Hello lovelies,
So over the weekend our professor Dr. Fairchild recommended we listen to the podcast, 2 Dope Queens with Phoebe Robinson. I've got to say, it was so crazy I really liked it. She is so badass! The most recent podcast she uploaded was about the women's march a few weeks ago and she was talking about how she went to the march in DC. If I remember correctly, I think she performed there that night and had a few guests come to do stand-up and to talk about their experience at women's march. Just by the way it sounded, made me wish I could've gone to her show. It is so funny! She's so crazy and so unfiltered, as well as all of her guests comedians, that the show just hits you like a brick wall, like WHOA! But you know, I feel like it's something we all needed to hear. In this day and age, it seems like there is more sensitivity to what is said in the media and sometimes you have to walk on eggshells and be politically correct as to not sound like a racist, sexist or just a plain douchebag. In this podcast, she tells it like it is, she does whatever the hell she wants, she says whatever the hell she wants and she breaks the female stereotype. She's funny, rugged, grungy, she's unfiltered, she's very vocal and opinionated. I think it shows that women are not just a mannequin to only be seen, not heard and used for their bodies. They don't always have to be modest and lady-like; they can curse and act the way they want to act. The best part of it is, if anyone doesn't like that, they can just leave because being a female means a lot of things not just a pretty little princess that likes pink and sits on her chair all day.
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I can only imagine how funny her book is. I can't wait to read it.

Stay Strong, Stay Beautifull, Stay Empowered.

I've started listening to the podcasts from the oldest ones. They are so funny. I agree the uninhibited nature is the best part!
