Shownotes Transcript

Whew… this week’s Brown Table is packed, y’all.

Mandi is joined by not one, not two, but three first-time Brown Table guests: Alexa Claire from The Financial Diet, JQ (aka Jonquilyn Hill) from Vox’s "Explain It To Me" podcast, and Yvie Saint-Louis from Blavity. We dive into the news, the nonsense, and everything in between from pop culture and politics to the real-life messiness of being Black, brilliant, and bold in America.

 

This week, we get into:

-Beyoncé in London: the rain, the glow, and yes, ugly tears were shed.

-Trump and Elon’s billionaire beef… is it all just a stunt?

-ICE raids, National Guard in LA, and why peaceful protests keep being met with force.

-Why Black women are still expected to be the mature ones and what happens when we just want to clap back.

-From Coco Gauff to Simone Biles to a teenage track star with flaming feet (literally): why the world can’t handle confident Black girls.

Plus: The Tonys, the audacity of Patti LuPone, and whether Hamilton still goes hard (spoiler: it does).
