Hey y’all,
What a day. What a day.
How do I feel? Meh. No dramatic despair or rage, just a firm commitment to focus on the fights that matter and preserve my MF peace.
In today’s podcast, I unpack why I’m shifting my energy away from obsessing over every news cycle and toward investing in smaller-scale, meaningful actions. From discussing the derangement of Trump loyalists to examining the Democratic Party’s malpractice in engaging younger Black voters, there’s a lot to dissect about how we navigate this chaotic political era.
Speaking of that, I share some insights from my recent readings on Black political behavior and gender politics. Did you know that generational and regional divides deeply shape Black women’s policy views? Or that anti-feminism and racial resentment significantly drive support for Trump among some women of color? These patterns were predictable, yet ignored, and it’s frustrating to see how Democrats have failed to adapt their strategies.
And yes, I do spend a little time critiquing fashion moments from the inauguration (Melania’s hat? A no from me. Ivanka’s outfit? I loved it 🤷🏾♀️ ). Still, this podcast is really about sidestepping the outrage traps set to drain us.
Peace and clarity,
Kim
