episode In Loving Memory of Kanye West: Confronting My Need to Baby Black Men cover

Description

What if Kanye West was a white man? Would he still be called a genius? Reviewing myparasocial relationship with one of the greatest artists of all time. As we grieve the evolution of Kanye—from cultural icon to cautionary tale—we explore the deeper question: Why do Black women feel the need to save Black men, even at our own expense? From the pressure to be the “strong” one to the unspoken expectation of emotional labor, we unpack the ways Black women are conditioned to endure suffering in the name of love. It’s time to shift the conversation—Black men need therapy, not saving. Healing isn’t a luxury, and accountability isn’t abandonment. Join me as we challenge the narrative, demand better, and, most importantly, choose ourselves. Tune in, reflect, and let’s have the conversation that’s long overdue.
