos Email: [email protected] Twitter: @sufficientlyblk Instagram: @sufficinetlyblk YouTube: https://bit.ly/3nutxC2 Audience Survey: bit.ly/2vOYtH9

It is the last episode before the rebrand! We are taking a look back at one of our most played episodes and a highly requested topic... Colorism.

It is the last episode before So-Called Oreos takes a hiatus for the summer before our well anticipated rebrand! (Don't worry we will still have episodes for you to listen to during the break.) Before the main topic of discussion, the hosts discuss some problematic celebrities and the real definition of "cancel culture." In honor of Juneteenth, the Oreos give some background on the holiday and discuss how they celebrated (or didn't celebrate) growing up. The Melanin Martha aka Jordan Wimby joins the show to talk about platform that is dedicated to healing generational trauma by reconnecting with our ancestors and history through food. Jordan explains why its important for us to appreciate the food we eat and how to stop the anti-blackness in the food world. She touches on historical points in Netflix's High on the Hog, how our ancestors gained power in cooking and why "soul food" isn't less healthy than food mostly consumed by white people.   The Melanin Martha: www.instagram.com/themelanin_martha/ Relief Factor: bit.ly/3f5iKMo Join us on Discord!: discord.gg/d3RrepdTdQ So-Called Oreos Club: www.joinclubhouse.com/club/so-called-oreos Merch: https://socalledoreos.bigcartel.com/ Email: [email protected] Twitter: @sufficientlyblk Instagram: @sufficinetlyblk YouTube: https://bit.ly/3nutxC2 Audience Survey: bit.ly/2vOYtH9
