It's Been a Minute · Are we fueling violence against women? · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

And like I mentioned, when you add on layers of it being about women or about people of color, it's just going to get so much worse.

And I think that's a bit of what we're seeing, which makes it difficult to track.

And something I also see as a through line, and this is particularly coming from just like my work in like Black feminist circles and talking to girls about violence.

And a lot of it is also really prevalent in like the conversations around sex trafficking that I'm having.

with some of these young girls in these hoods around this idea that punishment for you being loud, right?

Punishment for you having an opinion, for you saying no is violence, right?

How many stories have we heard where a woman rejects someone?

Or how many times has it been that you get catcalled, you say no, and the next thing you know, you're a B word, you're this or that, there's someone following you in a car.

You know what I'm saying?

And those things may seem unfortunately like a really horrible rite of passage.

It's like, yeah, this is something that's going to happen to you.

But if you look farther up that iceberg, the tip of it is femicide.

Like at any moment, anyone can do anything to you.

One year after Congress eliminated federal funding for public media, NPR remains committed to informing the public.

But a free press doesn't just happen.

It's something we must protect.

Without federal funding, we're relying on your support now.

I will say my personal least favorite representations, you take a show like Baddies and people decide like, oh, that's how all Black women are.

And I think these ideas that the most sort of bombastic, exaggerated representations of what Black womanhood looks like is the entirety of us, which if you think for even a millisecond longer, you know, that's just not the case.
