Party of Four 

What if your lifestyle was determined by the amount of likes you got; where you’d lived and how much your rent would cost; what seat you’d be given on a flight or the kind of cars you’d drive. Would you be able to survive? While we are not living in this reality (yet? lol), we know that the influence of social media is real. This week's conversation was inspired by an episode entitled "Nose Drive," on the Netflix series, Black Mirror. In our episode, The Party of Four explores how social media affects not just our viewpoints of self-image, or self-worth, but also our happiness, relationships and even political ideologies. And while acknowledging our evolving reliance on social networks as a means of communication, this party of four each take a unique approach to address the influence of social media in their personal lives. Listen in as we bring the drinks, the jokes, the real and honest sass to yet another everyday conversation that takes place among this party of four.


The Influence of Social Media 

Do you feel as though there’s such a thing as ‘a women’s place’? Do you think gender roles are still prevalent and/or even necessary in today's relationships? Does being ‘the man of the house’ in hetero- relationships still come with oppressive ideologies that restrict the woman’s personal development, growth and aspirations? Can today’s woman of color really have her cake and eat it too? These questions and more are explored in this week's episode of the hit-series, Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker. Your party of four takes a critical and analytical lens to the limited series by Nicole Jefferson Asher that dramatizes "the untold and highly irreverent story of black hair care pioneer and mogul Madam C. J. Walker.” Listen in as we bring the drinks, the jokes, the real and honest sass to yet another everyday conversation that takes place among this party of four.
